Kids' guide to fishing The young angler's guide to catching more and bigger fish

Dave Maas

Book - 2017

"If you're like most young anglers, you don't care what kind of fish you catch as long as you get something. After all, while it's fun just to be outside spending time away from home (chores) and school (tests), fishing is the most fun when you catch fish. By reading [this book], you'll learn great tips for catching all sorts of fish. This book is also filled with little-known fish facts, like: Did you know that some of the fish you catch are older than you? It's true! Just check out the fish age charts in this book! Also included is a real working compass to help you navigate through the wilderness. It won't take you long to read this book. That's good, because you'll have more hours for... fishing! Bring this book along on your next fishing trip, because somewhere in these pages is the one thing that will make all the difference between going home empty-handed and catching the biggest fish of your life."--Amazon.com.

Review by Booklist Review

*Starred Review* If you think that fishing is nothing more than dangling an impaled worm off a dock, you've got another think coming. This informative title in the Ranger Rick Kids' Guides is made for young anglers, whether they are just beginning or looking to improve their technique. Four color-coded chapters provide thorough overviews of common North American fish species; tackle, bait, and casting technique; getting fish to bite; and deciding whether to keep or release what's been caught (with a reminder to check local laws). With a sturdy, working compass built into the cover, this is a literal field guide. Maas emphasizes learning about the fish you plan to catch, as this determines everything from hook size, line strength, and the type of bait or lure used to where to cast your line. Photo and digital illustrations enhance the book's usefulness by providing readers with fish identification guides accompanied by range maps, diagrams of knot tying and enticing rod twitches, and maps of where to fish in different bodies of water (lakes, streams, etc.). An alluring resource.--Smith, Julia Copyright 2017 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review

These books present detailed guides for children who may have little experience with the titular outdoor recreations. Each uses a how-to format with step-by-step instructions; useful tips; and basic information related to sites, gear, food preparation, and activities. Illustrations, photos, and diagrams extend the readable texts on cleanly designed pages. Each book includes a working compass. Ind.
