Our goal is to publish books that are not only informative (handbooks on rods and tackle, directions on how to angle for different kinds of fish, and guides of various sorts), but also books that capture the gentle fascinations of the sport, the attractions of living out-of-doors, the beauties of stream and lake, the recollections of happy adventure, and the cheerful thoughts that make the best of a day's luck.

eFishingBooks isn't just about publishing and selling books, but also about promoting a lifestyle—the contemplative man's recreation—in print, on the web, and of course, on the water.

To these ends, we've endeavored to make this site more than just an advertisement for the company by building tools and including information like:

The Fishing Forums where you can trade fish tales, discuss favorite books, make new friends and interact with people across the globe that have the same passion as you.

Don't forget to check out our FREE Electronic Fishing Books—a collection of mostly classic fishing texts for you to read, download, and enjoy. We have a deep passion not only for books and fishing but also the rich tradition of literature that it has spawned.

Classic Fly Tying—Ever wonder about the evolution of fly tying? What types of flies would your great, great, great grandfather have tied and fished with? If you're curious about the history of fly tying, then this is the place for you.

Not to be missed: The Fly Tying Database—get a new pattern, submit one of your own original creations for inclusion in an upcoming book, or Tie a Fly and Win a Prize.

Looking for a hard-to-find book? Check out our Guide to Used, Rare, and Out-of-Print Books.

And, most importantly, please check back often! Every month you'll find new free eBooks, additions to the Classic Fly Tying section, giveaways, more information, companionship, and yes, some books to buy.

Tight Lines,
