The Practical Angler
Or the Art of Trout-Fishing More Particularly Applied to Clear Water (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Practical Angler: Or the Art of Trout-Fishing More Particularly Applied to Clear Water<br><br>Most anglers meet with fair success when the waters are dark coloured; but when the waters are clear they find poor sport. This is mainly due to an erroneous system of fishing, which angling works already published have done little to remove, and which, though its effects were not so observable fifty years ago, when drainage was less extensively in operation, and when the streams continued large and discoloured for some time, is not at all adapted for the small clear waters of the present day. It is with the view of showing how almost, if not quite, as good sport may be had in clear water as in coloured, that we have undertaken to add another to the numerous volumes already existing upon this very popular amusement.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
