Angling Ways - Eric Marshall- Hardy

Post by DWW »

I am just reading Angling Ways. What a great book ! Just proves there is not much new in fishing ! Most of the so called modern tactics are in here from the 1940s and 1950s. Anyone else enjoyed this book or maybe has other views on it ?

Same here, my first fishing book which is minus the dust jacket (I threw it away) and very grubby. I studied it for many hours :-)

The chapters on flyfishing for "coarse fish" are excellent .

Angling Ways by Marshall-Hardy

Post by Slumption »

I picked up a copy of Angling Ways from our local book stall. Its an absolute cracker of a book!

If you want a book that goes into details on lots of the older methods and techniques then this is it. I do find it sad that most magasines now only focus on a handful of modern specimen techniques.

If you are a roach angler then this book covers the Sheffield style, Notthingham style, hemp, silk weed and probably dedicated over 100 pages just to this one species.
