On September 16, 1913, at Little Loch Broom in Scotland, Muriel Foster made the first entry in her fishing diary, unaware that she was a pioneer fly fisherwoman. Her fascinating illustrated log, continued for 35 years and first published long before today's resurgence of enthusiasm for fly-fishing, is a unique addition to the literature. More than 400 sketches and watercolors of fish, lures, birds, and other wildlife, complement Foster's insights and poetry.
A beautifully illustrated record of fishing expeditions between 1913 and 1949. Trout-fishing in Scotland, Ireland and Cambridgeshire, plus occasional sea-angling trips.
