Vintage and collectable, published in 1922. The book is structured as a series of short chapters, each focusing on different aspects of fishing, especially in the rivers and lochs of Scotland. Divided into thirty-eight chapters, Bridgett discusses fishing in the Clyde and Tweed, and in Lochs Dochart, Katrine, Earn, Nubhair, Lubnaig and Leven. The author offers vivid descriptions of the landscapes, the changing seasons, and the personalities of fellow anglers. The tone is reflective, touching on themes like patience, solitude, the companionship of fishing, and the lessons nature teaches. A charming account of early twentieth century trout fishing in Scotland, derived from the author's contributions to the Glasgow Herald.  B&w photographic plates and sketches throughout. Hardcover, 306 pages, 22cm x 15cm. Good, sturdy vintage condition.
