This informing and practical book describes in a most inter- 
esting fashion the habits and environment of our familiar fresh- 
water game fish, including anadromous fish like the salmon and 
sea trout. The life of a fish is traced in a manner very interest- 
ing to Nature lovers, while the simple and useful explanations of 
the methods of angling for different fish will be appreciated by 
fishermen old and young. As one of the most experienced of 
American fishermen, Mr. McCarthy is able to speak with au- 
thority regarding salmon, trout, ouananiche, bass, pike, and pick- 
erel, and other fish which are the object of the angler's pursuit. 
His clear and practical counsel as to fly-casting, and rods and 
tackle and their use, and his advice as to outfits and the various 
details of camp life, render his book a most useful companion for 
all sportsmen and campers. Dr. David Starr Jordan has read 
the manuscript, and has lent the weight of his approval by writ- 
ing an introduction. The book is profusely illustrated with pic- 
tures and serviceable diagrams.
