Anglers nowadays travel further and practise more skills than ever before.

The man who once was content to fish his local water all the year will now indulge in an occasional week-end of sea angling. It is likely that in the season he will find a reservoir or stream near enough for him to enjoy a day or two catching trout. And some shark fishing, possibly, in his summer holiday, and he has become something of an all-round angler. He may then start dreaming of catching salmon in a Scottish river or owning his own dinghy.

This is a book for the actual or aspiring all-rounder. All forms of angling are discussed in their various aspects. Specialists in different fields pass on the knowledge acquired in their practical experience.

Rods and tackle
