Housby gives clear and helpful advice to anglers. His chapters on the most popular freshwater fish contain detailed information on the best types of suitable baits to be used for each type of fish, and their feeding habits. He explains also the technique of wet and dry fly fishing when the angler is seeking trout. In the second part of the book, the author describes the most economic methods for all forms of salt water fishing, and how it is possible to use the same tackle for most types of fish in a given area. A final chapter is devoted to such problems as angler’s knots, whipping a rod, float making, and how to make rubber spinning baits that work well in both sea and fresh water.
