Excerpt from The Modern Practical Angler: A Complete Guide to Fly-Fishing, Bottom-Fishing, TrollingI have arrived at conclusions not only differing widely from hitherto received canons, but which, if accepted, will go far to revolutionize, in the direction of simplifying, the whole system both of making and using artificial ¿ies.The question of tackle, also, has for many years occupied ~much of my attention, and the details of this subject - especially as regards hooks - are entered into with a minuteness which may perhaps seem to re quire apology. The apology is, that the whole art of angling consists really of an aggregation of minutiae, and that upon the difference between, say, a hook of one pattern and a hook of another, often depends, in effect, the difference between a good and a bad day's sport.The present opportunity is taken of submitting to the judgment of anglers a new pattern of hook, con structed on mechanical principles, and the result of some thought and experiment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
