| Publisher Description: This antiquarian work contains a detailed and comprehensive guide to fishing with hook and line, first published in 1884. Although old, much of the information contained herein is timeless, and will be of as much utility to the modern angler as it was to those contemporary with its original publication. For each fish treated within this text, information is given as to the methods for catching it, as well as descriptions of the fish and other useful information. The chapters of this book include: 'What Time is Best to Angle', 'In What Weather to Angle In', 'To Take the Salmon', 'For the Trout', 'For the Grayling', 'For the Barbyll', 'The Carpe', 'The Cheuyn', 'The Breame', 'The Tench', 'To Take Perch', 'The Roche', 'The Dace', et cetera. This text was first published in 1884, and is being republished now with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing. |
