Coarse Fishing by H T Sheringham
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, coarse fishing is used to refer to angling for coarse fish, which are freshwater fish that are rather than game fish. All Freshwater game fish are salmonids (particularly salmon, trout and char), and therefore coarse fish are freshwater fish that are not salmonids. This vintage book contains a complete guide to angling for these fish, with chapters on everything from equipment and preparation to habit, habitat, and beyond. Coarse Fishing will appeal to those with a practical interest in this type of angling, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of angling literature. Contents include: A Matter for the Cook, Gear, The Fish, The Weir-Pool, Roach, A Morning with the Dace, Carp and Tench, Bream, Chub in Summer and Winter, The Golden Fish, Shreds and Patches, Eels, Pike, Odds and Ends, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
Sheringham, H. T.: - Hugh Tempest Sheringham was born into a clerical family - his father was a Vicar in Tewkesbury - and yet he was never drawn to the church. He won a scholarship to Westminster and then he took a classical tripos at Cambridge. In 1903, while fishing on the Lambourn, he met William Senior, the Editor of The Field, and was offered the job of Angling Editor of that magazine. It was a job he held until his death in 1930, at the age of 54. Besides his regular magazine articles, we wrote several novels and six fishing books, including An Angler's Hours, An Open Creel, Elements of Angling, Coarse Fishing, Trout Fishing: memories and morals and Fishing: its Cause, Treatment and Cure. He wrote with passion about the pleasures of coarse fishing which, unusually for his generation, he rated as highly as trout and salmon fishing.
