"The Determined Angler and the Brook Trout" by Charles Barker Bradford is an anthological volume on trout fishing written in the early 20th century. This book discusses the art of angling, particularly addressing the brook trout, its habitats, and the techniques employed by both anglers and fishermen. It features a harmonious blend of lore, practical advice, and a philosophical outlook on fishing that elevates it beyond mere instruction to a celebration of nature and the sport. The opening of the volume sets the stage by emphasizing the significance of the brook trout within the angling community and the gentle art of fishing. Bradford begins with poetic passages that describe the brook trout's environment and then delves into the fundamental differences between casual fishing and the more refined practice of angling, which he suggests is a pursuit of quality over quantity. He also introduces the reader to various fishing techniques and tackle that are essential for a successful experience. Through these early reflections, the author establishes a tone that is both reverent and instructional, inviting readers to appreciate not just the act of fishing but the accompanying beauty of nature and the philosophy of conservation.
