About this title

Synopsis

The North Country Angler; Or The Art Of Angling: As Practised In The Northern Counties Of Englandis a practical guide to angling in northern England, originally published in 1817. This edition details a wide range of gear, techniques, and bait, organized into chapters covering everything from crafting fishing rods and lines to preparing flies, worms, and other tackle. It describes various fishing methods—fly, minnow, grub, and night fishing—along with specialized approaches for bank, stream, and flood conditions. The author provides meticulous instructions on making lines from horsehair, twisting snoods, constructing a fish-landing net, and assembling a compact pocket-book for on-the-spot use. Additionally, the text discusses the habits and spawning of various fish, including trout, salmon, pinks, and eels, while offering numerous practical tips and anecdotes to enhance success on northern waters.
