Preface

This book is written for the benefit of the man whose angling education, to his great misfortune, has been neglected, and who desires to acquire a knowledge of the most delightful, health-bringing and harmless recreation in existence.

The " old-timer " who knows it all will meet only plainly told, familiar facts.

Technical phrases and rhetorical pyrotechnics are studiously avoided, as they are of no use in the practical pursuit of catching fish.

The book means business — that's all.

The Author.

New York, March, 1892.
