The Secrets of Angling

First published in 1885, “The Secrets of Angling” is a vintage guide to fishing, concentrating on river fishing and course fish. Comprehensive and illustrated throughout, this timeless guide contains a wealth of invaluable information and tips from an expert, making it ideal for anyone with a practical interest in fishing. Contents include: “The Rod”, “Single-handed Rod”, “Releasing Fixed Joints”, “Fastenings for Joints”, “Landing a Rod Instead of a Fish”, “Single Versus Double-Handed Rods”, “Varnish for Rods”, “Winches”, “Improved Multiplier”, “Double Multiplier”, “Reel-Lines”, “Natural Characters of the Trout”, “Trout-parr, to Distinguish from Salmon-Parr”, “Average Size of Trout”, “Sex of, to Distinguish”, “Sense of Smell in Fish”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
