# This is a very basic introduction to coarse fishing, spinning and fly fishing for school children, by Roger Pierce. "Written specially for the beginner, the book gives basic instructions on the various methods of fishing, describing each method in detail and using straightforward drawings and diagrams to make the instructions clear. The methods described also employ the minimum of tackle, so that the beginner can find out whether he or she really enjoys the sport before spending a lot of money on expensive equipment."
