a great book for knowing about fishing
I actually bought this book for my grandson for his birthday and was very impressed. It goes into great detail about what bait to use and gives loads of pictures so you can easily identify what you have caught. This is a brilliant book for beginners and intermediate fishers ...well worth the money

a very good book for beginners.
Having purchased another fishing book for beginners that was a little disappointing I bought this one. I can recommend it, this for me was exactly what I was looking for, it gave understandable instruction,diagrams and plenty of them. Excellent details, large diagrams,and covered all aspects I wanted.Do not bother with any other book this definitely the one to go for. Well done Mr Miles.
