Description
Everything a young angler needs to know as they set out on their first day fishing.
This comprehensive handbook contains a wealth of information for the young angler and lays out, step-by-step, everything they might need to know on their first fishing trip.
Fully illustrated throughout, My First Day Fishing covers everything from tackle to ties, rods to rigs, and from knots to hooks to baits, lures, and flies! It also includes a fish-identification guide, together with advice on how to care for your catch.
BBC presenter and fishing expert Will Millard is the perfect guide to accompany young anglers on their first day fishing as he blends detailed information with plain good advice - and some amusing anecdotes along the way (including his first ever catch - made with a welly boot after he fell in a river!).
The book is packed with kid-friendly tips and tricks and helps readers - whether in the country or the city - to 'think like a fish' as they learn the watercraft of reading a river, pond, or canal, how to find the best spots to fish, and how to cast for the catch of their dreams.
This book is the perfect guide to fishing and so much more besides - and is sure to instil a love of angling among young readers aged 7+.
- Step-by-step instructions for the complete beginner on everything from creating your rig to casting out - and caring for your catch!
- Fully illustrated spreads throughout packed with useful diagrams and stunning scenes
- Advice on catching everything from a microfish to a huge pike!
- Techniques for fishing in different water environments, including streams, ponds, lakes, fast-flowing rivers, and canals
- Includes a foreword from angling legend Jeremy Wade
