nobbes

Robert Nobbes’s 17th century guide to the art of trolling is a fascinating window into the world of early modern English fishing. Along with detailed descriptions of the equipment and techniques involved in trolling for fish like salmon, trout, and pike, Nobbes provides an engaging account of the rivers, lakes, and landscapes where the sport was pursued. This new edition includes updated annotations and a foreword by a leading angling historian.
