Starting with a Civil War hero's description of fly-fishing in his youth and a 1900 account of catching 21/2-pound brook trout just twenty-six miles from New York City, there are splendid (and historically important) articles by such masters as Dr. James Henshall, Emlyn Gill, Nash Buckingham, Eugene Connett, G. M. L. LaBranche, Arthur Macdougall, Edward R. Hewitt, and Sid Gordon. The table of contents reads like a Who's Who of American trout fishing - the reader will outwit picky trout with Ray Bergman, take a trip out to New Zealand's waters with Russell Chatham, chase rainbows with Corey Ford, catch steelhead with Zane Grey, visit a legendary fly-tyer and rooster-raiser with A. J. McClane, catch a giant brookie with Peter Kaminsky, and land huge fish on the lightest fly rod in history with Lee Wulff. The Field & Stream Treasury of Trout Fishing is a book to read and reread, for enjoyment, for adventure, for humor, for the sheer joy of it.

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This is a collection of 47 short (2-10 page) pieces published in Field & Stream between 1900 and 1985. The authors represented form a veritable "Who's Who" of trout writers of the period. The audience for this title will be similar to that for The Armchair Angler ( LJ 4/15/86). Libraries could hold both without fear of redundancy. While several writers appear in both collections, Angler is specifically international in authorship, deals with wider varieties of fishing experience, and includes selections of greater purely literary value; the Treasury gives a superior sense of the history and development of (primarily) North American fly fishing in this century. It also has the added feature of presenting more instructional material. Recommended. David J. Panciera, Westerly P.L., R.I.
