Excerpt from Fishcraft; A Treatise on Fresh Water Fish and Fishing: With Comments on the Haunts and Characteristics of the Principal Game Fishes and Food Fishes, Modes of Angling for Them, Suitable Tackle, Etc<br><br>It may be well to explain, by way of brief introduction, in presenting this little brochure on fresh water fish and fishing to the attention of American anglers, that it is not the purpose of the author and publishers to rival any of the excellent works heretofore published on this subject, nor to attempt giving anything in the nature of a thorough treatise covering all the many angles and points of interest concerning the art, and the various species of the finny family which are pursued for sport. Able as well as entertaining authors, from the time of good old Izaak Walton down to the present day, have done justice to the subject, not only as to the art of angling and the denizens of brook, river and lake, but also with reference to each of the game fishes, individually.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
