Description

The Basses, Fresh Water And Marine. PREFACE. A FEW lines only are necessary to explh the object with which this volume on the Basses is put forth. It is intended as a companion and sequel to the Editors book on Brook Trout, which fiom all sources has received a most kindly and flattering reception-a fhvor he would bespeak for the present issue. The shortcomings of the previous work have, it is hoped, been obviated in this volume. All the matter has been specially written for it, and a greater number of colored pictures, reproduced by better and later methods, have been used. The main object has been to supply readers with complete information, . not only how, when, and where to fish for bass, but also to enable them to find poetic descriptions, entertaining accounts, and pIeasing vicissitudes of angling, so that they may catch a gIimpse, if possible, of the glamour and light of naturk-study, without which half the delight in fishing wouId be lost. So far, Iittle or nothing has been said concerning the marine basses, especialIy that king of marine game-fish, the striped bass and the Editor is fortu- nate in securing for this subject such a writer as Dr. TarIeton H. Bean, whose practical angling skill, combined with his weIl-known scientific knowledge, furnishes the reader with complete information marine fishing. It has been thought best to have the matter re- lating to the fresh-water basses entireIy from the pen of one author, and that concerning the marine basses from another, making possible a more corn- plete and satisfactory result. The late William C. Harriss contribution was his Iast work, his cIosing chapters having been finished in Saint Vincents Hospital. Although most of his writings were on trout and troubfishing, he preferred, and spent many years of his Iater life in fly-fishing for black bass, and he often expressed a desire to have the chance of writing a complete book on the. bass a subject on which none were more capable. This volume gave him the opportunity in the plenitude of his powers, and he produced what he himself considered the best work of his Iife. His idea of introducing three anglers, each with a different mode of capture, to tell in theiPown way how best to angle for the gamy bass, is a happy one, which he had in mind years ago. As the ilIustrations of flies for the book on Brook Trout were prepared by an expert, a similar collection of bass flies has been tied and arranged especially for this work. The publishers devotion to the art of angling can be inferred from the care bestowed on all the little details which only a Iabor of Iove can inspire, and which makes beauty and usefulness join hands. Should The Basses meet with an encouraging success, it wilI be followed by a series of works on angling, under the title of A Library of Rod and Reel. This will contain voIumes individually dis- tinctive, though uniform in size and character, and their titles will be announced in due course. LOUIS REA
