This book is very informative on almost all freshwater fish species. There isn't to great of detail on each species, but its enough to get you started. I looked into this book for bluegill, trout, bass, and pike fishing tactics. The book gave me somewhere to start but still left me needing to know some more. Its not bad to get the necessary background info.

I live in NH and just started freshwater fishing for the first time. I went from knowing nothing to gaining some great info on what gear to buy (and not to buy), cold water vs warm water fishing, fish species and lake conditions. There were several helpful pages for techniques for fishing either on a boat or from the shore. The only down side that was not covered (thus 4 stars instead of 5). Was fish cleaning and keeping, and how to do proper catch and release on different species. Good book overall that covers a rather large amount of ground.

As an earlier reviewer pointed out (their comment appears to have been subsequently censored, unfortunately), most of these reviews appear to come from "interested parties" for the purpose of inflating the rating of this book. Notice that they are all written around Sept. 22, 2003, contain little information and give, unequivocally, 5 stars. Of course, they *could* all be independent, authentic reviews; judge for yourself. I have not seen or purchased the book, but merely wish to make readers aware of a possible issue.
