A History of Fly Fishing for Trout (Classic Reprint) by John Waller Hills Pdf

Excerpt from A History of Fly Fishing for Trout From the Book of St. Albans onwards we part company with French books. There are no good ones until modern times, and these are founded on ours. Henceforth the stream runs on British soil, and it runs deep and full. But the debt which we owe to French literature must not be forgotten, a debt all the greater because it lies in the domain Of the spirit. The small amount Of fly fishing literature which does exist in France before the nineteenth century is described in Chapter IV.

Fly-Fishing and Fly-Making for Trout, Bass, Salmon, Etc (Classic Reprint) by John Harrington Keene Pdf

Excerpt from Fly-Fishing and Fly-Making for Trout, Bass, Salmon, Etc The formation of the eye of the fish does not materi ally difier, one species from another, among the angler's fishes. The cornea is somewhat flat in sectional outline, and the shape, or, so to speak, the ground plan, is virtu ally similar in save the European graylin g (s. Thymallus). The pupil of the eye of this fish is oval instead of ciren lar - the oval of the plover's egg rather than that of the hen, being sharper than a true oval at one end. The apex of this sharp end is pointed toward the upper part of the head, tailward, giving the fish a somewhat sinister appearance. What purpose this particular configuration serves I do not know, but one thing is certain The vis ual ability of the grayling is equal, if not superior, to that of the trout, as is proved by its rising, often from a great depth, to the fly. I notice, also, that the normal waiting position of this fish is inclined toward the water's surface instead of being horizontal, as is usually the case with trout. This being so, the greater mass of the rays of direct sunlight would fall on the forward part of the eye, and I offer it as a conjecture, based on the law of devel Opment, that this, continued through generations, has evolved the peculiar shape. The graylin g of this country, though apparently similar in every other respect, does not exhibit the peculiarity referred to.

Dry-Fly Fishing (Classic Reprint) by Robert Curry Bridgett Pdf

Excerpt from Dry-Fly Fishing Those who have been fishing the floating fly for many years may be surprised to learn how much misconception exists regarding their favourite method. It is still looked upon in many quarters as something mysterious, something demanding superlative skill and even erudition, something applicable only to certain waters whereas the fact is that it is as simple as it is deadly, and more generally useful than any other.

The Dry Fly and Fast Water by George M. L. La Branche Pdf

Excerpt from The Dry Fly and Fast Water: Fishing With the Floating Fly on American Trout Streams, Together With Some, Observations on Fly Fishing in General To expound a theory into willing ears upon a trout stream is one thing; to put those same ideas into writing so that they may be intel ligently conveyed to one who reads them is quite a different thing. Of this I am convinced. However this may be, my readiness to do the one induced in some of my angling friends the belief that I could do the other. They insisted that I try - and this book is the result. My ex perience in preparing these pages has filled me with the profoundest respect for those persons who may be truthfully characterised as authors. I began the work with a good deal of timidity, and, as it now appears to me, considerable temerity. After completing the task to the best of my ability I submitted the manuscript to some of my credulous friends. Strange to say, after reading it, even then they insisted that I publish it. By this decision it seems to me they proved two things - their friendship for me and their absolute unfitness to be literary critics.

The Science of Dry Fly Fishing and Salmon Fly Fishing (Classic Reprint) by Fred G. Shaw Pdf

Excerpt from The Science of Dry Fly Fishing and Salmon Fly Fishing This consists, in the first place, in the life-history of the salmon, from the time it is deposited as ova by the parent fish in the redd until it attains its full grown state. I have ventured, when dealing with this interesting matter, to introduce some original theories as regards those questions which are still a subject of controversy. In the second place, I have dealt with the different methods of casting, and by plates and diagrams have endeavoured to show the various casts for presenting the lure to the salmon, and explained the methods to be adopted when actually fishing.

American Trout-Stream Insects by Louis Rhead Pdf

Excerpt from American Trout-Stream Insects: A Guide to Angling Flies and Other Aquatic Insects Alluring to Trout The object of this book is to furnish anglers, amateurs, students of entomology, and others in terested in aquatic insects, with a colored selection of the most abundant and well-known trout insects that appear, month by month, on the rivers and lakes of the temperate regions of North America. Inquiries from various State entomologists failed to locate a single volume or treatise on trout-stream insects. Likewise, diligent search in libraries and large bookstores proved futile. This shows the present volume to be the first and only Work on this most necessary adjunct to the angler's craft. It is curious that While our Government documents re lating to pisciculture are equal to, if not in advance of, those of European countries, there, particularlxr in England and France, research in the field of entomology has kept pace with other branches of science.

A Concise Practical Treatise on Artificial Fly Fishing for Trout (Classic Reprint) by Grey Drake Pdf

Excerpt from A Concise Practical Treatise on Artificial Fly Fishing for Trout I prefer the spring cog-check wheel, which, when the line is lengthened or shortened, makes a noise like that caused by winding up a clock. By this reel the line may be lengthened or shortened with sufficient rapidity, and with precisely, and no more. Than the proper resistance, the checks preventing the line running out too fast. This reel is, I think, far preferable to the multiplying reel, which is very liable to get out of order. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
