For early written instruction on fish and fly fishing, colonial Americans relied mainly on British authors, but by the nineteenth century the American fly-fisher could turn to American writers like Genio Scott. His book 'Fishing in American Waters' was an milestone book in the history of American fly fishing and sport fishing. The book is well-written and has significant literary value. He was a reporter for the New York Times, and this is a very well-written and authoritative book. For "true anglers and brethren of the angle"! Includes sections on "Poetry of fish" and "Philosophy of Fish", and wildlife game laws as well as Recipes for cooking fish. Has a detailed section of history of fish hatcheries back to ancient times and on salt-water fisheries. The book fueled interest in fly fishing and introduced Americans to notions of sportsmanship, conservation, effective game laws, and fish hatchery development. It will be enjoyed by anyone who wants to know more about the tradition and pleasure of fly fishing and sport fishing. Great gift for the angler or for your own elibrary.
