Despite this he managed to wet a line pretty frequently. The second part, "Rambling Reminiscences," consists of anecdotes, largely about sea fishing and trout fishing in Cornwall, Ireland, France and Spain. Sir Charles Payton was angling correspondent of The Field from 1867 to 1914, writing under the pen-name of "Sarcelle".
