Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practical Angler Another of our tasks was the preparation of ingredients for ren dering the baits more enticing to the fish, though I believe, after reading several receipts, and trying to prepare some of the pre scriptions, a small piece of camphor put into the moss with the worms was all that was ever actually carried into e 'ect. Then we were to have a small box with gimblet holes bored in it, in which a quantity of worms were to be placed, and when this box was sunk (a stone being put in it for the purpose) the worms, as a for lorn hope to escape drowning, it was supposed would crawl out through the holes, and so entice all the fish in the neighbourhood to the spot; to our certain benefit, as to their just as certain de struction. The worms also had to be dug (for we did not then even presume to think of y fishing) and kept in moss, which was to be managed to the very letter according to the directions laid down in Walton.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Angler's Guide: The Most Complete and Practical Ever Written It must be known also, that there are numbers of Anglers who very seldom catch any fish. The Author could give many rather laughable instances; one only must suffice. He had been, upon one occasion, fishing for roach in the West India Dock, and on leav ing was overtaken by a party who had been fishing there too. They asked him if he had had any sport; he said, Yes, and held up his handkerchief, in which his bag of fish was tied. One of the party just took it from his hand to feel its weight, and holding it up in the air, said to one of his companions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Practical Angler: A Complete Guide to Fly-Fishing, Bottom-Fishing, Trolling I have arrived at conclusions not only differing widely from hitherto received canons, but which, if accepted, will go far to revolutionize, in the direction of simplifying, the whole system both of making and using artificial flies. The question of tackle, also, has for many years occupied much of my attention; and the details of this subject - especially as regards hooks - are entered into with a minuteness which may perhaps seem to re quire apology. The apology is, that the whole art of angling consists really of an aggregation of minutiae, and that upon the difference between, say, a hook of one pattern and a hook of another, often depends, in effect, the difference between a good and a bad day's sport. The present opportunity is taken of submitting to the judgment of anglers a new pattern of hook, con structed on mechanical principles, and the result of some thought and experiment.

Download or read book Angler Classic Reprint written by Izaak Walton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Izaak Walton's The Complete Angler is primarily a guide to fly fishing, however it is much more than just a fishing book. Within the pages of this text, the art of fishing is beautifully accompanied by poems, folklore and interesting anecdotes. Walton paints the picture of what it truly is to enjoy fishing - never claiming to be a master on the subject but encouraging the reader to embrace the sport wholeheartedly. Since its first publication in 1653, the book has been continually in print and is admired for inspiring the fisherman to love fishing for the sake of fishing. The Complete Angler is not only a definitive work on the subject of fishing but also an archaic example of the popular pastime. A brilliant read not only for the avid angler but also for those looking to glimpse through a window into a bygone era. It is still a highly relevant book but also a lovely piece of work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Angler Notes at the foot of the page are a horrible nuisance, distracting the attention of the reader to the greatest degree. It therefore seemed better to lump them together at the end of each chapter in the shape of an appendix, and the reader can please himself whether he refers to them or not. If he only desires to read the prose-poetry of the text, he can skip the chapters in smaller type and if he turns to the book for practical directions, he can look at the appendices only. The arrangement, therefore, is this: A chapter of the text, and then an appendix containing, first, Historical Notes, chie y from Hawkins, and referred to by the smaller letters in the text; secondly, General Nola by the Editor, referred to by numerals and third, a Praclz'cal Essay by the Editor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Caution to Anglers: Or 'the Practical Angler', And 'the Modern Practical Amgler' Compared That Mr. Pennell should write a book, whether he had any information to impart or not, is a matter of which no one can complain. That he should call that book, however, by a title so similar to mine, my publishers complained of to his, and requested them to alter it, as the similarity or title might lead to purchasers getting the one book when they wished the other. As they declined to do this, and I am afraid that, in spite of the discovery of a previous Practical Angler, any confusion in this way might be chiefly detrimental to The Practical Angler which goes by my name, I publish this pamphlet - portions of which have already appeared in the Field - to show that the simi larity is almost entirely confined to the title, and that no two systems of fly-fishing could be more different than those advocated in The Practical Angler, and The Modern Practical Angler.
