Description
Excerpt from Barbel Chub Fishing: Being a Practical Treatise on Angling With Float and Ledger in Still Water and Stream; Including a Few Remarks on Surface Fishing for Chub; A Working Man Angler's Experiences; Written Expressly for the Benefit of His Brethren of the Craft
I have divided the book into two seperate parts. Making each one complete in itself z - rst, Barbe]; and and, Chub giving details of the outfits, the tackle, the ground-baits; and the hook baits. Each one separate and distinct from he others. I also most carefully note the difference between stream fishing and still water fishing, giving the proper seasons of the year in which to use certain baits, and also the state of the water, when it is proper to try them. I had an idea that if these fish were treated at length from a working-man's point Of view, the remarks would be gladly welcomed by my fellow working-men. Six out of every ten do not care for the scientific aspect of the affair; they want to know more about the capture of the fish, than what class they would occupy in a naturalist's museum.
