Veteran author and angler Hartt Wixom makes the complex simple with Fishing: The Extra Edge, his fourth book on the art and science of angling. Featuring proven strategies and secrets, advice for hooking and landing, helps for young anglers, and tips on bait fishing, spin fishing, and fly-fishing, this must-have book will help you develop the heart of an angler as it simultaneously helps you think like a fish. My hope in sharing half a century of angling experience herein is to help the beginner avoid mistakes and to provide the expert with an 'extra edge' as well. The beauty of it is that there is so much to learn, especially in fly-fishing, which I have treated more fully. Veteran guides I've talked with admit that they are still learning. So are we all. Or we should be. As you read Fishing: The Extra Edge, be assured that this guy knows how to catch fish. With him, it is not luck but rather skill. -- Frank Milliman, Anchorage, Alaska
