Hugh Sheringham – författare

“The Book of the Fly-Rod” is a classic guide to fly fishing by Hugh Sheringham. It contains a wealth of interesting and useful information, historical details, authentic anecdotes, and tidbits from the author''s extensive personal experience fly-fishing all over the world. Entertaining and informative, this timeless and profusely-illustrated volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in fly-fishing and it''s history, and it would make for a superb addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: “De Maximis”, “Out of Macedonia”, “If We Started Afresh”, “The Travelling Companion”, “The Fly-Rod in North America”, “Fly-fishing in Norway”, “Salmon and Sea Trout”, “Salmon Fishing in Canada”, “The Management of the Club”, “Black Bass”, “The Fly-Rod in the Sea”, “A Talk About It”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.

Originally published in 1912, this attractive book includes 17 prominent authors who offer their knowledge of every aspect of fly fishing.

H.T. Sheringham ranks among the finest fishing writers of the twentieth century. Here is a collection of the very best of his angling experiences, taken mainly from his six fishing books and from The Field, for which he was Angling Editor. No fish escaped his interest, even if it did sometimes escape his creel – carp, tench, chub, pike, roach, salmon and trout – all were pursued with equal gusto. He takes the reader on a journey without frontiers, from the reservoirs (Blagdon in its opening years) to the finest chalkstreams in England, from overgrown canals to Welsh salmon rivers. No snob, he knew only the joy of the sport. He is funny, he is moving and – most rare – he is modest about his all-round skills with rod and line. If you are new to Sheringham, An Angler for all Seasons will surely convert you into one of his many admirers. The essays in this anthology have been chosen and introduced by Tom Fort, former Angling Correspondent of the Financial Times.
