Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

The Complete Bad Angler by Philip Storey. It's a compilation of short articles from Angling Times a British fishing magazine. They are funny and self deprecating. I like the descriptions of the tackle and different fish Brits fish for,chubs,roaches and barbels. It's a free Kindle download.
What are some other good fishing books?

Yeah, you have all the bases covered!
Fishing and Shooting Sketches by Grover Cleveland , I didn't know this President was an avid sportsman. He wrote a defense for fishermen. There must have been Anti-fishing factions even back then. I read all fishing parts of the book and found many of the topics He mentions are still being discussed on this site. It is a free download on Kindle.

$3.49 download now, Ken.

But I never knew that about old Grover. Turns out he was quite the Conservative AND conservationist.

Just checked still free. His writing is very wordy.

weird - me too and free is over. Heres the link

http://www.amazon.com/Fishing-Shooting-Sketches-Illustrated-Clevela...

It's on there, keep looking for the plain cover edition, they try to sell you that one first.

I just finished The Complete Angler by Izaak Walton written in 1653. It a little hard to read but very interesting. A free down load on kindle.

Got that book out of the library years ago and enjoyed it .A classic must read !

A LITTLE hard to read??
