Book Description

Excerpt from The Angler's Complete Guide and Companion The following pages have been written with a view of setting plainly and succinctly before anglers the chief and best styles of tackle of the day, and the methods of their use. As will be seen, each appliance is carefully illustrated; and my object has been, throughout, to clearly impart what a lengthened experience, as a tackle manufacturer, has taught me of the requirements of anglers in respect of their outfit. The plates of coloured flies have been executed under my direct supervision, the colouring in each case, has been laid on by hand. Though the expense of the work has, necessarily, been very great, I am confident that its value will be readily appreciated. As indicated on page 35, the 76 coloured illustrations are published in a separate durable form for the convenience of the angler.
