OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON THE FIRST EDITION.
"LAND AND WATER."
"This unpretentious, yet well written, work contains a large amount of information, which may be read with advantage by all followers of the more refined branch of the gentle art."
"FISHING GAZETTE."
"Like Piscator's humble friend, the chub, it is 'a good dish of meat,' and excellent for entering a young angler. Mr. Tayler's views as to tackle are generally sound and practical. On the subject of flies he gives excellent advice. We can safely recommend it as a useful manual for any young aspirant to Fly-Fishing honours."
"FISHING."
"The author, in its pages, gives the result of many years' practical experience of Fly-Fishing, and evidently is no tyro. His work, therefore, will afford much useful information to those who are in need of it."
"HAMPSHIRE COUNTY TIMES."
"This capitally written essay on the whole art of Fly-Fishing is from the pen of Mr. James Tayler, who is recognised throughout the kingdom as an authority in the sport on which he gives such excellent instruction."
