    I have found that video,s are a good tool and there are many on the market you might check local library for both.Also I would reccommend posting the body of water and speicies sought and this web site is really good for offering great tips

    About 20, 25 years ago I picked up a couple of books by Dan Gapen at a sports show. I think they helped me quite abit. ” River Fishing A Happy World” and “Creeks And Streams To Love and Remember” I think were the titles. You might check and see if they’re still in print.

    If you’re interested in the Gapen books, check with Gapen.com, looks like they are still available along with a few others

    I have a whole series of books from North American Fisherman that are very informative and interesting. Send me a PM and let me know where you are.

    i also reccomend Gapens books. I found “River fishing a happy world” at my univeristy library. By far the most entertaining book on fishing ive read. Those in-fisherman books are just so tedious and boring. Gapen puts some charm into his book. Ive been on the lookout for stream and creeks by him, but havent found it for borrow.

    The gapen books are pretty good, but I would put the in-fisherman books on top. They may be long or maybe boring to some but jam packed with proven fishing information.

    Better yet I would get their videos for exactly the species you are most interested. I have been trying to get the local bait shop to buy a bunch of these videos and them rent them out.
