Genio Scott's Fishing in American Waters has been a classic exploration of new world angling since its original publication in 1875. Scott, an artist, publisher, and fashion entrepreneur, fished in every style and on every major body of water in New England and eastern Canada in the decades before writing this book; his advice on everything from the selection of flies to the selection of fishing companions, and from the consumption of fish to the conservation of fisheries, is still fresh and trenchant today. With dozens of detailed illustrations, this book is one of the finest examples of 19th century angling literature.
