Excerpt from Lake and Stream Game Fishing: A Practical Book on the Popular Fresh-Water Game Fish, the Tackle Necessary and How to Use It In the whole field of sport there is, perhaps, no thrill comparable with that which comes of doing fair battle with a gamey fish; he is a worthy oppo nent for any man, and through all the stages of the contest, from the first fierce strike to the final sweep of the landing net, the red blood surges and the nerves tingle in wholesome exhilaration.

LAKE AND STREAM GAME FISHING - A Practical Book on the Popular Fresh-Water, Game Fish, the Tackle Necessary and How to Use It - BY DIXIE CARROLL - 1919 - PREFACE - In writing this book of fish, fishing, tackle and how to use it, as well as incidental remarks on equipment it is not the intention of the writer to set it up on a pinnacle as a hollier than thou book.

This creed follows and I earnestly hope fishermen will burn this thought into their memory and in time................
