"The interest of a work on angling may safely be said to be in direct ratio to the boldness and originality with which the author attacks and discusses debatable points..Tried by this test, `Trout Fishing,' fresh and stimulating and full of matter as an egg is of meat, must be pronounced one of the most interesting works on angling..All is written in a masterly style, always pleasant and genial..He casts his wet flies and his fancies with charming literary skill..The coloured illustrations of trout flies for lake and stream are beyond comparison the most artistic and life-like reproductions that have ever appeared in print." (The Fishing Gazette).
