vii, 101, [1] pp. Copyright page states 'Twelve hundred copies of this book were printed for the United States & Canada, this copy is number 856... printed in England in 1955 by The Chiswick Press.' Includes five color plates of trout stream insects and flies, and five black-and-white illustrations (carp tackle, Hatch-Thompson corn carrier or ground baiter, etc.). From the jacket: "Mr. Thompson's writing on trout and salmon, the natural insects and artificial flies of interest to these fish, and his happy experience with all these, not only is soundly instructive, but a large cut above most of the fare to which anglers have been subjected in recent years. His remarks on striped bass fishing, illustrated with stories of his pursuit of this wonderful fish, will have equal attraction for any angler. Mr. Thompson is a distinguished artist, and the color plates he has painted for this book are superb, as are his black and white sketches." From The Atlantic: "A Boston artist and perfectionist, Leslie P. Thompson is a master of the fly rod who has fished New England waters for more than four decades. Fishing and painting are his twin delights; and, a democrat of the rod, he takes as much pleasure in landing a carp in the Charles or a smelt in Boston Harbor as he does a two-pound trout in the Battenkill." "Leslie Prince Thompson had a reputation for producing masterful impressionistic landscapes, portraits and beach scenes. He learned these skills while training at the Massachusetts Normal Art School under Ernest L. Major (1864-1950) and continuing at the Museum School with Edmund Tarbell. Thompson received the prestigious Paige Traveling Scholarship and proceeded to spend two years in Europe before returning to Boston where he received private instruction under Tarbell."
