I love this book!!!First, I am new to fishing...so I was looking for a general book on Michigan fish, as well as some general fishing knowledge. This book has both, and is very well written.It's also waterproof and made of very high-quality material.5/5!Update 11/7/11Still love this book, if nothing, it makes a good bathroom reader :)
This is a decent guide with nice waterproof pages. It is also the only Michigan Fish Guide available but it is sadly lacking in several areas. I received this as a gift from my wish list and was pretty happy until I got into it in depth.. which it doesn't have.The cover boast from minnows to muskies and that is the first ldeception. The muskie section points out one of many flaws since it lists only two species while the Michigan Master Angler List has three distinct species. I turned to this guide to try and sort out the difference between the Great Lakes Muskie (GLM) and the Northern Muskie and the Tiger Muskie since I fish a lake with all three species .There is no mention of the GLM at all. This piqued my curiosity as I wondered how a Michigan biologist would not only miss this but 5 other fish listed in the Michigan Master Angler Awards. When I read Bosanko's background of 30 years as a biologist in Minnesota my next suspicion was..this is probably a knock off of a similar book he wrote for Minnesota.!! Right on, couple of clicks and there it is,, almost an identical cover as well. So this is a basic book which as a minimum you would think would list examples of at least the Master Angler award list which it does not.sadly this is as close as a definitive guide for michigan fishes I have found but I am still searching. hopefully if there is a reprint it will be better.
Excellent book, great images and information. Not complete for ALL Mi species, but close enough for most general sportspersons and nature enthusiasts. Not scientific level, but very well put together.
Not only is this book pocket-sized, but the pages are water-resistant also. This field guide classifies fish based on looks (salmon, catfish, minnow, etc.) and includes a silouette of the family, so you can quickly see if your fish in-hand has 2 adipose fins, a spikey dorsal fin, etc. The illustration of the fish along with look-alikes is on one page, with a description, key features, location, and interesting facts on the opposite page.My only negative is that the text doesn't indicate if the species is native or introduced. It does for some, but not all. I find it interesting that quite a few game fish have been introduced into the fishery, and it's neat to know which species those are. Particularly if it was a long time ago, to the point where even knowledgable anglers aren't sure if they are native or not.
Purchased this as a gift for someone moving onto an inland lake. they plan on fishing there. really loved this book as a guide for their fishing experiences.
Waterproof pages, small and compact and a great variety of fishes defined. My husband enjoys fishing so I bought this for him. I would recommend to others!
Husband loved it and makes a great book to have on boat when fishing with the kids and grandkids to help them identify species and learn!
Purchased for my son's college course. He liked it so much he decided to keep it rather then resell, as he does his other college books.
