By Anonymous

Iola, Wis.—More than 34 million Americans fish, according to a recent report by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Anglers remain dedicated to their sport as demonstrated in 2001 by spending $36 billion on equipment, transportation, lodging and other related expenses. A new reference edited by Dennis Thornton creates a single source for anglers when planning their fishing excursions. “Fishing Digest” catalogs the latest gear, tackle and equipment, along with charters and state-by-state listing of licenses and rules. Top fishing experts contribute information-packed articles on hot fishing topics and successful tips and techniques.

Published by Krause Publications, “Fishing Digest” begins with articles on saltwater gear and techniques, new fishing tackle, how to choose a fishing boat and tying flies. The next two chapters offer articles on fishing in Canada, the Great Lakes, Rocky Mountains, Honduras and Belize, as well as an interview with B.A.S.S. founder Ray Scott and articles on ice fishing, recipes and collectible lures. The actual catalog begins in the fourth chapter and lists equipment manufacturers, guides, charters, books, magazines, World and North American records, license rules and fees, fishing organizations and a web site directory. Article contributors include Milt Rosko, C. Boyd Pfeiffer, Tom Gruenwald, Mark Romanack and Dan Donarski.

Thornton is a book editor at Krause Publications, having also edited “Gambler’s Digest.” The digest series published by Krause Publications includes “Fishing Digest,” “Gambler’s Digest” and “Camping Digest.”
