Title: Author and name of the fishing book series?
Post by: Long_Cast on September 16, 2013, 08:17:04 PM
Does anyone here remember the name of the author who wrote a series of BC Fishing books with REALLY funny cartoon style pictures that were published back in the early 1980's.

The books were small in size too, the size of a Archie comic book, but the information was extremely helpful, especially for BC salmon and trout fishing.
