The Fishes of the Pacific Coast (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Fishes of the Pacific Coast

HE object of this little volume is to present to stu dents, schools, colleges, anglers, fishermen, tour ists and seekers after piscatorial information in gen eral a series of pictures of Pacific Coast game fish, mainly photographed alive and in their natural habitat. In a word, the attempt is to have the pictures tell their own story. To this is added a brief account of the fish, its food, habits, companions, season, value, how it is caught, when, where and how; a little book which will slip into the pocket, yet tell all that it is desirable to know, offhand, enabling the angler or student to recognize at once the fish he has caught or sees in the market, and find its name.

Several pictures are included, showing the fishing grounds on various parts of the Pacific Coast, from San Francisco, Monterey, or Del Monte, to the Coronados.
