Excerpt from Angling for Pike
The size of the volume will not, I trust, be taken as an indication that the subject is not fully treated. If the space at my disposal had been three times as great, the amount of information given could not have been appreciably greater. All the reader has lost is a large number of fish stories of doubtful veracity, and lengthy theoretical disquisitions on tackle. Happy reader, that my space is limited!
Many pieces of tackle will be found illustrated and described which are new and unknown to the majority of anglers, but the best of the older and well-tried tackles are also included. A thing is not necessarily good because it is new; but I believe most of the novelties described will, after a careful trial, be deemed real improvements on much that has gone before. A considerable experience of pike and pike-fishing has led me to the conclusion that it is easier to get a pike to take a bait than to hook and keep him hooked after he has seized it. It is doubtless on this account that writers on angling have given such an important position to the subject of tackle, and sometimes have, in consequence, rather neglected equally important questions as to finding the pike and angling for him.
I have derived but little benefit, while working on this book.
