The Scientific Angler - Being a General and Instructive Work on Artistic Angling David Foster

"The Scientific Angler" is a vintage guide to fishing that takes a more scientific approach to the ancient sport and pastime than many other similar books. Including detailed explanations and expert tips, this profusely-illustrated volume will be of considerable utility to anglers new and old, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "The Habits and Haunts of Fish", "The Habits and Haunts of Fish (continued)", "Bottom Fishing", " Bottom Fishing (continued)", "Pike Fishing", "Spinning for Trout", "Worm Fishing for Trout", "Piscatorial Entomology", "On Fly Making", "Fly Fishing for Trout and Grayling", "Notes on the Months for Fly Fishing", "Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with that in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
