The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes - Fishing - Salmon and TroutPaperback, 25 August 2010

This vintage contains the trout and salmon fishing edition of "The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes" series, penned by H. Cholmondeley-Pennell. Containing a number of detailed articles written by the master sportsman, this volume is highly recommended for modern fishing enthusiasts, and would make for a great addition to collections of sporting literature. Contents include: "A Chapter on Tackle and Fishing Gear", "Natural History of British Salmonidae", "Salmon-Fishing with the Fly", "Fly-Fishing for Trout and Grayling; or 'Fine and Far Off'", "Chalk-Stream Fishing with the Dry Fly", "Spinning and Bait-Fishing for Salmon and Trout", "The Grayling, and Bait-Fishing", etcetera. Many vintage texts such as this - particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before - are increasingly hard to come by and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
