Chapter XVII – The Compleat Angler brings attention to an overlooked but deeply effective method of freshwater angling using natural baits, particularly different types of cadis-worms. These aquatic larvae, especially favored by Trout and Grayling, offer anglers a more dynamic and productive approach than the traditional fly. By alternating the bait’s position—sometimes near the riverbed and other times near the surface—the fisherman can mimic the natural movements of prey, triggering eager bites.…-

The Bloody Doctor
The Bloody Doctor begins with a recollection as sharp as the breeze skimming the loch’s surface—where triumph is rare, but every cast carries hope. The narrator revisits Clearburn Loch, a rugged haven where trout still thrive despite dwindling populations elsewhere. The loch, distant and unforgiving, holds a charm stronger than logic. It’s not the ease of the catch that draws anglers, but the purity of the challenge. Even on days when lines come back empty, the promise of wild fish gliding under…-

Chapter VII – The Compleat Angler introduces a fascinating exploration of the salmon, a fish revered not only for its strength but for the remarkable patterns it follows through life. Known to inhabit rivers far enough from the sea to avoid the influence of salt, the salmon embodies an incredible sense of timing and place. Each year, as summer matures into late August, these fish instinctively begin their journey upstream. With careful precision, female salmon create small nests in gravel beds, where…

Chapter XVIII – The Compleat Angler draws attention to a selection of modest freshwater fishes often overlooked in favor of larger, more celebrated species. Yet Piscator, with his calm authority and love for nature, makes it clear that these smaller creatures contribute richly to the experience of fishing and the health of local waters. He discusses them not with dismissal, but with admiration for their resilience, charm, and usefulness. The Minnow, first among them, is given a generous description. It…

Chapter VIII – The Compleat Angler begins with a lively discussion between Piscator and Venator about the Pike, a fish considered both fearsome and fascinating. This predatory creature is likened to a tyrant ruling the still waters, a stark contrast to the noble and widely admired Salmon. Unlike many other fish, the Pike leads a solitary existence, preferring isolation over company, and exhibits a brutal hunger that knows few limits. It devours not only smaller fish but also those of its own kind,…

Chapter XIX – The Compleat Angler presents a thoughtful survey of England’s rivers, blending admiration for their beauty with appreciation of their cultural, economic, and ecological significance. Piscator draws on the works of Dr. Heylin and other learned sources to offer not just a list of waterways but a tribute to their place in English life. He begins with the Thames, a river of grandeur, tracing its course from its dual origin at the Thame and Isis to where it empties into the sea. The Thames is…

A Tweedside Sketch
A Tweedside Sketch begins with an unvarnished admission of the narrator’s long-standing flaw—carelessness. It’s not born of laziness, but of a restless temperament that overlooks the small things. While such oversight might seem harmless in the moment, it builds a habit that eventually touches every part of life, even something as seemingly peaceful as fishing. As the narrator prepares for a salmon-fishing trip on the River Tweed, this trait resurfaces, leading to yet another avoidable misadventure.…-

Chapter IX — The Compleat Angler
Chapter IX – The Compleat Angler opens with a reflection on the reputation of the carp, long considered among anglers as the most cunning and elusive fish. Their high intelligence and ability to evade even the most skillful baiting efforts have earned them both admiration and frustration. Originally introduced to English waters by Mr. Mascal of Sussex, the carp was once a foreigner but has since flourished in selective regions. This fish, along with other newcomers such as turkeys and hops, marks a time…-
