SOME PUBLICATIONS ON GAME-FISH AND SPORT FISHING

This list includes some of the more recent and better known publications on fishes, fishing and fishing equipment. It would be impossible to provide a complete list on this subject.

The Fish and Wildlife Service does not recommend any particular books on fishing, guarantee any statement made in any of the books listed, or have any of them for sale or distribution (except a few Government publications as listed). Prices are not quoted since these may vary among dealers, and from time to time.

Certain out of print publications, avai lable only as reference from libraries or owners, are designated by an asterisk.
