Angling Holidays in Pursuit of Salmon, Trout and Pike C W Gedney

First published in 1896, this volume contains a record of the author's vast and various experiences fishing for pike, trout, and salmon in the British Isles. Described by the author as a "gossipy record of a sportsman's experiences", this informal and intimate collection of accounts offer the reader much in the way of useful information pertaining to angling, and as such will appeal to those with an interest in fishing for pleasure or for profit. Including expert tips and insights, "Angling Holidays in Pursuit of Salmon, Trout and Pike" will appeal to anglers new and old, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection of fishing literature. Contents include: "Dovedale Trout and Trent Salmon", "On the Atlantic Coast", "Some Irish Adventures and Experiences", "Dry Fly Fishing and Other Things", "Gwendore, co. Dongal", "Autumn Norfolk Trouting", "The Bann At Coleraine", "The Bann at Kilrea", "The River Shannon", "The River Darenth", "May-Fly on Darenth", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
