First Edition. Artificial fly fishing, dry fly fishing, creeper and stone fly fishing,  worm fishing, minnow fishing, night fishing, tackle and lake fishing. Illustrated.

A useful look at trout fishing in the North of England; wet and dry-fly, creeper and stonefly fishing, worm and minnow fishing. Riddell advertised fly-casting and spinning lessons at the North of England Shooting School, Ryton-on-Tyne. “Gentleman’s sons specially catered for…” “Not a guide book, but gives useful information for anglers who want to fish the Tyne and other rivers of the Border.”

This vintage book contains a fantastic guide to fishing for trout, including chapters on the various methods that can be employed, the equipment required, possible locations, habits and habitat, and much more. “All About Trout Fishing” constitutes a must-read for trout fishers new and old, and it would make for a wonderful addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: “A General Introduction”, “Artificial Fly-fishing”, “Dry Fly-fishing”, “Creeper and Stone Fly-fishing”, “Worm Fishing”, “Minnow Fishing”, “Night Fishing”, “A Few Hints on Tackle”, “Loch or Lake Fishing”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

NOTE: This is an original  book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG. Note: Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. 

In 2008, Jack was one of the co-founders of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, alongside other members of the Department, and acted as the Foundation’s Chair. The project’s original goals were modest: to build and distribute low-cost computers for prospective applicants to our Computer Science degree. Initially the project was a “success disaster”, as Jack would say, as demand far outstripped the low-scale manufacturing plans. Ultimately the Raspberry Pi became the UK’s most successful computer with more than 60 million sold to date. Jack was drawn to the educational possibilities of the Raspberry Pi, its potential uses in emerging economies and the way it could support self-directed learning.
