Excerpt from Salmon Fishing

Possibly this little episode engendered the love of angling (but I come of an angling race); in any case, the handling of the rod has been one of the greatest pleasures of my existence.

As a partner in the Firm of Hardy Brothers as well as an enthusiastic lover of sport, I have at all times taken a lively interest in all that pertains to angling; seeking better knowledge of the ways of the wild things we angled for; watching them in their homes in the river; endeavouring to discover why our efforts were not crowned with success; hatching new schemes and inventing new lures has always been a most enjoyable pastime.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from Salmon Fishing

Well do I remember my first introduction to angling - how a young brother nd I toddled down to the river Aln armed with a piece of string and a few bent pins, - how we dug a large worm, and impaling it on a pin carefully laid our baited hook in the shallows of the river where the minnows came to bask in the sun. Then we fastened the line by placing a large stone on the end of it, and lying on the sand watched the minnows, until their numbers covered our worm from sight. Giving them time to swallow it, we ran to the line expecting to find one hooked. Great, however, was our surprise and disappointment, to find that not a single minnow had the courage to eat a worm larger than himself.
