Angling Sketches is a collection of essays written by Scottish author and journalist Andrew Lang, originally published in 1895. The book is a charming and witty account of Lang's experiences as an angler, covering everything from his favorite fishing spots to his thoughts on the ethics of the sport. Lang writes about his adventures in Scotland, England, and France, and shares his observations on the natural world, the people he meets, and the fish he catches. The book is filled with beautiful descriptions of rivers, lakes, and countryside, as well as Lang's reflections on the joys and frustrations of fishing. Angling Sketches is a classic of angling literature, and a must-read for anyone who loves fishing or the great outdoors.There is something mysterious in loch-fishing, in the tastes and habits of the fish which inhabit the innumerable lakes and tarns of Scotland. It is not always easy to account either for their presence or their absence, for their numbers or scarcity, their eagerness to take or their dourness. For example, there is Loch Borlan, close to the well-known little inn of Alt-na-geal-gach in Sutherland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
