The Brook Trout and the Determined Angler by Charles Barker Bradford.
This delightful book was first published in the U.S.A. in 1900 and is
now extremely scarce in its original edition. Read Country Books have
now re-published it using the text and illustrations from the first
edition. The author was a well-known fisherman and a prolific sporting
writer who contributed many articles to the American field sports press
of that era. This book is a collection of some of the best of these. Its
72 pages contain chapters on: - Fly Fishing for Trout. - Trout Truths. -
Trout and Trouting. - Trouting in Canadensis Valley. - In the Pocono
Mountains. - The Trouter's Outfit. - Little Casts. (trouting tips). -
Tackle Talks. - Borrowed Thoughts. Etc. All of these are illustrated by
full page black and white illustrations and photos and a number of small
pen and ink sketches. This early fishing book can be recommended for
inclusion in the library of all dedicated anglers. "A little pocket
volume containing several descriptions of a fly fisher's paradise, and a
few practical suggestions for the young angler." Many of the earliest
sporting books, particularly those dating back to the 1800s, are now
extremely scarce and very expensive. Read Country Books are republishing
these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork.
