Pleasures of Angling - With Rod and Reel for Trout and Salmon George Dawson

"Pleasures of Angling - With Rod and Reel for Trout and Salmon" is a fantastic and comprehensive guide to fishing for salmonidae, with chapters on a vast array of topics ranging from preparation and equipment to preservation, sustainable fishing, regulations, the habits and habitats of fish, and much more. Contents include: "Prefatory and Apologetic", "Angling as a Lasting Pleasure", "The Higher and Lower Branches of Angling", "Preparation, Anticipation and Recollection", "Angling and Anglers Vindicated", "Not all of Fishing to Fish", "Love of Angling no Proof of Sanctification", "Unselfish Courtesy", etc. With useful illustrations and expert tips, this volume will be of considerable utility to anglers new and old, and it is not to be missed by the discerning collector of angling literature. 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.
