Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dry Fly Fishing in Border Waters Good wine needs no bush, and any book about angling written in the keenly enthusiastic spirit of the following pages needs really no Introduction. We anglers all love one another, said Izaak Walton, truly. Like Free masons, we are brothers the world over; as ready to listen to each other's notions and experiences of the craft as we are to cast our flies upon the waters - the bread being in our baskets for the time. With anglers, talking shop is as dear as are the waterside pleasures of memory when the rod is resting and the season of retrospect has set in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dry-Fly Fishing Those who have been fishing the floating fly for many years may be surprised to learn how much misconception exists regarding their favourite method. It is still looked upon in many quarters as something mysterious, something demanding superlative skill and even erudition, something applicable only to certain waters whereas the fact is that it is as simple as it is deadly, and more generally useful than any other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dry Fly and Fast Water: Fishing With the Floating Fly on American Trout Streams, Together With Some, Observations on Fly Fishing in General To expound a theory into willing ears upon a trout stream is one thing; to put those same ideas into writing so that they may be intel ligently conveyed to one who reads them is quite a different thing. Of this I am convinced. However this may be, my readiness to do the one induced in some of my angling friends the belief that I could do the other. They insisted that I try - and this book is the result. My ex perience in preparing these pages has filled me with the profoundest respect for those persons who may be truthfully characterised as authors. I began the work with a good deal of timidity, and, as it now appears to me, considerable temerity. After completing the task to the best of my ability I submitted the manuscript to some of my credulous friends. Strange to say, after reading it, even then they insisted that I publish it. By this decision it seems to me they proved two things - their friendship for me and their absolute unfitness to be literary critics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Dry Fly Fishing and Salmon Fly Fishing This consists, in the first place, in the life-history of the salmon, from the time it is deposited as ova by the parent fish in the redd until it attains its full grown state. I have ventured, when dealing with this interesting matter, to introduce some original theories as regards those questions which are still a subject of controversy. In the second place, I have dealt with the different methods of casting, and by plates and diagrams have endeavoured to show the various casts for presenting the lure to the salmon, and explained the methods to be adopted when actually fishing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Dry Fly Fisching While our sporting instincts will be aroused by the difficulties and thrilled by the triumphs Of fly fishing, the artistic and poetic side of our temperament will be as strongly appealed to, and affected, by the surroundings Of the salmon rivers and trout streams on which our fly may be cast. The salmon river will inspire the soul with the strength and force Of its beauty, and invigorate the body with the health-giving scent Of its pine forests and heather; the trout stream will charm our mind, and lull our senses into delicious content, as we listen to the rippling note Of its liquid harmony and inhale the delicate perfume Of its thousand surrounding flowers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Fish the Dry Fly: Describing the Latest Up-to-Date Necessary Tackle, Its Cost, and Where to Get It and the Proper Method of Using It; A Description of the American and English Dry Flies; Also How to Fish Various Nymphs The dry fly has made rapid strides in the estimation of American trout fishermen during the last ten years, so that the new art is now widely known all over the continent, although it is not, as yet, practiced to any great extent, for the reason that method and special tools have not been fully described in a simple manner. I believe every thought ful trout angler wants to acquire the latest and best up-to date information about dry fly fishing so that he may learn to test his skill in this most satisfying branch in the art of angling. The object of this little booklet is to give a detailed, easily understood definition of the dry fly in compact form as a handy guide, to describe exclusively how the art may be practised on American streams with dry flies copied from native insects Without any reference whatever to methods used on British streams; this field has been so well covered, not only by eminent English writers, Halford and others, but also by two expert American anglers, Emlyn M. Gill and George M. L. La Branche, who have described their Views with great detail and compared the difference in the method pursued in England, as well as by themselves on our own Streams. If it is the readers' desire to go fur ther, and study the art more thoroughly from the British standpoint, they Should get Halford's books from England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fly-Fishing and Fly-Making: For Trout, Etc The formation of the eye of the fish does not materi ally differ, one species from another, among the angler's fishes. The cornea is somewhat flat in sectional outline, and the shape, or, so to speak, the ground plan, is virtu ally similar in save the European graylin g (s. Thymallus). The pupil of the eye of this fish is oval instead of ciren lar - the oval of the plover's egg rather than that of the hen, being sharper than a true oval at one end. The apex of this sharp end is pointed toward the upper part of the head, tailward, giving the fish a somewhat sinister appearance. What purpose this particular configuration serves I do not know, but one thing is certain The vis ual ability of the grayling is equal, if not superior, to that of the trout, as is proved by its rising, often from a great depth, to the fly. I notice, also, that the normal waiting position of this fish is inclined toward the water's surface instead of being horizontal, as is usually the case with trout. This being so, the greater mass of the rays of direct sunlight would fall on the forward part of the eye, and I offer it as a conjecture, based on the law of devel opment, that this, continued through generations, has evolved the peculiar shape. The graylin g of this country, though apparently similar in every other respect, does not exhibit the peculiarity referred to.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fly-Fishing in Salt and Fresh Water It is much more easy to obtain permission in Ireland, as the fishermen do not swarm there in such numbers as they do in Scotland. For one of the principal things to be attended to, in looking out for salmon-fishing, is to find a river where the salmon are numerous and the rods few for little sport can be expected where the water is daily flogged from morn ing till night without intermission. Before taking tickets, you should inquire the number of catches or salmon-stands, and whether the number of tickets is limited; or you may find twenty tickets granted to fish a water, where there may not be room for more than three rods.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fishing in American Waters: A New Edition, Containing Parts Six and Seven, on Southern and Miscellaneous Fishes As it might not be deemed kind in me to inflict upon the reader my thousand reasons for writing and illustrating this book with pencil sketches copied from life, 1 will therefore merely state that my experience of many years in the practice of the gentle art, which has led me through so many scenes of beauty and loveliness, has made me wish that all the world might learn the enjoyment conferred by the practice of angling. I have endeavored to portray the recreations of the angler in America, with his implements and his game; adding a small tribute to the temperate and industrious class of men who follow for a livelihood the hazardous business of fishing on the broad seas. An outline of the progress of fish-culture in Europe and America is also given, with pencil sketches illustrative of the art of hatching and rearing fishes, including stairs and fish-passes for enabling fishes to surmount mill-dams and falls. The fishes of om coast and estuaries, and the peculiar methods adopted for their capture, form not only a sealed book to Europeans, but to those anglers in America also who confine their recreations to fresh-water attractions. Each game fish affords a distinct interest, with peculiarities worth studying. My sketches may lack artistic finish, but possess the merit of correct outline; and in the words of Raphael, "The outline is the picture." The reader may be assured that fishing, whether for recreation or gain, entices its votaries to unexplored sources of revenue and pleasure.
