Fishing: A Pathifinder for Manoa Public Lilbrary

Fishing is not only the most popular, but probably the oldest pastime pursued by man. Part of its appeal is how easily anyone can learn to fish. It is also a family sport which can provide hours of fun for all ages, especially in Hawaii.

If you are in need of information about fishing (types of fish, where to fish, how to cook what you catch) this will help you to get started.

All the resources presented in this guide are available at the Manoa Public Library for your fishing interests.
