“Anglers” come in all shapes, sizes, and ages, and can find myriad places to practice their favorite sport. Are you one? You are if you’ve ever gone fishing. And with more than 34 million licensed anglers in the United States, it’s easy to see why fishing is our number one outdoor sport!

In H is for Hook: A Fishing Alphabet, seasoned angler Judy Young tackles topics such as types of lures, where to fish, and what equipment you will need, along with the basics of cleaning, filleting, and cooking your final catch. And since every fisherman loves to brag about the “one that got away,“ she includes suggestions on how to capture your fishing memories through journals and photography.

For anglers everywhere, reading H is for Hook is the next best thing to being at the end of a fishing pole waiting to land that big one.
