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.

Thanks for the invite John. Peeked at your list used to own the Grits Gresham bass fishing book. Will check out group closer.

Grits Gresham!!  I haven't heard that name in years!! use to be a outstanding outdoors man!!

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??
