Books About Urban Fishing

The weather this season has been challenging and its causing a delay in my carp fishing efforts.

I have learned that it's difficult to catch fish until water temperatures rise above 40 degrees.

I've used the extra time to do a little reading. 

I recently finished "A River Runs Through It". It's about fly fishing, but a lot of it applies to fishing in general. 

Here is a list of books about urban fishing:

  1. Fishing in the City: A Guide to Urban Fishing" by Melinda Allen: This book is a comprehensive guide to urban fishing, with tips on gear, techniques, and locations to fish in cities across the United States.


  1. "The Urban Angler: How to Catch Fish in Any City" by Alan Batt: This book offers practical advice for fishing in urban environments, including tips on selecting gear, finding fish, and dealing with obstacles such as pollution and crowds.


  1. "Urban Fishing: The Complete Guide to Fishing in Town" by Shaun Leonard: This book explores the history and culture of urban fishing, as well as providing tips and advice for anglers looking to fish in urban areas.


  1. "Urban Angling: Fishing the Streets, Rivers, and Canals of the World" by Ian Chillag and The World Fishing Network: This book features stories and photographs of urban anglers around the world, highlighting the unique challenges and rewards of fishing in cities.


  1. "Trout in the Desert: On Fly Fishing, Human Habits, and the Cold Waters of the Arid Southwest" by Matthew Dickerson: This book is not specifically about urban fishing, but it explores the intersection of human development and fishing in the arid Southwest, where water resources are scarce and often hotly contested. It offers insights into the challenges of fishing in urban and suburban environments where development has altered natural water systems.
