An Original Angler's Handbook Still Relevant for Today's Fishing Trips

This deluxe unabridged reprint Legacy Edition of Samuel G. Camp's The Fine Art of Fishing is an excellent book for any fisher, outdoorsperson, or bushcrafter to have in their library. Originally published in 1911, Camp skillfully presents readers with dozens of historic but timely tips and tricks about technique and equipment for proper casting and rod use in a variety of contexts, including shore, boat, and fly fishing. Additionally, several individual species of fish and their sometimes finicky behaviors on coaxing them out of their hiding places are discussed.

This comprehensive vintage guidebook on fishing is a great read for beginner and expert fishers alike. Beginners will appreciate the timeless advice on equipment selection and care, including rod, reel, and fly selection. Both beginners and experts will appreciate discussions by the author on technique, including casting, fly-fishing tricks, and special techniques for individual species, such as trout, salmon, bass, pike, pickerel, and others. Experts will appreciate the historic value that this book offers by taking a glimpse into the past and seeing fishing during its simpler times before big fishing department stores and when you made your own flies, bait, and rods.

This vintage book includes timeless knowledge about fishing and camp life! Although this book represents thought from a former time, it also reveals much about the rich history of the angling sport, and many of the tips, tricks, and discussions are still relevant for study today!
