I started fishing a year ago and went thru many books and website research, then I came across this book, Wow! it opens up a whole new perspective for my fishing technics by describing the detail of all fishing lures and bait available in the current market. For example, author lists all different kinds of Rapala, trolling sets, or flashers for specific lake or river application. very helpful not only for skill but also for equipment selection. thanks for putting this book together!

This book will teach the novice more than he can learn from ten years of actual experience.

When I first started fishing, I didn't have a clue- I pretty much used saltwater tackle at San Diego lakes without any luck. Then I picked up this book and have caught scores of trout from San Diego to the Sierras. Whether if you've just moved to California, a beginning angler, or an experienced trout fisherman, this book is for you. Go beyond drowning worms or powerbait and find out what a "Shasta Fly" or a "Christmas Tree" is. Learn the key differences between rainbows, browns, brookies, cutthroats, and goldens. Learn techniques on how to fish from the bank, trolling, or anchored on a boat that only a pro would know. This guide is a wealth of knowledge, providing not only how to catch trout but where to go, detailed maps, and even contact information! The only wasy this book could be better is a pass to go fishing with Mr. Kovach himself!
