THE HISTORY OF FISHING

Humans have fished since the beginning of history. They have grappled fish out of the water with their bare hands, woven nets from grass and tree fibers, and baited hooks made from bone. For thousands of years, people have turned to fishing as a means of survival, but fishing in modern times has evolved into an incredible sport that can be enjoyed in waters anywhere on the planet. Fishing still pays homage to the sport’s ancient roots, but as individual fishermen constantly strive for bigger and better catches, inventors have created high-tech gear to land incredible fish. Fishing is the perfect pastime for all kinds of people, from those who want a quiet day out on the lake to those who welcome a great sporting contest to land the biggest fish. Fishing is certainly not a sport just for older people who have a lot of time on their hands. Fishing offers a thrill every time something unseen grabs your hook. The larger your fish, the harder the creature will fight, and the more strength and skill you will need to bring in your catch. This book gives you the information you need to develop the basic skills for every kind of fishing. It has been designed to help you learn the right techniques to be successful and to enjoy the sport, and the book also provides information on how to choose the right equipment and bait.
