Fishing: Observations of a Reel Man

Fishing is a wonderful way to build relationships, enjoy nature, and experience personal renewal. And during the trip, you might even catch a few fish!

According to the book of Genesis, the Lord said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness," and in the very next phrase, He added, "and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea" (Genesis 1:26). So I suppose it's obvious that we were made to fish!

Fishing is more than something to do on the weekend - fishing is a frame of mind. It builds relationships, encourages an appreciation for nature, and brings personal renewal. Drawing on personal experience, stories from Church leaders, and the scriptures, John Bytheway shares observations of a "reel man" with a generous dose of humor.

This beautiful gift book features dozens of full-color photographs and shares fishing experiences from latter-day prophets such as Wilford Woodruff, George Albert Smith, Gordon B. Hinckley, and Thomas S. Monson. In addition, you’ll find insightful and humorous quotations, and even scriptures about fish and fishermen.

If you can't get out to the lake today, sit back relax, and read Fishing. You'll be hooked.
