This informing and practical book describes in a most interesting fashion the habits and environment of our familiar freshwater game fish, including anadromous fish like the salmon and sea trout. The life of a fish is traced in a manner very interesting to nature-lovers, while the simple and useful explanations of the methods of angling for different fish will be appreciated by fishermen old and young. As one of the most experienced of American fishermen, Mr. McCarthy is able to speak with authority regarding salmon, trout, ouananiche, bass, pike, and pickerel, and other fish which are the object of the angler’s pursuit. The book is profusely illustrated with pictures and serviceable diagrams. “The book compresses into a moderate space a larger amount of interesting knowledge about fish and fishing than any other volume that has appeared this season.”--_Chicago Tribune._ “It gives, in simple language and illustrations, much that it will be profitable for our boys to know before they begin to lay out their money, and much information that will be useful to them when they begin to go farther afield than their own immediate local waters.”--_Outing._ “One of the handsomest, most practical, most informing books that we know. The author treats his subject with scientific thoroughness, but with a light touch that makes the book easy reading.... The book should be the companion of all who go a-fishing.”--_New York Mail and Express._ BY HEZEKIAH BUTTERWORTH. Uniform Edition.
