"Hints on Angling" is a vintage guide to fishing written by Palmer Hackle, ESQ. It offers expert tips and simple instructions for catching a variety of common fish, with sections on equipment, where and when to fish, their habits and habitats, and much more. This volume will be of considerable utility to anglers new and old, and it is not to be missed by the discerning collector of vintage fishing literature. Contents include: "Description of Fish", "The Salmon", "Trout", "Pike", "Perch", "Carp", "Tench", "Barbel", "Bream", "Chub", "Roach", "Dace", "Bleak", "Pope or Ruffe", "Eel", "Loach", "Minnow", "Smelt", "Gudgeon", "Char", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
