The Complete Angler is a classic book written by Izaak Walton, first published in 1653. The book is a celebration of the art and spirit of fishing, and it is considered one of the most important works on angling ever written. It is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of fishing. The first part is a dialogue between Piscator (the angler) and Venator (the hunter), in which they discuss the joys of fishing and the virtues of a simple, peaceful life. The second part is a practical guide to fishing, with detailed instructions on how to catch different types of fish, how to make fishing tackle, and how to choose the best bait. The third part is a collection of songs, poems, and stories about fishing, including Walton’s famous ''The Angler’s Song.'' Throughout the book, Walton emphasizes the importance of patience, humility, and respect for nature, and he encourages his readers to find joy in the simple pleasures of life. The Complete Angler has been praised for its beautiful prose, its insight into the human spirit, and its enduring relevance to the sport of fishing.Trust me, Sir, there is not a likely place for a Trout hereabout: and we staid so long to take our leave of your huntsmen this morning, that the sun is got so high, and shines so clear, that I will not undertake the catching of a Trout till evening. And though a Chub be, by you and many others, reckoned the worst of fish, yet you shall see I’ll make it a good fish by dressing it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
