To some, fishing is a sport. To others, it is a relaxing pastime. To
beginners, though, it can be just plain confusing! This new series seeks
to guide novices through the basic dos and donts of fishing. From
stocking a tackle box and baiting a hook to landing and cleaning a fish,
young anglers will learn how to properly prepare for any fishing outing.
Contextualizing the ancient history of fishing with tips on how to be
respectful of nature and other anglers, each book works with the others
to compile a comprehensive look at the sport. A concluding activity
encourages readers to create their own forms of fishing gear.
