"William Caine was one of the most versatile Bohemians of his time; a clever novelist, a flamboyant genius, a gifted, sentimental writer. He loved fishing, being an angler of many wiles and he loved to amuse people. An Angler at Large is a collection of his witty angling essays on a variety of fishy subjects, both game and coarse". "Nothing more deliciously funny exists in angling literature than his Angler At Large. Yet there is nothing sounder in that literature than that devastating work". (G.E.M. Skues in the Salmon and Trout Magazine, July 1928).
