Excerpt from Roach, Rudd Bream Fishing: Being a Practical Treatise on Angling With Float and Ledger in Still Water and Stream, Including a Few Remarks on Surface Fishing for Rudd and Roach
In the preface to the first volume of this little work, I pointed out that in scores of big towns and cities there are thousands of factory and other workers who dearly love a day's fishing, and when the workshop bell or steam buzzer at noon on Saturday's signalled a cessation of the week's toil, these workers were soon after wending their way, rod in hand and basket on back, to their favourite river, drain, canal, or reservoir, as the case might be.
The great majority of these men are, as I said then, bottom fishermen, pure and simple; and I may say also without fear of contradiction, that by far the largest number make Roach and Bream the special objects of their quest. It was this consideration that made the Publisher of this little effort of my pen decide to issue it in two volumes - 1st, dealing with Barbel and Chub; and 2nd, Roach and Bream.
