How And Where To Fish In Ireland A Hand Guide For Anglers Classic Reprint

Excerpt from How and Where to Fish in Ireland a Hand-Guide for Anglers I had two ends in writing: one will have been served, if, by following my advice, my readers get sport - their success in fishing will be the measure of mine in writing. The other end is, that many kindly Englishmen may, in the pursuit of an enchanting sport, add to their too scant knowledge of my beautiful and unhappy country and its pure-hearted, sport-loving people.

Excerpt from How and Where to Fish in Ireland a Hand-Guide for Anglers As foreword to this edition, and to bring it "up to date," I must impress my readers that many things which prevailed, when I wrote first, no longer exist. There were then more fish, salmon and trout, and more free fishing for them. There are fewer fish, because of the selfish policy of those who draw nets in the lower waters, and because there has been no proportionate increase of keepers on the upper waters, though the upper riparian owners have now set themselves to deny free angling. To say exactly how far and where this is being done would require a tour of inquiry all over Ireland. This I am unequal to, but, so far as I could, I have supplied information about it. With regard to the first part I have made no change, though the advance in dry-fly fishing and the more general use of split-cane rods might suggest that there is now a somewhat old-fashioned air about what I wrote many years ago. To sum up, angling in Ireland is still good, but in general not so good nor so "free" as it was. The hotels, modes of travelling, and of accommodation are much better than of old and they improve and increase each season.
