This early work is a fascinating read for any fisherman containing much information and anecdote that is still useful and practical today. A dozen full page maps of fishing in Maine accompany the text. Contents Include: Part One: What to Catch and How to Catch Them - In General; The Brook Trout; The Landlocked Salmon; Atlantic-Salmon; Bass, Pickerel and Perch; Salt-Water Fishing; Part Two: Where to Catch Them - The St. John River-Fish River Lakes Region; The Moosehead Lake-Katahdin Region; The Rangeley Region; The Washington County Region; The Belgrade Lakes-Kennebec Lakes Region; The Sebago Region; Appendix I: Maine Inland Fishing Laws; Appendix II: Fish and Game Wardens; Appendix III: Maine Publicity Bureau Offices; and an Index of Proper Names. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
