Frank Amato Publications has a well deserved reputation for being a premier publisher of especially 'user friendly' books on the art and craft fishing. Now they've come up with a new series of fishing and outdoors 'pegboard' instructional books that at 3 1/2" by 7" are perfectly sized for inserting into a pocket, a tackle box, a glove box, or a boat compartment so that they can easily and accessibly accompany fishermen anywhere and everywhere. "Here's How To ...: Bait Fishing For Trout" by expert angler and outdoors writer Terry Sheely is the first of this new series and deftly covers the basics of bait-fishing including the use of rods, reels, lines, and other terminal gear. Step-by-step illustrated instructions are provided for knot tying, selecting rigging, as well as attaching weights and hooks. Also provided is such useful information as to different trout species, where they can best be found, successful baits to use and when to use them, and so much more that will prove invaluable--especially for the novice angler. Also highly recommended and the second title in this outstanding series is "Here's How To ...: Fishing Rigs" (9781571884404, $7.95) by Robert H. Campbell which is a superbly illustrated guide to rigs for salmon, steelhead, trout, kokanee, sturgeon, shad, halibut, and more.
