This vintage book contains a practical book on the popular fresh-water game fish, with information on the tackle necessary and how to properly use it. This book was written with a view to make the sport of fishing more enjoyable and the quest for game fins more successful for the lover of the great outdoors and the follower of nature's water trails. Written in simple, clear language and full of invaluable hints and practical information, this text is ideal for the beginner, and will also be of utility to those with more experience. The chapters of this book include: 'Bait-Casting Outfit for the Beginner', 'Bait-Casting for the Beginner', 'Split-Bamboo Bait-Casting', 'Steel Bait-Casting Rods and Others', 'The Bait-Casting Rods and Others', 'The Bait-Casting Reel', 'Self-Thumbers vs. Backlashes', et cetera. We are republishing this antiquarian book now complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.

In writing this book of fish, fishing, tackle and how to use it, as well as incidental remarks on equipment it is not the intention of the writer to set it up on a pinnacle as a hollier than thou book. Opinions on tackle and the method of using it are varied and at times wonderful. There are purists in every angle of the sport and by each method of angling the purist in that particular line will swear by the nine gods and at times swear at all other methods. I have never allied myself to any one particular part of angling. I can have equally as much enjoyment from tossing the plug, live bait or feathery fly. As long as it is fishing in a sportsman-like manner with line, rod and reel and playing the fish until it comes up to the net or gaff, white-side up, I consider the game true sport and worthy of just consideration. As to the methods of angling and the handling of tackle advocated herein, they are the methods that I have found to be successful from actual experiences of my own or from the experiences of other fishermen with whom I have cast and whipped lake and stream.
