Ken Schultz’s travels have literally spanned the world and blanketed North America. So compiling Spectacular Fishing came from decades of first-hand experience in the lakes, streams, and oceans of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
A lavishly illustrated 224-page coffee-table book, Spectacular Fishing highlights 84 premier North American destinations that provide first-rate angling experiences. The sites were selected with an eye toward diversity in species, geography, angling techniques, accessibility, types of water, and even cultural experiences.
It features sites that have five-star lodges as well as sites requiring canoe and kayak floats with overnight camping. It features remote destinations where some of the most elusive and seldom-caught fish in the world exist. And it features places that are readily accessed by thousands of people each year in pursuit of common and popular gamefish.
The photographic support reflects this diversity as well. The text is enlivened by 229 large, rich, full-color photos – all taken by Ken Schultz – of a variety of situations, species, people, boats, and scenes, making for a lively, real, and visually stimulating book.
Also, there’s information about general access; local and regional contacts; prime angling times; gear needs; guide/tackle availability; accommodations and dining; and notable side-trip possibilities. Plus a condensed section, "Practical Advice for Traveling Anglers," in which Schultz uses his vast experience to counsel on such practical angling-travel topics as: pursuing trophy fish versus having lots of action; timing a visit to coincide with the best fishing; using a local fishing guide; checking out a boat; and how to deal with weather issues.
With such information, plus handsome color photos showing anglers enjoying their sport at each destination profiled, Spectacular Fishing lures its readers to make plans immediately for a fishing getaway. There are decades of trips-of-a-lifetime here, making this a superb holiday, birthday, anniversary, or Father’s Day gift book for any angler.
