I have owned several editions and copies of this book, going way back to the first edition when I was 9. I used it to become one of the best fisherwomen in our family.
That first edition book got lost in my travels, so I got the new edition for my older daughter to use it for a ready reference for fishing tips when on trips. She is 25 now and is a good fisherwoman like her mother. That book eventually got lost too, so I got another new edition for my youngest daughter of 12 and also for myself so I can learn how to fish on the Southeast Coast of the United States. I am 50 now and still take the book with me whenever I go fishing in the Pacific Northwest as a ready reference on fishing rig set ups.

“Golden Books” were great for my children and grandchildren, and now their “Fishing”, “A Guide To Fresh and Salt-water”, book helps me with salt-water fish identification and tackle preparation. I have recently relocated to the S.C. coast and do a lot of salt-water fishing. With all of the rules and regulations relative to fish size and limits, “Fishing” comes in handy in identifying the fish caught so as not to run afoul of the “man” by having the wrong fish in the creel.

This book is AWESOME for the beginner! I just got back into fishing (haven’t fished since I was a kid) and it really covers most of the bases. It goes over the different areas to fish (rivers, lakes, ponds, etc) and gives you tips on the hot spots of this places. It also reviews the different types of hooks/jigs/bait to use for which fish. It’s a great little book to keep with you and also give as a gift to someone who is just starting up.

I saw an earlier edition of the “Golden Guide to Fishing” many years ago when I was young and it left an impression on me then. I always believed it would make a nice addition for teaching the Fishing Merit Badge in Boy Scouts. After purchasing and reading the new edition, I am convinced. A great resource for not only the beginning fisherman, but also for experienced anglers as well.

Aside from being a good, introductory guide to fishing, this book’s artwork makes it a classic of 1960s artwork. The book contains great old photographs of men in waders, leaping tuna, and dead fish hanging from hooks, as well as terrifically kitschy drawings of various trout, reels, knots, and mahi-mahi.
The book is well organized and thorough, and even contains an index.
I’ll keep my copy forever.
