Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, originally published in 1889, is an early guide to fishing in the waters near Philadelphia, as far as 100 miles away. It provides details on the best places to fish, when to fish, and what bait and tackle to use. In a time when angling was just beginning to emerge as a popular pastime, this guide was a significant contribution, capturing the excitement of the sport and sharing the author's joy of fishing. It offers a snapshot of the types of fish found in the region, such as perch, bass, and striped bass, and describes the habits of these species, how to find them, and what they will bite on. The author also includes important information on the fishing laws of the time and advocates for the protection of fish populations. This book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the development of fishing as a sport in the Philadelphia area and the efforts to conserve fish populations in the late 19th century.
