I want to learn how to fish. Anyone know of any good books for beginners.?

Question

I want to learn about the tackle and how to tie knots and bait and everything like that.

Answer 1

Don't have a book ta' recommend but here's a couple of links that'll help, 1st one bein' the tying of knots and 2nd one is fundamentals of fishin'. Both are good sites and I suggest ya' hold onto them for future reference. Good luck ta' you and "Fish On" ;)...

Answer 2

One would be Ken Schultz's Fishing Encyclopedia, another would be The Complete Fisherman, which is a Field and Stream publication. You should be able to get either at your library. They may be a little pricey for the beginner but all the answers (or just about) are in these publications.

Answer 3

well nothing is better than experience, if you want the best answers ask someone who knows how. I personally know how to fish regularly and how to fly fish. i know just about all of the knots and about the baits and most of the other stuff ( i dont know it all because im still learning a little too)
if you want some answers you could e-mail me some questions and ill be happy to answer them :)

Answer 4

Vic Dunaway's "Complete Book of Bait's ,Rig's & Tackle".

This book gives you an "overview" on all types of fishing, saltwater & freshwater. It does not cover a ton of flyfishing techniques or focus on Alaska/"Great North" fishing. Vic Dunaway was the editor for FLA Sportsman Magazine for many many years. If you catch it in saltwater Vic has bait's, rig's & tackle, in diagrams ready for your pleasure! He cover's the freshwater aspect's well too!

Vic's book gives great "basic" info that a "first-time" fisher-person will need. Once you've "narrowed" the type of fishing you want to do ,you can buy/check-out at the library, your genre of fishing!

Answer 5

best way is to go fish. get a pole and get out there. watch the kidds they catch the biggest ones lol. ask people at the bait store what to use and where to go they will set ya right

Answer 6

go to your local library and get a book about fishing knots i find reading one of those before going out fishing helps me remember the knots but idk about any good books to help you learn to fish ..... if you have an friends that are good fishermen ask them to take you out and watch what they do and how they do it
