Excerpt from Days Among the Pike and Perch: Being a Practical Treatise on Angling for Pike and Perch in River, Lake, and Stream; By Float, Leger, and Paternoster, Together With Chapters on the Personal Experiences of the Author During the Forty-Six Years of His Angling Career In these pages you will not find an elaborate list of tackle and goods recommended, but only what I know by many years' experience to be exactly suitable for the sport described. N 0 college training or book learning have I had, but simply an education in the hard world of experience and the open book of Nature herself. With confidence I leave this with you, and thank my hundreds of friends for the kindly words and the cordial reception they gave my last volume of personal experiences. I trust this will meet with a similar reception. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
