Publisher's Synopsis
Anglers cast their lines for many reasons-sport, trophies, relaxation, or a satisfying meal. Each journey into nature strips away the burden of modern life and awakens the senses. Fishing delivers the whole experience: from solitude and serenity on the banks of a nearby pond at dusk, to companionship and bonding on an Alaskan adventure. Freshwater fishing-truly a lifetime sport for people of all ages and abilities-offers tons of options, empowering anglers to fashion each outing to their style and interests. Anglers consider: Where to go? Size or creel limits? License? What kind of fish? Which gear and bait? Cast from shore? Troll from a boat? Eat my catch? Display it? Release it? Each choice spawns another question. The Smart Guide to Freshwater Fishing answers them all. Fishing pro Mike Seymour shares his vast knowledge and experience to prepare you for any trip-whether it's your first cast or millionth. Plus, every angler will consult again and again the details of more than 50 of the most common freshwater species Mike has collected over a lifetime of -fishing. Cast your line wherever you go, and hook more fish every time.
