Excerpt from Favorite Fish and Fishing North, and of our own Dr. Bethune and Thaddeus Norris, could they revisit the glimpses of the moon, would View with wonder and silent sorrow the tendency of many anglers of the present day toward strenuosity, abandoning the verdure-clad stream, with its warbling birds and fra grant blossoms, for the hissing steam launch and Vile-smelling motor boat in pursuit of leaping tuna and silver king. It goes with out saying, however, that considered as a sport, fishing for these jumbos is highly exciting and capable of infusing unbounded enthusiasm, but it can hardly be called anghng.

Excerpt from The Fine Art of Fishing While the Eastern brook trout is undoubtedly in coloration the most beautiful of all game fishes, in for mation, especially as regards very large trout of, say, three pounds or over, its position is not so clearly first. The male trout of this weight, however finely marked with var ious tints of blue, crimson, and gold, tends dangerously to aldermanic girth and, with his usual under-shot and cruel lower jaw, is rather a creature to respect for gameness and fighting-blood than to admire artistically. The quality of coloration in the brook trout, too, is dependent to a great extent upon the immediate sur roundings affected by the fish. That this is a matter Of protective coloration should go Without gainsaying. In very dark waters, well shaded and with muddy or dark ly colored bottom, the brook trout is sympathetically Of subdued coloration, sometimes almost black - a very dark purple. On the other hand, in clear streams run ning over white gravel or pebbly beds, the trout are lightly tinted and Often have a golden luster or sheen that is unequaled for beauty. The wise men tell us that variation Of color in brook trout is caused by the light acting through the nerves of the eye upon certain color glands. It is also dependent to a certain extent upon the natural food most common to the stream, trout which have an abundance of insect food being the most brilliant in coloration as well as the largest.

Excerpt from The Book of Fish and Fishing: A Complete Compendium of Practical Advice to Guide Those Who Angle for All Fishes in Fresh and Salt Water I believe we are on the verge of a revolution, both as to breeding and stocking, not only by the various States, but by private individuals who will take up fish culture as a commercial enter prise; while more advanced methods of taking fishes will be employed by means of better tackle and an intelligent use of it.

Excerpt from Routledge's Handbook of Fishing: With Illustrations The fins of fish consist of thin elastic membrane, supported by bony rays, and are denominated according to their position - dorsal on the back, pectoral on the breast, central near the vent, anal that between the vent and the tail, and caudal the tail fins. The dorsal and ventral fins appear to balance the fish, and the pectoral to push it forward; while the tail fins are the grand instruments of motion, and enable the creature to dart forward almost as rapidly as the bullet from a gun.

Excerpt from Notes on Fish and Fishing "Gentle" Reader - or, as probably I may call you, "Brother Angler" - and you, too, gentle or ungentle critic, as the case may be, please take the trouble to ran through these few introductory lines. Nothing is more unfair to an author than to read or "dip into" his book before seeing what he has to say about it in his Preface. In this you will often find that he explains the scope and plan (or perhaps absence of plan) of his work, and tells his readers what to expect and what not. Thus, to some extent he is able, by way of anticipation, to protect himself against unfair objections which might be alleged against his performance, and to escape the wrath of some readers who might be disappointed at not finding what they expected to find, and what the author never meant they should find. Let me, then, say a word or two by way of explanation in reference to these "Notes." They are not intended to form a book of methodical instruction for anglers; nor do they pretend to be exhaustive of the subjects treated of.
