An Angler S Year

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Excerpt from An Angler's Year But this is only half-truth, and it must not be forgotten that the resiliency of a light rod is often permanently damaged by the use of a heavy tapered line, and that a light line will not bring out the full spring of a powerful rod.

Excerpt from An Angler's Year I refer rather to the men who constitute the backbone of the country, the busy workers with either hand or brain, or both, who tend the great machine which goes to keep our Empire in the forefront of the nations. To these men, angling comes as an engrossing recreation which, taken in small doses, tends to relieve the monotony and strain of modern existence. Such have but a limited time for the enjoyment of sport, and from that must be further subtracted the time taken up in reaching the scene of action and returning: therefore, the places that they fish must be easily accessible. The busy angler has but little leisure to search out waters for himself, learn new methods, or try strange lures; but little information on these points is given by the average book on angling, and can indeed be only learned in the first instance by experience. The experiences of others, no matter how limited in extent they may be, are always of some value as teachers, and indeed, as Sir Edward Grey says: - "Even a little imperfectly told becomes interesting, and weak words stir kindred memories." It is in the hope that this may prove the case that this little book is put forward, and the writer will be perfectly satisfied if it should, to some extent, meet the want for others which he has so often felt for himself. Most of the experiences given are records of single day's angling within easy rail of London. As a sporting centre the Metropolis would hardly be chosen by many - most of the great centres being more, or at least as, favourably situated in that respect. It has, however, been my fate to live in the great city, and therefore the localities described are within a moderate railway journey in the Southern, Eastern, or Western counties.
