What Fish Don't Want You to Know: An Insider's Guide to Freshwater Fishing Review
Despite having a cabin near a nice lake, I hadn't been fishing for many... many... years. When I decided to have a go at it again I set about to find a good book that would give me the basics. What I found was Frank Baron's book which provided not only a good bit of information - but a welcome dose of the philosophy of fishing and... well... of life.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is even remotely interested in the topic. Since reading Frank's book I have set out to find others of equal quality, but I haven't found any yet.
"Did you learn anything useful?" you ask.
My first day out I hit the lake early. Following some of the guidance from the book, I moved to the downwind side where I found an area near some structure. I laid my line (rigged per one of Frank's suggestions) where the shade from the trees met the sun on the water (also per Frank's advice).
An hour later I had a nice rainbow in hand.
Since my only goal for the day was to catch dinner, I called it quits after that first fish. (See the chapter in the book on 'fishing ethics'.)
Thank's for a great book!

Just when you thought you knew all the answers, you learn more - Denis Merdian -
I really like this book. It was a good refresher and a good reference manual if you want to get back into fishing and have been away for a while. There are some new techniques in here that look promising that I plan to try soon.

There really isn't much in this book that your grandpa didn't already teach you.
Would I recommend this book to a friend? No. If you know absolutely NOTHING about fishing, then buy this book. But if you know the basics already, skip it.
entertaining and informative! - Sebastian Schultheiss - USA
Good book full of good information for me as a relative beginner. I love the humorous way the author writes and love his stories.
This is the most reader friendly fishing book I have seen so far.
