About This Book

A collection of essays and reminiscences by an old angler that traces a lifetime spent at rivers, reservoirs, and clubrooms. The pieces interweave practical instruction in methods like fly-fishing with lively anecdotes of travel and membership in fishing societies, alongside close observations of seasons, insect life, and waterside nature. Short sketches vary from humorous episodes and personal memoir to reflective pieces on outdoor habits and journalistic encounters, assembling previously published material into a cohesive, elegiac portrait of angling practice and the pleasures of the water’s edge.
