"The Almanac has always been a potpourri of outdoor-related subjects, everything from nature quizzes, to wild game recipes (like antelope enchiladas), to bad jokes about game wardens, to how to call predators by sucking the palm of your hand.... Now, for the first time, all the best of the wonderful fishing-related subject matter has been rooted out by editor Golad ("Mr. Almanac") and is concentrated between these covers. The Sports Afield Fishing Almanac has information on all your favorite game species, including bass (large-mouth, smallmouth, striped, you name it), the trouts, panfish, walleyes, the pikes and numerous saltwater species. The book tells you how to catch them by multitudinous methods. All you want to know about tackle and gear and boats, on ad infinitum and, of course, how to prepare, store, and cook your succulent catch in a variety of ways. If that does not seem to be enough you will also find informative nuggets about weather, safety, health, fishing regulations, travel tips for fishermen and even fishing quizzes. No one has actually counted...but there are far more than a thousand valuable bits and pieces of angling wisdom to rummage through." - Tom Paugh from his "Introduction" (81/2 X 11, 160 pages, articles: b&w photos, illustrations, diagrams, charts)
