Handbook of Angling - Teaching Fly-Fishing, Trolling, Bottom-Fishing and Salmon-Fishing

'A Handbook of Angling' contains a detailed, illustrated guide to fishing, covering fly-fishing, trolling, bottom-fishing, salmon-fishing, and more. Accessible and beginner-friendly, it is essentially a guide to the natural history of river fish and the best ways to catch them, and sure to be of utility to anglers new and old. Contents include: 'Angling Defined', 'Divided into Three Branches', 'Into Fly-fishing, Trolling, and Bottom-Fishing', 'Each Briefly Described', The Superiority and Merits of Fly-fishing', 'Throwing the Line and Flies', 'Humouring Them', 'Fishing a Stream', etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with that in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
