Inhaltsangabe

The Angler and the Loop-Rod is a book written by David Webster and originally published in 1885. The book is a comprehensive guide to fishing with a loop-rod, which was a new type of fishing rod at the time of publication. The loop-rod was designed to allow anglers to cast their lines further and with more accuracy than traditional fishing rods. The book covers a wide range of topics related to fishing with a loop-rod, including the history of the loop-rod, how to choose the right rod for your needs, casting techniques, and the various types of fish that can be caught using this method. Webster also provides detailed instructions on how to tie different types of fishing knots, as well as tips on how to select the best bait and lures for different types of fish.In addition to the practical aspects of fishing with a loop-rod, The Angler and the Loop-Rod also includes several chapters on the philosophy of fishing. Webster discusses the importance of patience, observation, and respect for the natural world when fishing, and he emphasizes the importance of preserving fish populations for future generations.Overall, The Angler and the Loop-Rod is a classic work of angling literature that provides valuable insights into the history and practice of fishing with a loop-rod. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of angling, as well as for those who appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

Preface. and fullest treatment; and although one would suppose that surely nothing remained to be said on this well-worn theme, it is believed that several facts of importance, especially in regard to the influence of the wind on the success of the sport, appear here for the first time. Into the list of flies I have admitted only those which, from close observation and actual trial, I have proved to be most worthy of the anglers regard. All of them, with the exception of the sand-fly (which attains its maturity in the sand and gravel at the side of the water), are hatched in the bed of the stream, and constitute the ready and natural food of the fish. The remarks under this head are more particularly applicable to the Clyde and the Tweed; still I believe they will hold good for all rivers and streams in this country, for the common natural flies are found more or less on all alike, and differ merely in the times of their development.
