About This Book

The work is a practical angling manual that compiles hands-on instruction and experiments for catching fish in rivers and ponds. It opens with guidance on selecting and making tools, then surveys methods such as fly fishing, artificial flies, and ground or bottom angling. Detailed sections describe suitable baits for various species, techniques for preparing and preserving bait, tackle arrangements, and seasonal and behavioral considerations. Practical tips, observational notes, and step-by-step procedures aim to improve the reader's technique, judgment, and care of equipment.

BY COL. ROBERT VENABLES.

“I have read and practised by many books of this kind, formerly made public; from which, although I received much advantage, yet without prejudice to their worthy Authors, I could never find in them that height of judgment and reason, manifested in this, as I may call it, Epitome of Angling.”
