About this book
A May morning walk toward Ware brings an angler, a falconer and a hunter together to discuss their favorite recreations. Izaak Walton gives fishing a conversational setting, with practical observations woven into exchanges about country life and the pleasures of a day outdoors. His address to readers explains how weather, local rivers and experience affect the angler's choices, including the making and use of artificial flies.
The discussion ranges well beyond bait and tackle. Piscator considers whether fish can hear sounds through water, draws on writers such as Francis Bacon and Pliny, and recounts stories of fish responding to familiar signals. Verse enters the conversation alongside advice about patience and quietness.
