This won’t be a lengthy review, as it’s not a technical or complicated product that I’m talking about. No, this little gem is so simple that even I can use it.
Compiled by Malcolm Greenhalgh and with clear illustrations by Stuart Carter, The Pocket Guide To Freshwater Fish of Britain And Europe is a handy book for those who aren’t always 100% sure what they’ve caught. What’s more, each fish included also has various characteristics listed under the headings of ‘Distribution’, ‘Habitat’, ‘Feeding’, ‘Size’ and ‘Other Similar Species’. This makes it very useful for those anyone wanting to broaden their fishing experience by targeting fish that they wouldn’t normally consider. And remember, it covers Europe, not just Britain.
You’ll gain pleasure from browsing through this book and noting all the differences between various different species, but the true joy will come when you land something that you’re not quite sure of and successfully identify it!
The Pocket Guide To Freshwater Fish of Britain And Europe is due for release in February 2001 at the recommended price of £7.99, but you can buy this book now at a discounted price if you visit Amazon. Click here to check the best price for this book on Amazon.
