Angling; Or, How To Angle And Where To Go by Robert Blakey. This 1862 manual blends historical reflections on rod-fishing with practical instruction across tackle, baits, and flies, and provides systematic guidance on catching salmon, trout, pike, greyling, perch, carp, tench, barbel, roach, gudgeon, dace, eels, and other freshwater fishes. It covers the making and care of gear, including rods, lines, floats, hooks, reels, and the construction of artificial flies, as well as methods of ground-bait and trolling. The book also discusses laws and regulations for taking fish, and presents an extensive section on where to go, listing England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and Continental states with dozens of fishing stations and routes. Interwoven are anecdotes and poetry about the angler's life, the species and habitats, and the landscapes that surround the sport. A comprehensive reference for 19th-century anglers, it emphasizes patience, practice, and a contemplative outdoor spirit.
