#1 Post by Richie07 »

Can anyone recommend some good fishing books to read over the Winter. I just finished Out Of The Blue by Chris Yates for the 3rd time, great book btw if it's Bass you like, anyway any others I should get?

Spin-fishing for sea trout by Gary Webster

A technical but very readable book on using spoons when chasing sea trout if that's what you're into

Basically the author is a freshwater angler and has just moved over to sea fishing and discovered Bass. It's more a short fishing story and the way he writes you can almost imagine you are there. It's a relaxing read and is not about techniques or equipment.

Try, The Dorling Kindersley Encyclopedia of Fishing, not sure if theres a new edition but quite good for the beginner.

This is an older classic, but one I keep going back to: Sea Trout Fishing by Hugh Falkus. http://www.amazon.com/Sea-Trout-Fishing ... 1841881848 Not a sea trout specialist myself, but the writing, the stories, the fishing lore, and the characters are so good it makes you want to jump into the waders and head out the door. And the photos of yesteryears' catches would make you pray for a Time Machine....

Nice one. Have ordered a few mentioned above from Amazon, but please keep the suggestions coming in. Always good to have a few waiting to be read.

Check out Coch y Bonddu books in Wales. I think it's http://www.anglebooks.com. They have a great selection of new and secondhand angling books including out of print classics. For example a few years ago I got The Osprey Anglers series book on Bass by Ireland's Des Brennan and also the edition on Sharks by Kevin Linnane.
