I have about 400 books on fishing, rod building and fly tying. Most are on fly fishing and fly tying. That sounds like a lot but it represents over 50 years of collecting. Also, many of the pattern books were obtained before there was so much available on the internet. I still enjoy reading and collecting them.

I have two grown sons but neither are that big into fishing, so I have instructed my family to donate all the books to a local library so others can enjoy them when I'm gone.
