This handy little volume contains a concise guide to fly-fishing for chub and dace, with information on necessary equipment, various methods of catching these fish, comments on common problems, practical and useful hints, and much more. Written in simple, clear language and including all the information needed for catching these fish, this volume is a must-read for novice anglers, and it would makes for a great addition to collections of allied literature. The chapters of this book include: 'The Outfit', 'The Rod', 'The Gut Cast', 'Casting the Line', 'The Chub and Dace', 'Fine and Far Off', 'The Pleasures of Angling', et cetera. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly expensive and rare, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern edition with a new introduction on the history of fishing.
