Synopsis

This vintage work contains a comprehensive guide to fly fishing and spinning, being a scientific treatment of the subject with 152 illustrations. The subjects discussed within this book will be of interest to the fisherman and will be of assistance to those who, owing to lack of opportunity, are neither experienced nor skilful. It was chiefly written especially for those who are thinking of taking up the sport, but it also includes a wealth of information that will be of interest to the more experienced angler as well. The chapters of this book include: 'Fly Fishing for Trout'; 'A Day's Coaching on a Trout Steam'; 'Water insects and the Rise'; 'The Sense of Trout and How they Affect the Fisherman'; 'Pisciculture and the Natural History of Trout'; 'Wet Fly Fishing', 'Spinning', 'Knots', 'Weeds', and 'General Information', et cetera. This volume was first published in 1915, and is being republished now complete with a new, specially commissioned introduction on the history of fishing.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In writing this book the author has endeavoured to confine his text entirely to subjects that he thinks will interest every fisherman and be of assistance to those who, owing to lack of opportunity, are neither experienced nor skilful. Even when he has ventured to express his opinion on controversial subjects he hopes that his views will cause offence to none. The average fisherman may not want to know how to build a rod but he certainly wishes to know how to select one and how to use it. He may not want to make his own flies but he certainly desires to know what flies to get and when and how to use them. He does not want to make his fishing line what he wants is to know how to extend it and how to preserve its usefulness. If it be desirable and necessary to obtain help in order to become a proficient fly fisherman, the author admits the great advantages of personal tuition when it is obtainable. But, on the other hand, he is confident that, by explaining in simple language the science of casting and fishing with the fly or minnow, in similar terms to those which he uses when teaching the student personally, he can help the reader to acquire, by careful attention, a success which will well repay him for his trouble.
