Description

Over one and a half centuries after its original publication, Thaddeus Norriss The American Anglers Book remains a classic heavily sought after by fishing enthusiasts and collectors. Considered father of American fly fishing, Norriss encyclopedic compilation of nineteenth-century tackle and the making of it, information on diverse fish species, and fishing theories and musings was an immensely important tome that helped popularize sport fishing in the United States. Much of the information is still relevant to pursuers of the modern sport. Topics covered include:

Hooks, sinkers, swivels, leaders, snoods, lines, rods, and reels
Perch, pike, carp, herring, catfish and eels, salmon, and trout species and behaviors
Saltwater and fly fishing methods and tackle
Repairs, fly-making, and rod-making
Fish breeding
And more!

Every American Piscator may feel proud [to own] this elegant volume with beautifully executed illustrations, proclaimed The New York Times on the books original publication. With information copiously gathered and published during the American Civil War, Norris was a leader in his field. Containing a wealth of exquisite engravings, The American Anglers Book is a must-have addition to any serious fly-fishers collection.

While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
