Présentation de l'éditeur
Every reader who takes up this little volume is certain to be more or less familiar with the animal which we know as a fish. But this familiarity will have been acquired through many channels, varying with the individual. One will have much to tell of anglers lore, of knowledge gained by long hours of silent watching and waiting, ruminating on the mysteries of Nature, and perfecting deep-laid plots to snare her scaly children. He will talk with animation of a well-filled creel, and recount wondrous tales of mighty fish lost when capture seemed a certainty; fish whose shades grow larger each time the memory revives them, just as their solid selves have doubtless been doing ever since, making their capture less and less likely as they gain in bulk. This must be so, for fish such as loom so large in these stories never seem to be landed! He will regale us with delicious word pictures of stream and lake and sea, and curious facts of the ways and customs of fish of all kinds, and of all lands. A nother will have much that is worth knowing to tell, concerning fish as a food supply, and of tlie industries connected therewith, of which enough might be said to fill another book of the size of this little volume. Yet others could add curious facts gained in our various fish-hatcheries, or facts encrusted but too often by painful memories of days of peril and exposure encountered in that great arena, where men war with Nature, and take from her as by force the deep sea-fisheries.
