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.

Excerpt from The Angler and the Loop-Rod But the distinctive features of the book are the prominence which it gives to the art of fishing with what may be styled the loop-rod and line, and the pre-eminence which it claims for such over the ordinary appliances of jointed-rod and reel. Not that these latter should be entirely discarded indeed, in certain circumstances they alone are admissible - but my experience of both has gone to show that, for the most part, in ordinary trout fishing, the loop-rod and line are immeasurably superior in everything that makes for skilful and successful angling.

Excerpt from Anglers and Muscleheads IN an age of specialists Captain Torn Gifford has conformed to the trend. There may be a few who have fished with him during his half-century as an offshore guide who will insist that this represents Tom's sole gesture toward anything remotely resembling conformity. Tom Gifford is a specialist in the broad field of big-game angling and is generally recognized as the number-one man in that field. He attained this stature as a result of his stubborn refusal to accept any angling practice until he had experimented with others. Many of the methods and practices and much of the most valuable equipment employed in big-game angling today can be attributed to his efforts. The offshore angler who is accustomed to an indifferent, bored, and routine-bound guide will be rather awed and per haps intimidated by Gifford's intense and concentrated attitude. Once outside the inlet or harbor his eyes are never still. They sweep constantly from the cockpit to the tackle, the angler, the sky, and the water. They note the activity of every bird.

The Compleat Angler, Izaak Walton's fishing classic, is a celebration of the art and spirit of fishing. Through prose, verse, song, and folklore, Walton inspires readers to go into nature -- to go to its meandering streams and rivers -- and fish. Walton teaches us about a life filled with harmony between nature, man, and God; and a life spent in the company of friends and free from the hustle of the city.
Excerpt from The Angler's Secret "... to those who feel like gentlemen and act like sportsmen." - Frank Forester. "The honest fisherman reflects that there is a good deal of cheer on the journey if it is made with a contented heart." - Rev. Henry Van Dyke. "It is not the number of fish he captures that makes the angler contented, for the true angler can enjoy, the mere casting of the fly if he has only an occasional fish to reward his efforts." - Random Casts.

Excerpt from An Open Creel Fishing is very like the other pursuits of men, com pact of ill and good, the good being, as we think, not too lavishly bestowed on some of us. The season of any given angler (i except those prodigious fellows who never have a blank, who think in dozens and stones, and who cannot but come to a bad piscatorial end) is a calculable affair. Of the total number of his days, probably two-thirds will give him no results worth mentioning. Three-quarters of the rest will be of the type conveniently labelled as fair to middling. And there may be two or three days of really fine sport, days about which he at once writes articles. An article or so may be written about days of the second class, but about those of the first there is a grim silence. Hence the number of fish in a book on fishing. Francis Francis, I believe, once dryly remarked to an ecstatic angler who was eloquent upon the beauties of nature and the unimportance of slaughter that it doubtless was so, but he himself had noticed a kind of prejudice in favour of a brace of fish in the creel. He was quite right, of course. We all go out to catch fish. Circumstances make it harder for us to do so year by year; there are more of us, and waters are no more numerous, less rather, while fish grow daily more experienced. Therefore we probably do not expect to catch so much as did our fathers, and the sort of day which they would have regarded as middling is received by us in humble thankfulness as a glorious occasion. The standard of expectation is decidedly lower than it used to be.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
