"The Art of Trout Fishing" is a collection of vintage articles on the trout, being a complete handbook on the trout with chaters on identifying, fishing, breeding, and more. Although old, these essays contains a wealth of timeless, practical information that will be of considerable utility to modern readers with an interest in angling for or breeding trout. Contents include: "The Trout (Salmo Trutta): Classification", "The Breeding of Trout", "How to Make a Trout Farm", "Fishing with the Floating Fly", "Fishing with the Float Fly: Patterns of Flies", "Fishing with the Floating Fly: The Rod and Tackle", "Fishing with the Floating Fly: Throwing the Fly", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
