Review: A MUST HAVE BOOK, if you have a library of your own or not this is it, I have used this book many times when I go to a new area, state,location, or wherever, it tells where,when and what is needed,its great, one problem I found is I lost it now I cant find it and am lost without it. I have over 75 other books on fishing and this one I miss the most!!!

Summary: This is THE must have book for any serious angler!
Review: I have been an avid reader of A.J. McClane for some years now and have found this volume to be the best of the best. It is in my opinion the most detailed and factual reference to be found on catching fish. Of particular value is the section on angling methods which clearly explains the various means by which you can catch your quarry. Any fish, anywhere in the world can be found in this book along with it's life cycle, spawning habits, how to catch it and weather it is good to eat. No angling library is complete without this valuable reference.

Review: The book is the best in its field, as it contains plenty of information for the casual fisherman or for the expert angler.
Unfortunately is somewhat outdated. Great book that every angler should have in their library/

Summary: If you catch, cook and eat fish, this book is a must have.
Review: We recently purchased a vacation home/fish camp in the Florida Keys. My wife consumes no meat, but loves fish. I of course, must comply with this life-style or cook for myself. The Encyclopedia of Fish Cookery became a source of endless new experiences. Our taste buds now have experienced here-to-for unimagined sensations. The book clearly defines the limits of consumption, from blowfish to shark and well beyond. The book covers everything we have ever encountered at the end of a line and many that we are actively pursuing. This book is greatly enhanced by beautiful and appropriate photography by Arie deZanger. If you tend toward coffee table books this edition fits nicely in a home that prides itself on excellent food, a focus on fishing, or simply enjoying nature! The proof is in the eating...try it, you'll like it!
