Excerpt from Trout Culture
Having been one of the first to practice Fish-Culture in this country, and being now, perhaps, the largest and most successful Trout-Culturist in America, so many requests have been made to me "to write a book," that I have at last concluded to try it. This little treatise is intended as a manual for Trout-Culturists, and is written especially for those who wish to raise Trout. It deals only with the practical part of the business. No scientific terms have been used, when other and more common names would equally convey the meaning. Neither has any scientific enquiry been entertained, any further than it would be of practical use to the fish-farmer. The science of Fish-Culture is yet in its infancy; and I claim only for this book, that it is an accurate description of my own method and practice. Still it should be remembered that this practice is the result of some years of study, labor and numberless experiments. I am very well convinced that I can handle the rod better than the pen, and beg that the book shall be judged by its matter rather than by its language and style.
I am under obligation to my partner, Mr. A. S. Collins, for assistance in preparing this work.
