Fishing Holidays - Paperback

by Stephen Gwynn (Author)

"Fishing Holidays" is an assorted collection of anecdotes and accounts of the author's various fishing holidays in Ireland. This informal yet informative volume offers the reader an insight into real-life fishing, providing accounts of actual excursions, mishaps, successes, and utter failures in the hope that the reader may learn from the author's mistakes and emulate his successes. An easy and entertaining read, "Fishing Holidays" will appeal to anglers new and old, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of angling literature. Contents include: "Amabilis Insania", "By Irish Waters". "St. Bridgid's Flood", "My Friend the Salmon Poacher", "The Reedy Lake", "The Raid to Cushinass", "A Day with White Trout", "The Young Fisher", "Tide Fishing", "The Low Country", "The Kaabah of Anglers", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
