About this book

This vintage book contains a fantastic guide to fishing, focusing on where, how, and what to fish for.

Contents include: "Why We Fish", "Mid April Showers", "The May-Fly", "In Summer Evenings", "Among the Falling Leaves", "Method and Methods", "Within a Day from London Town", "On Houghton Water", "In East Anglia", "Over the Border", "Here and There", "Other Fly-Taking Fish", "Ground-feeding Fish", etc. Containing a wealth of timeless information on the subject, "Fishing and Fishers" is not to be missed by keen anglers and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature.
