Angling Talks - Being the Winter Talks on Summer Pastimes - Contributed to the Forest and Stream George Dawson

First published in 1837, "Angling Talks" contains an assortment of articles and discussions on various topics related to fishing. It includes chapters on some of the more common fish, as well as information on where and how they can be caught, different equipment, techniques, notable anglers, and much more. This fascinating and informative volume will appeal to anglers new and old, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage fishing literature. Contents include: "Simple Wise Men", "About Bass", "About grayling", "A Memory", "Reminiscences", "About Some Distinguished Anglers of Our Time", "About Salmon Fishing", "Salmon And Sea Trout Haunts and Habits", "Several Relevant Topics", "The Game Laws-Angling Mishaps-Sea and Brook Trout", "Odds and Ends", 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.
