Publisher's Synopsis
"Flies and Fly Fishing for Trout" was written in 1873, more than 140 years ago. We are republishing this extremely rare gem in its original form, so as to retain its period charm. This book makes the perfect gift for any avid fly-fisherman. It covers a vast range of subjects including Scarcity of Trout, Increase of Fisherman, Pollution of Rivers, How Often to Cast Over a Fish, Lake Fishing, Night Fishing, to name a few, and also features entire chapters on Grasshopper Fishing, Tackle, and How to Tie a Fly. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some characters, illustrations and images might suffer from slight imperfections, blurring or minor shadows in the page background. This book appears exactly as it did when it was first published.
