This antiquarian text contains a comprehensive treatise on trout fishing, being a practical exposition of the lure and lore of fishing for trout. Full of interesting and practicable information, as well as being profusely illustrated, this text, although old, will be of much utility to the modern angler, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of fishing literature. The chapters of this book include: 'The Way of a Trout', 'Food for Fish', 'Naturals and Artificial', 'Drys and Wets', 'Past and Present', 'Materials', 'To Tie a Fly', 'Patterns and Reflections', and 'Cause and Effect'. Many vintage works such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable modern edition complete with a new introduction on the history of fishing.
