My copy is the "Lonsdale Library" edition of 1930  352 pages of wisdom . Cost me a quid 2nd hand in the 1950s

I have most of the books in that series   Salmon Fishing (Tavener et al )  for 12/6;  Trout fishing from all angles (Tavener et al again) 25 bob;  as well as vast tomes on sea fishing and three volumes on shooting from Jack Snipe through pigeon,  pheasant, lion and buffalo to African Elephant  (and yes I agree these latter are better "shot" with a camera)

As I said, there is much wisdom there - and elsewhere  -  My favourite amongst my collection of old angling books is "The Art of Angling" by William Samuel   1577 - Sixteen years before Izaak Walton was born...../

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

 

Mathew 4:19

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!
