About This Book

The author blends natural‑history explanation and hands‑on angling instruction, surveying game fishes of the northern states and neighboring provinces and providing focused accounts of salmon and sea‑trout fisheries. Chapters treat fish classification, tackle, rods and reels, and step‑by‑step directions for tying artificial flies, while expanded sections examine fish propagation, emerging fish‑culture techniques, and advocacy for fisheries management. Field anecdotes and observational notes illustrate seasonal habits and practical methods for stream and sea fishing, and appendices and indexes offer additional reference material.
