Originally published in 1934, this book covers every phase of coarse fishing from A to Z and includes a chapter on Thames Trouting. Practised anglers will enjoy those features in this book which are quite new to angling literature, while the novice could not wish for a more complete yet concise and simple explanation of how any type of coarse fish may be captured. Packed full of practical advice and many, many detailed diagrams, this book is still of great practical use to today's angler.
