The English Lake District Fisheries PDF Download

Excerpt from The English Lake District Fisheries MV apology for offering this work to the public is that the Editors of the Angler's Library have kindly asked me to write it; and because all my life I have been specially interested in the F isheries of the Lake District. This magnificent system of lakes, tarns, and rivers, now constitute fisheries mainly in a potential sense only; for there is not the slightest comparison between the sport or food supply they yield to-day with what they might and will - yield in the not distant future. A few years ago fish-culture and the management of fisheries were in their infancy but of late the knowledge of the subject has made enormous strides. Once the results of systematic te-stocking are seen, the cul tivation of water will be looked upon far differently to what it is to-day. There is probably no like area in the whole of Great Britain which has so many natural advantages in this respect as the English Lake District, but as yet these advantages have been but little realised.
