Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roach, Rudd Bream Fishing in Many Waters: Being a Practical Treatise on Angling With Float and Ledger in Still Water and Stream, Including a Few Remarks on Surface Fishing for Roach, Rudd, and Dace My Dear Brother Fishermen, - I have a favour to ask at your hands, and that is, kindly look through this preface before proceeding to dip into the various chapters that follow, because in a preface an author is supposed to give the reason for his work and briefly explain the scope of that work. In this edition, which has been most carefully re-written and revised, I have made two or three special features, adding four fresh chapters. This branch of our sport - Roach and Bream fishing - has far more votaries than any other; one fact that goes to prove it being that the first edition is exhausted, and a demand for more imperative. There are in scores of big towns and cities many thousands of factory and other workers who dearly love a day's fishing, and have not the time or opportunity to travel far and wide in search of their sport. The workshop bell or steam buzzer at noon on Saturdays signals a cessation of the week's toil, and soon after troops of these workers are wending their way, rod in hand, and basket on back, to the nearest river, drain, canal, or reservoir. The great majority of these working-men anglers are Roach and Bream fishermen pure and simple. They are content to sit quietly on the banks of the humbler waters, watching the float and drinking down a supply of fresh air that renews their strength and fits them for the next week's toil. They consider themselves well rewarded if they only succeed in catching a dish of Roach, or a basket of Bream.
