Excerpt from Freshwater Fishing in Great Britain Other Than Trout or Salmon
It may perhaps be well at this point to consider why it is that the modern rodster is apparently attached so much to this particular branch Of the sport. The answer is, that it is at once the prettiest and most skilful branch Of angling in the world, as well as that which is most easily attainable; and to see such men at work on the Lea as Hackett, Bates, Da Costa, or my Old friend Tom Hughes, whose Show Of fish at this exhibition is second to none, in their particular style, or Theaker or Bailey upon the Trent, is to see one branch at least of the true poetry and craft of angling.
