With simple directions and a wealth of invaluable tips, this volume is ideal for the novice, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of vintage sporting literature. Contents include: “Fresh-Water Trout”, “Angler's Equipment”, “Artificial Fly-Fishing”, “Flies, Fly-Dressing, Etc.”, “On Angling with the Worm”, “May-Fly Fishing”, “Minnow and Parr-Tail Fishing”, “Loch Fishing” “Application”, “Opinions of the Press”, “Blackwood's Magazine”. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on fishing. |
