The date of publication is not stated. However, the half-title verso bears the Book Production War Economy Standard logo as well as the usual statement, whilst the Foreword by R.L. Marston implies that the Second World War is still in progress. This is a concise, general introduction to fly fishing and lure fishing, coarse fishing and sea fishing. "After the last war a host of weary warriors laid aside the weapons of destruction to take up quite a different 'weapon' - a fishing rod, the 'weapon' of peace. History has a way of repeating itself so we may anticipate in the near future, let us hope, a great influx to the ranks of anglers by river, lake and sea." R.L. Marston. "This book is dedicated to you, the budding angler. Although I cannot promise that you will catch big fish and many, I can assure you that you will enjoy countless hours of peace and happiness in your angling pursuits." A.R. Harris Cass.
