Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Piscatorial Problems Idly Considered
We have at least no right to assume that they could not have dressed the most minute of loch flies with a perfection of finish that Mr. Halford himself might have envied, if they had so wished. Diagrams of the patterns of river flies used by them forbid the assumption. Why, then, were they content with rougher, larger, and, as we would consider them, coarser flies to fish the lochs?
The truth, I think, is to be found in the contrast between the older and newer habits of anglers themselves. Fifty years ago the holiday habit was not so firmly established as it is to-day, and I fancy that there were but few anglers in those earlier times who ever thought of going off on a three weeks' or a month's angling holiday.

Some Piscatorial Problems Idly Considered (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This captivating book explores the age-old art of fly fishing, delving into the complexities of entomology, local environment, and techniques. The author, a seasoned angler, challenges common assumptions and presents a wealth of insights gained through years of experience. One of the key themes revolves around the question of whether trout take artificial flies for natural insects or something else entirely. The author argues that trout are not as discerning as some believe, and that the most effective flies are not necessarily those that precisely imitate specific insects. Instead, success lies in understanding the broader factors that influence the trout's behavior, such as the time of year, water conditions, and the availability of natural food sources. The book explores the topic of fly size, shape, and color, providing practical guidance on how to select the most appropriate lures for different situations. The author discusses the evolution of fly design over time, from the crude patterns of the past to the sophisticated creations of today. Ultimately, this book is not just a collection of fishing tips but a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between angler and quarry. The author's insights into the nature of trout behavior and the art of deception make this a valuable read for any angler who seeks to elevate their skills and deepen their understanding of the sport. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
