'Since its historic first issue back in 1895, Field & Stream has published several thousand articles on trout fishing-far more than on any other fish. The most outstanding of these pieces have been gathered for this collection.
Starting with a Civil War hero's description of fly fishing in his youth and a 1900 report on 2-pound brook trout just twenty-six miles from New York City, there are splendid (and historically important) articles by such masters as Dr. James Henshall, Emlyn Gill, Nash Buckingham, and Eugene Connett. The reader can outwit picky trout with Ray Bergman, take a trip out to New Zealand's waters with Russell Chatham, chase rainbows with Corey Ford, catch steelhead with Zane Grey, visit a legendary fly tyer and rooster-raiser with A. J. McClane, catch a giant brookie with Peter Kaminsky, and land huge fish on the lightest fly rod in history with Lee Wulff. Here is a book to read and reread, for enjoyment, for adventure, for humor, or for the sheer joy of it.
