Old Fishing Books

Free Old Fishing Books

A while ago I found an incredible source of old, and in some
cases very old fishing books so I have downloaded quite a collection. I thought it would be a good idea to share these files with you so I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have.

You can read it online or better still save a copy to your computer to read at your liesure.  This is legal as all of the books have no known or applicable copyright.  The books are freely available online and free for personal or non-profit use, please respect this.

I will over time keep adding to the books available (I have around 90) so keep checking back to see the latest additions.

To open a book simply click on the thumbnail, this will open the pdf file. Please note depending on the connection speed you have this could take a couple of minutes for the larger books, once opened it’s a as simple as clicking save to get a copy on your computer.
