The Angler And The Loop-Rod is a book written by David Webster and first published in 1885. It is a comprehensive guide to the art of fly fishing and covers everything from the history of the sport to the equipment and techniques used by anglers. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of fly fishing. Webster begins by discussing the history of fly fishing and the evolution of the loop-rod, a type of fishing rod that uses a loop of line to cast the fly. He then goes on to explain the different types of flies used in fly fishing and how to tie them. The book also covers the different types of fish that can be caught with a fly rod, including trout, salmon, and bass. In addition to discussing the technical aspects of fly fishing, The Angler And The Loop-Rod also delves into the philosophy of the sport. Webster explores the connection between angler and fish, and the importance of respecting the natural environment. He also discusses the social aspects of fly fishing, including the camaraderie that develops between anglers. Overall, The Angler And The Loop-Rod is a classic work on the art of fly fishing. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the sport, whether they are a beginner or an experienced angler. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it easy to understand and follow. It is a timeless guide that will be enjoyed by generations of anglers to come.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Preface. and fullest treatment; and although one would suppose that surely nothing remained to be said on this well-worn theme, it is believed that several facts of importance, especially in regard to the influence of the wind on the success of the sport, appear here for the first time. Into the list of flies I have admitted only those which, from close observation and actual trial, I have proved to be most worthy of the anglers regard. All of them, with the exception of the sand-fly (which attains its maturity in the sand and gravel at the side of the water), are hatched in the bed of the stream, and constitute the ready and natural food of the fish. The remarks under this head are more particularly applicable to the Clyde and the Tweed; still I believe they will hold good for all rivers and streams in this country, for the common natural flies are found more or less on all alike, and differ merely in the times of their development.
