About this title

Synopsis

Delight in the curious world of fish and fishing, with practical notes and entertaining anecdotes.

In Anecdotes of Fish and Fishing, Thomas Boosey gathers engaging reflections on fish, their bodies, senses, and the habits of anglers. The volume blends accessible science with entertaining vignettes, drawing on classic natural history and practical fishing lore to illuminate how fish live and how we fish for them. This edition compiles observations on British fishes, notable overseas rivers, and broader curiosities, offering a clear, readable look at a long tradition of angling and observation.

Readers will encounter concise explanations of fish anatomy, discussions of hearing and smell in fish, and a sampler of remarkable tales—from eel and lamprey lore to charming anecdotes about fish as pets and their surprising behaviors. The book aims to please both curious readers and anglers seeking a deeper appreciation of their craft, without relying on technical jargon or speculation beyond the historical record.

• Plain explanations of fish structure, senses, and movement.
• Fresh and historical anecdotes about British and foreign rivers.
• Short notes on practical fishing ideas and fish behaviour.
• A mix of biographical glimpses and general curiosities that enrich the sport.

Ideal for readers of classic piscatorial writing and anyone who enjoys a thoughtful, accessible look at fish and fishing.
