Best of the Best

How-to books are usually boring, often dry and humorless, missing key components like diagrams that actually show you what to do. For the purposes of this list, I will assume you don’t fish much or you wouldn’t need a how-to book. For this list, I selected a cross-section of the best conventional how-to books for fresh or salt, bass or trout and these books are thorough, interesting, and surprisingly, often humorous.
