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.
