Based on forty years' experience fishing for trout on the rivers Tweed and Clyde and their tributaries. David Webster fished "the loop rod", a 13 feet6 inches rod without a reel, but with a small loop at the end. To this was attached an 18-20 foot tapered horse-hair casting line and a 16-17 foot tapered "gut-line" or leader. He fished nine flies on a cast, on 2 inch detachable droppers; very sparse spider-patterns which he generally cast upstream. He also discusses other methods of fishing and includes chapters on grayling, pike and salmon. Illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of the author, 2 colour plates of salmon flies, 1 colour plate of trout flies, b&w plates of minnow-baits, diagrams of "angles at which to cast", and a b&w map. .
