Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angling Sketches: Large Print Andrew Lang THE CONFESSIONS OF A DUFFER These papers do not boast of great sport. They are truthful, not like the tales some fishers tell. They should appeal to many sympathies. There is no false modesty in the confidence with which I esteem myself a duffer, at fishing. Some men are born duffers; others, unlike persons of genius, become so by an infinite capacity for not taking pains. Others, again, among whom I would rank myself, combine both these elements of incompetence. Nature, that made me enthusiastically fond of fishing, gave me thumbs for fingers, short-sighted eyes, indolence, carelessness, and a temper which (usually sweet and angelic) is goaded to madness by the laws of matter and of gravitation. For example: when another man is caught up in a branch he disengages his fly; I jerk at it till something breaks. As for carelessness, in boyhood I fished, by preference, with doubtful gut and knots ill-tied; it made the risk greater, and increased the excitement if one did hook a trout. I can't keep a fly-book. I stuff the flies into my pockets at random, or stick them into the leaves of a novel, or bestow them in the lining of my hat or the case of my rods.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fishing and Shooting Sketches Forms of persecution, I make no claim that my steadfastness should' be looked upon as manifesting the courage of martyrdom. On the con trary, I regard these criticisms and persecutions as nothing more seri ous than gnat stings suffered on the bank of a stream - vexations to be borne with patience and afterward easily submerged in the memory of abundant delightful accompaniments. Thus, when short fishing excursions, in which I have sought relief from the wearing labors and perplexities of official duty, have been denounced in a mendacious newspaper as dis honest devices to cover scandalous revelry, I have been able to enjoy a sort of pleasurable contempt for the author of this accusation, whileand Outdoor Life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angling Sketches By Andrew Lang, 1895 er may ask, do I fish? Well, it is stronger than myself, the love of fishing; perhaps it is an inherited instinct, without the inherited power. I may have had a fishing ancestor who bequeathed to me the passion without the art. My vocation is fixed, and I have fished to little purpose all my days. Not for salmon, an almost fabulous and yet a stupid fish, which must be moved with a rod like a weaver's beam. The trout is more delicate and dainty--not the sea-trout, which any man, woman, or child can capture, but the yellow trout in clear water.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Angling Days and an Angler's Books These sketches, which originally appeared in T he Angler, were reprinted in the hope that they might prove interesting to other brethren of the craft. They are now reissued in a cheaper and more accessible shape in the belief that a wider circle of readers will be reached. The writer is by no means accomplished in the gentle art, but has derived immense benefit, like many others, in the intervals of a busy life, as well as in seasons of physical weakness, from this innocent and restful pursuit. To keep life wholesome, every man should have a hobby and what Walton called the contempla tive man's recreation is also an excellent relief to busy, overtaxed men. Lovers of reading will not complain of the extracts from the writer's favourite books. The illustrations are from photos taken by Mr. T. Bramwell, Alston, Cumberland.
