Glad you got some "reel" answers. Never mind me. But watch that Orvis talk - might get all heated up if you're not careful! [pirate]
So I guess you've answered the question about whether you're after stories, or how-tos.
I've collected a number of instructional books, and species specific ones. Used books on Amazon can be a great deal. Spend more of shipping than the darned book!
I'd second the In-Fisherman, and North American fishing club, and Freshwater angler. Got books on catfish, crappie to bass, n-walleye. Then picked up some books on trolling, ice-fishing, even some fly-tying (I likes the pictures!)
Doesn't mean I know ANYTHING about catching! Maybe I should dig into more fiction. Lord knows we get enough of that with some of the fishing reports! [
