My Fishing Days and Fishing Ways (2)
J. W. Martin
J.W. Martin was one of the greatest anglers and writers of the late nineteenth century. 'The Trent Otter', as he was known, wrote and published many books covering most angling disciplines, but My Fishing Days and Fishing Ways was without doubt, his finest.
'This book does not pretend to be a guide to fishing . . . but in its pages I take you into my confidence and talk to you as one old fisherman talks to his mates, telling you what I saw on the various waters, the fish I found, how I succeeded and how I failed.' J. W. Martin, September 1906
Contents:
I Introductory Remarks, II The Roach Fisherman of the Fens, III Bush Fishing for Perch (on the Witham), IV Trouting in a Tiny Brook (Nottinghamshire Greet), V A Winter's Day Down on the Lower Trent, VI The Lower Trent (Piscatorially and Historically Considered), VII A Christmas Day (Winter Chub Fishing), VIII A New Year's Bag (the Great Ouse), IX Days Among the Barbel (Trent, Thames and Kennet), X With the Chub, and a Fly Rod, XI Eddy and Stream (Cadbaits and Wasp-grubs During Early Summer), XII Pikey Days and Pikey Ways, XIII The Postman's Knock (Dibbling with Insects, Alive and Dead), XIV Days and Nights with the Bream, XV By Lake and Mere (Rudd, Carp and Tench), XVI Concerning Roach, XVII A Mixed Basket
Illustrated by Paul Cook.
