  In this book of practical information and advice, the authors are as familiar with the history of fishing tackle as they are with modern developments in fish biology. Every item is derived from their own first-hand angling experience. Throughout the book there are frequent quotations from angling literature, ancient and modern, chosen for the value of the ideas expressed. Part 1 covers the fish, and part 2 the rigs, tackles and methods that can be used for their capture. The emphasis is on British species and methods, but there is also reference to American ideas applicable in this country.
