The boy's own guide to fishing. Tackle-making and fishbreeding: being a plain, precise and practical explanation of all that is necessary to be known by the young angler

Fishing is a sport especially suitable for boys. It is pure, healthy outdoor recreation, devoid of feverish excitement, but not devoid of quiet pleasures that are inexpressibly charming in the tender years of childhood and, above all, are completely innocent in their inclinations. As adolescence succeeds childhood, the love for fishing increases, and as maturity, this love becomes part of the man and will never be completely rejected. And as old age approaches, when the gun, dog and saddle are sadly retired, fishing is still a distraction for the contemplative men. The book is divided into four parts, corresponding to the seasons in the sequence: Spring - Summer - Autumn - Winter. Each part describes the peculiarities of fishing at a particular time of the year. This practical guide has everything a young angler needs to know about fishing.
