The
Great Minnesota Fish Book
by Tom Dickson
Hardcover from Univ Of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 0816651353
Fishing is one of Minnesota's
consummate pastimes. The North Star state boasts the highest number of
anglers per capita in the nation and the most fishing lakes. Minnesota
is abundant in knowledge about how to catch game fish, but there is little
information on the lore and natural history of such prized species as the
walleye and largemouth bass, not to mention lesser-known varieties such
as the brook stickleback and pirate perch. From trophies to bait, The
Great Minnesota Fish Book tells stories of these aquatic species in
rich, colorful detail.
The Great Minnesota Fish Book pairs engaging and revealing stories
about the history, habitat, and culture of more than one hundred species
with strikingly lifelike depictions by world-renowned fish illustrator
Joseph R. Tomelleri. Providing defining features for easy identification,
descriptions of habitat, growth patterns, and behavior, as well as historical
anecdotes, Dickson makes a convincing case for the appreciation of all
fish and their important place within Minnesota's aquatic ecosystems. Where
else can you learn about the American eel, a fish that lives throughout
southern Minnesota yet spawns in the Caribbean Sea? Or the Johnny darter,
which reproduces upside down? Or the monstrous lake sturgeon that can reach
more than 300 pounds and swims in waters from Lake of the Woods to the
Mississippi River? Nowhere, until now. Tom Dickson takes us on a lively
tour of Minnesota fish--the good, the bad, and the ugly.
An elegant full-color work for everyone from the passionate angler
to the up-north cabin dweller, The Great Minnesota Fish Book conveys
the love and fascination--and in the case of eelpout, the disdain--that
people have for the fishes of our home state. |

Fishing
Minnesota: Angling with the Experts in the Land of 10,000 Lakes
by Greg Breining
Paperback from Univ Of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 0816641765
Fishing is more than catching fish. It is travel, nature, adventure,
friendships, and discovery. In Fishing Minnesota, Greg Breining tags along
with expert anglers and reports what they have spent years learning. He
fishes for Lake Superior steelhead with Shawn Perich, small-stream smallmouth
bass with Tim Holschlag, stream trout with Jay Bunke, and north-country
muskies with Mark Windels. Along the way, Breining comes to understand
not only how they catch fish, but why they go to the trouble.
Nowhere else will you find a comprehensive how-to guide for fishing
Minnesota's many lakes and streams, full of tips from the region's best
tournament anglers, most experienced fisheries biologists, and never-fail
professional guides. Breining shares their secrets on such topics as how
to snell a yarn fly, where to find the biggest muskies in any lake, and
how to pick the best minnows for Mille Lacs. Breining gives us that coveted
experience of being in the boat with the pros.
Greg Breining is the managing editor of the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer
and the author of many books, including Wild Shore (Minnesota, ), Minnesota
(), and Return of the Eagle (). He lives in St. Paul. |

A
Hard-Water World: Ice Fishing and Why We Do It
by Greg Breining
Hardcover from Minnesota Historical Society Press
ISBN: 0873516249
To the uninitiated, ice fishing
seems improbable, wacky, and dangerous. But every winter, more than 2 million
hardy northerners go to their place on the lake: literally on the lake.
Striking storytelling photographs by Layne Kennedy and engaging essays
by outdoor writer and fisherman Greg Breining capture the quirky world
of ice fishing-its natural beauty and solitary subzero vigils, along with
its oddball practices and practitioners.
Kennedy and Breining take readers to fun-filled if bizarre festivals
that include "Guys on Ice" in Door County, Wisconsin, and the supremely
self-mocking International Eelpout Festival on Minnesota's Leech Lake,
which honors a slimy, potbellied, finny critter. Photos offer peeks inside
ice houses that range from a plastic-bag cocoon to an impossibly luxurious
Adirondacks ice residence with front porch and wet bar. Travel to a frozen
lake in the Boundary Waters, to ice cities that form and disband overnight,
and to the Volga River near Moscow, shadowed by the KGB.
Most importantly, A Hard-Water World allows the reader to enjoy
the beauty, wonder, and, yes, insanity of ice fishing in the comfort of
home.
Layne Kennedy's photographs have been published in National
Geographic Traveler, Sports Illustrated, Life, Newsweek, Smithsonian, and
other magazines. Greg Breining writes frequently about the outdoors
for national magazines and newspapers. |

Fishing
for Buffalo: A Guide to the Pursuit and Cuisine of Carp, Suckers, Eelpout,
Gar, and Other Rough Fish
by Rob Buffler, Tom Dickson
Paperback from Univ Of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 081666532X
Is a carpsucker a carp or a
sucker? Where can you find the largest eelpout in the United States? Can
you catch creek chubs and fry them for supper?
These questions and more are answered within the pages of Fishing
for Buffalo. Rob Buffler and Tom Dickson dispel myths and rumors about
rough fish with credible biological information while also demonstrating
the joy of angling for nontraditional fish. The wealth of information within
qualifies this book as a fishing bible for the growing number of rough
fishing enthusiasts in the United States and makes it easy to identify
the rough fish you may catch. It even includes a sampling of Dickson and
Buffler's favorite recipes, such as Burbot Boulangère and Deviled
Grilled Cisco.
Rough fish may be a lot of things--ugly, unruly, or elusive--but they
are definitely not boring. |

parody a hit among many anglers." Recommended for "an easily amused fishing
buddy."-Sacramento Bee |
