Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive guide to the gentle art of angling provides angling's history, philosophy, and techniques in an accessible and entertaining manner. The author posits that anglingâs pleasure comes not solely from deception, but from dissimulation, leaving anglers to mimic the natural movements of the fly to prevent detection rather than directly imitating any particular insect. This detailed work also covers proper angling equipment, including rod and line selection, and the use of various bait and tackle. Readers will also find a guide to aquatic insects, including the critical information that flies used for bait typically bear little resemblance to real insects. The author emphasizes perseverance, the use of flies that differ from those proven successful on the river, and frequent casting as the keys to success. This book, a hybrid of theory and practice, provides a thorough understanding of angling while also imparting a philosophy of nature and the importance of conservation. The depth of the authorâs research and knowledge of angling both as a sport and an art form make this a must-have for anglers of all experience levels and will encourage deep engagement with angling as both practice and philosophy.
