Sheringham's delightful ramblings on trout fishing: from Welsh brooks to the chalk streams; from the Mayfly to the minnow and worm; angling controversies and "the fly question." "Mr. Sheringham gives us the real atmosphere of angling, mysterious failure, mysterious success, the caprice of the long-looked-for evening rise, the sad ultimate fallibility of the infallible fly, the enchanting and unending pursuit of the unattainable which angling opens to its votaries. A book to read and a book to keep." (Review in Salmon and Trout Magazine, June, 1920).
