The Complete Angler is a must-read for anyone interested in the sport of fishing, as well as for those who appreciate classic literature.Trust me, Sir, there is not a likely place for a Trout hereabout: and we staid so long to take our leave of your huntsmen this morning, that the sun is got so high, and shines so clear, that I will not undertake the catching of a Trout till evening. And though a Chub be, by you and many others, reckoned the worst of fish, yet you shall see I'll make it a good fish by dressing it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
