Book of the Black Bass

Legendary fly fishing expert J. A. Henshall's Book of Black Bass belongs on every angler's bookshelf. There are nearly 180 pages devoted to the biology of the black basses known at the time. In Part Second, Henshall focuses on the fishing tackle necessary for successful black bass fishing. Henshall himself was a leading reel collector when his book was published, and his chapters on fishing reels and their development are often quoted and valued by tackle collectors today. The Part Third, as Henshall named it, is focused on the various fishing techniques to be used in black bass fishing, including fly fishing. Exquisitely illustrated with highly accessible tips for the novice and expert alike, this volume is a classic!
