The McClane's Field Guide to Saltwater Fishes of North America (Paperback) by A. J. McClane is one of the most accomplished books on fish identification. This book has been compiled by the author keeping novice, anglers and the pro anglers in mind. The information regarding fish provided in this book is clear, concise, and contains full-color artistic renditions of most of the fish.

This books popularity can be gauged form the fact that it has been and is still being used by many anglers on fishing trips regardless of location. This book is a true field guide as the description provided in this book provides vital information, while remaining brief. In all there is a lot of information on a number of species and I would highly recommend this book to any angler or saltwater fish buff.
