Chalmers' lyric pen on salmon fishing. Delightful anecdote and a little verse. "How rarely it is that we come across a man who, having made a lifelong study of a thing, can write about it with the most gifted of pens. Mr. Patrick R. Chalmers is one of these lucky people; for not only has he been acclaimed (by one of the most influential journalists of our times) as one of the most brilliant writers on field sports to-day, but he has been a salmon fisher all his life. Indeed it might be said that he was bred to the river; in this book he tells how as a small boy he watched his father catching salmon on one of those red-letter days which occur all too rarely. He has caught salmon in many rivers and under many conditions, and his adventures comprise a world of experience from which every man who wields a salmon rod can cull hints and instruction." Chapters include: Catechist and catechumen; The making of the pup; Pools and pupils; The fish in play; The game and the gaff; Mainly with a spinning-rod; In letters of red; The practical prawn; A little about worms and some other things; Unorthodox; Pearls; Bad moments and a fate that went too far; The Linn of Logie; A river of Damascus and an autumn fish; Some episodes in the life of a salmon; The gillie; Taking a river and tickling a trout; Epicists and others; In the kitchen with one in fifty thousand; Amaryllis and a little moonshine. .
