Excerpt from An Amateur Angler's Days in Dove Dale: Or How I Spent My Three Weeks Holiday, July 24-Aug, 14Before I had thrown a dozen times, a man in velveteens turned up, and asked for my license; having satisfied him, and rewarded him besides for his kindness in demanding my passport to The Dove, he asked to see my flies. He pronounced them splendid - deadly; with such flies I may be sure of getting back to The Izaak Walton 'with a fine dish for dinner.Thus encouraged I started afresh, and not forgetting the injunction of my piscatorial Cromwell to keep my flies dry - wet fly fishing being exploded - I began to thrash The Dove.How to keep your flies dry in a torrent of rain, and whilst throwing on the water, was a problem which puzzled me a good deal. The way to do it, I was told, was to swing the line backwards and forwards constantly, and then to drop your fly gently on the top of the water, and let him sail quietly down, looking as like nature as possible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...to carry me to see But I am now beginning to think I can enjoy all such pleasures as these without encumbering myself with a fishing-rod, basket, and net, and uselessly whipping the stream.1 When I first thought of fly-fishing as a holiday amusement, my imagination had pictured to myself a walk by the side of a sweetly-flowing stream on a lovely summer's evening, when one had only to cast one's flies over the water and draw out the simple trout and grayling till one's basket required the aid of a strong boy to carry it. That was the sort of thing I looked for in fly-fishing.

I recollect a very fine amphitheatre, surrounded with hills, covered with woods, and walks neatly formed round the side of a rocky steep, on the quarter next the house, with recesses under projections of rock, overshadowed with trees; in one of which recesses, we were told, Congreve wrote his 'Old Bachelor.'"--Bosivelts Life ofJohnson. 1 "I always consider the mere act of fishing as a secondary consideration. I connect with it the enjoyment of the country, the song of birds, the beauty of the day, the refreshment of mind, and the calmness of thought which these bring with them."--Jesse's Rambles. venomous insects, my fingers lacerated, and coat and trousers torn by my own hooks! how, weary and footsore, with my angelic temper tried to the utmost, I have returned to my hotel! All these things, friendly reader, thou already knowest. Recollections such as these, I am bound to...
