Barnes published Carhart's Fresh Water Fishing this year (see report P. 264). Now comes this excellent first book for aspiring fishermen. The facts are here, the lore, the data on basic classes of fish (game fish, forage fish, rough fish). There is discussion of types of water and its bearing on fishing; tackle and how to handle it; overhead casting by dry land practice; application of techniques on water; lake lore; stream lore; and conservation as the sportsman's responsibility. Good for plus sale with boys.
