"Fishing Arkansas" offers year-round advice, Feb 22 2001
This review is from: Fishing Arkansas: A Year-Round Guide to Angling Adventures in the Natural St (P) (Paperback)
Keith Sutton, editor of Arkansas Wildlife magazine and award-winning photographer and outdoors writer, has put together another great fishing book with a simple, effective structure. The chapters lead you through the months of the year, with multiple pieces in each chapter that suggest specific species to catch that time of year and where you'll find them in the Natural State. Along the way, you'll pick up tidbits on under-publicized species (carp, drum, and gar, for example) and tips from Sutton's own experience and his network of friends and fisheries professionals who've fished the lakes and rivers mentioned from every angle. The writing is straightforward and takes on a conversational tone that makes you imagine a comfortable old friend is giving you some mighty fine fishing advice.

This review is from: Fishing Arkansas: A Year-Round Guide to Angling Adventures in the Natural St (P) (Paperback)
Fishing Arkansas: A Year-round Guide To Angling Adventures In The Natural State is a comprehensive, user friendly guide to the manifold opportunities that Arkansas has to offer licensed fishermen and state travelers in search of a good place to drop their line.

Enhanced with color photography, this superb guide includes twelve sections on popular game fish (including large and small mouth bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill, and trout); provides an introduction to often-overlooked species (bowfin, gar, carp, paddlefish, pickerel); offers hundreds of fishing tips gleaned from decades of on-the-water experience by dozens of guides, biologists, and expert anglers. If you are a fisherman living in, or just passing through, Arkansas, plan for your next angling venture by reading Keith Sutton's Fishing Arkansas!

Excellent book!, Feb 10 2007
By RobRoy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fishing Arkansas: A Year-Round Guide to Angling Adventures in the Natural St (P) (Paperback)
Really an excellent book, well written, fine photos, five stars. Essentially a collection of 50 articles, each about catching different species on different rivers and lakes in Arkansas, but so well written you don't need to live in Arkansas to enjoy it. Author describes some unusual fish and how to catch them, e.g., bowfin, padlefish, skipjack, gars, et al.
