Any fisherman worth their salt(water) will, over time, build up a diverse collection of fishing books.

Fishing is a lifetime pursuit and there's always more to learn to make the pastime even more enjoyable.

Fishing books range from those with gorgeous images but little factual reference information, to detailed encyclopedic manuals that are invaluable for catching a specific kind of fish.

A good fishing book collection should contain a healthy mix that covers all bases.

To help you find the must-haves for your fishing book collection, we're compiling a database of fishing book reviews so that you're better informed before making your next purchase or going on the hunt at your local library.

If one of your favourites are not listed, please let us know so that we can add it right away. Ideally, you should send us your impressions of the book to add to the review as well.
