&quote;A Handbook of Angling&quote; 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: &quote;Angling Defined&quote;, &quote;Divided into Three Branches&quote;, &quote;Into Fly-fishing, Trolling, and Bottom-Fishing&quote;, &quote;Each Briefly Described&quote;, The Superiority and Merits of Fly-fishing&quote;, &quote;Throwing the Line and Flies&quote;, &quote;Humouring Them&quote;, &quote;Fishing a Stream&quote;, 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.
