Angling; Or, How To Angle, And Where To Go by Robert Blakey. This edition provides a comprehensive, practical manual on the art and pastime of angling. It traces the ancient origins of the rod-fishing, surveys tackle, lines, hooks, floats, nets, and the making of artificial flies, and then offers detailed guidance on techniques for salmon, trout, pike, greylings, perch, carp, tench, roach, gudgeon, dace, eel, and other fish. The book is divided into sections on how to angle, on tackle and bait, and on the construction of flies, with extensive advice on gear selection, casting, and river-reading skills. It then moves to travel and practice, presenting England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and continental states as fishing destinations, and including a chapter on laws and preservation. The tone blends practical instruction with literary travelogue, anecdotes, and natural history, aiming to elevate angling from mere sport to a healthful, reflective pursuit and social pastime for beginners and seasoned anglers alike.
