Fly fishing is a method of angling whereby an artificial "fly" is used to catch fish, while worm fishing refers to fishing using a live worm as bait. This vintage volume contains a beginner-friendly guide to both styles of fishing, concentrating on the catching of salmonidae including salmon, trout, and grayling. Contents include: "General Observations", "The System of Artificial Flies", "Brown Trout", "Artificial Fly-fishing in Rivers and Lakes", "River Fly-fishing", "How to Fish", "Casting", "Working the Dropper", "Trout Drop-flies", "Knot for Fastening Reel Lines to Casting Lines", "Striking and Playing", "When to Fish", "Where to Fish", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
