Description

First published in 1885, this vintage book contains a fantastic guide to fishing for Salmon. Salmon is the name for several species of ray-finned fish in the family Salmonidae, which also includes trout, char, grayling and whitefish. Within this volume, the author presents a complete guide to the subject, with chapters on equipment, seasonal considerations, habit and habitat, fishing with flies, and even salmon farming. Contents include: "On Hooks, Tackle, and Fishing Gear", "Natural History of British Salmonidae", "Salmon-fishing with the Fly", "Chalk-stream Fishing with the Dry Fly, and May-fly Fishing", "Spinning and Bait Fishing for Salmon and Trout", "The Grayling, and Bait-fishing", "Salmon and Trout Culture", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this 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.
