The Art of Angling for Beginners

Paul Smith's "The Art of Angling for Beginners" is an introductory guide to fishing, containing a wealth of information that will be of considerable utility to the young or novice fisher. Written in simple, clear language and full of invaluable tips, this vintage guide is highly recommended for those looking to enter into the wonderful world of fishing, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Articles Requisite for Anglers", "Fishing Rods", "Lines", "Hooks", "Baits", "Ground-Baits", "The Bleak", "The Bream", "The Chub, or Chevin", "The Dace", "grayling", "Gudgeon", "The Minnow", "The Perch", "The Jack, or Pike", "The Pope, or Ruff", "The Roach", "The Tench", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
