A propos de cet article

Fun with Trout (Trout Fishing In Words, Paint & Lines) by Fred Everett is a profusely illustrated book devoted to the sport of trout fishing, combining practical instruction, outdoor observations, and humorous reflections on angling. Written for both experienced fishermen and newcomers to the pastime, the book explores the habits, environments, and behavior of trout while presenting techniques designed to improve success on the water. The author approaches the subject with enthusiasm, emphasizing the enjoyment of fishing as much as the pursuit of catching fish. The book discusses trout habitats in streams, rivers, and lakes, explaining how water conditions, weather patterns, seasonal changes, and insect activity influence fish behavior. Readers are introduced to methods for locating trout, selecting appropriate tackle, and understanding the natural food sources that attract fish. Considerable attention is given to fly fishing, including artificial flies, casting methods, presentation, and the relationship between aquatic insects and successful angling. Illustrations and anecdotes are used throughout the text to bring fishing situations to life. The author highlights the value of observation, patience, and respect for the outdoors, encouraging anglers to develop a deeper appreciation for the natural environment. Stories from fishing trips and encounters on the water help demonstrate practical lessons while capturing the recreational spirit of the sport. Beyond technical instruction, the book celebrates the culture and traditions associated with trout fishing. It presents angling as a lifelong outdoor activity that combines skill, relaxation, challenge, and conservation awareness. By blending education and entertainment, the work provides a broad introduction to trout fishing while emphasizing enjoyment, sportsmanship, and an enduring connection to rivers, streams, and wild fish. There is a strong possibility that the inscription and artwork belonged to Alexander Nes Warner (1886-1957) of Titusville, Pennsylvania. Several facts line up remarkably well: Alexander Nes Warner was born and lived in Titusville, Pennsylvania, and remained one of the city's most prominent residents for decades. He was an independent oil producer and longtime president of the Warner-Caldwell Oil Company. The company history specifically identifies a founder named Alex N. Warner, confirming that he commonly used that abbreviated form of his name. He lived in Titusville and was deeply involved in local civic organizations, the hospital, YMCA, and Chamber of Commerce. Since the book itself is dated 1952 and Alexander Nes Warner was alive, residing in Titusville, and known locally as "Alex N. Warner" at that time, the evidence makes him a plausible match. What makes this particularly interesting is that Fun with Trout is a fishing title, and affluent oilmen, sportsmen, and conservation-minded outdoorsmen were often the target audience for such books in the 1950s. That is not proof of ownership, but it fits the profile. THIS copy has some normal foxing and some unfortunate moisture damage, but as can be seen in the photos, is still quite enjoyable. Original mylar DJ is intact but needs a good cleaning. Hard cover edition. 287 pages. Dimensions: 4.25" by 7". Published by The Stackpole Co., Harrisburg, PA. 1st printing, 1952. Red binding. Page defect(s): Some writing. Light foxing. Some creasing/wrinkling. Some damp-staining or slight water damage. 3 Pound Media Mail Rate. Combine items and SAVE!
