Excerpt from Book of the Grayling: Being a Description of the Fish, and the Art of Angling for Him, as Practised Chiefly in the Midlands and the North of England It has always seemed to me that the Grayling is entitled to a better place in the estimation of anglers than the one usually accorded to him. Books in praise of the sporting qualities of trout, and the delightful art of catching them, have been written by the score, and here and there an odd chapter has been added, in which the Grayling is compared with the trout to the great disadvantage of the former, much as one institutes a disparaging comparison between a militiaman and a soldier of the line. The trout is the angler's fish of spring and early summer, when every soft breeze is laden with a perfumed invitation to see Nature at her best, the Grayling is a fish of the year's old age: of that time when the morning silver of early winter mingles with the russet and amber of the woods, that want but the midday light of the Enchanter to blossom into gold.
