The Modern Angler is a comprehensive handbook on fishing including everything an angler needs to know about his chosen sport. Based on more than thirty years experience, this timeless volume will be of considerable utility to anyone with a practical interest in fishing and would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Part one deals primarily with fly fishing and how to make artificial flies; while part two concentrates on the fish, and how, where, and when they can be caught. Contents include: Modern Angler, A Few Remarks on Fly-fishing, and the Materials that are Requisite for Making Artificial Flies, The Best Methods of Making Flies, Description of the Different Flies, and the Wings and Dubbing of Each, On the Palmer Worms, the Method of Dubbing, and the Different Seasons When to Use Them, Description of Natural Fly-Fishing and the Flies Most Suitable for General Use; Together with a Few Hints to be Observed in the Art of Angling, Description of Baits most Killing for Trout, and the Best Method of Using them Both in Middle and Bottom Fishing, A Few Remarks on Baits - Where to be Found - And How to be Preserved, and A Short Account of the Principle Rivers in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
