The Compleat Angler Izaak Walton
Being an avid angler, and having heard of this book in passing before, I downloaded this free copy. Though this book is very old, there are timeless nuggets of wisdom that make this an invaluable read to the thoughtful fisherman. First, the reason I gave it four stars out of five is because there are several portions of the book that focused more on fishing tactics, which to me seemed dated and obsolete (plus it was in England, so there were different fish species). However when the discussion turned towards the joys of fishing and how it benefits the soul this book shined. Along with sharing poetry, the book discussed how fishing has emotional and even spiritual benefits (something I fully believe). Though the language is a bit archaic it still is easy to read for the most part, so give this book a read before you go out fishing next time!Product details

The Compleat Angler Izaak Walton Reviews
Although this book was originally published in the 1600's it still relevant today. It combines all the information you need to catch and cook fish. It is very entertaining and worth the read
What is there to say about this wonderful book that has delighted readers for centuries? If you like fishing, you should like this book. If you like charming stories of a time when the world was still clean and pure, you should like this book. If you like both, you should love this book. But be warned it contains evidence that Izaak Walton may have plagiarized the story from an earlier and very rare treatise on the pleasures of fishing and the rural life. Horrors! Could it be? Well...possibly. You should read the book to explore this mystery. Highly recommended.
An absolute classic! How could anyone give less than 5 stars? Over 300 years after it was written, it still has some of the best observations ever made about why we fish. The humble spirit and unwavering faith behind the writing, however, is what really makes it superb.
2 Stars for the poor quality of the product. Purchased as a gift, poorly printed on low quality material. If I had seen this in store, I would not have purchased it for $5, let alone almost $20. Unfortunately needed to return it.
This classic work that is ostensibly about fishing is really a wonderful philosophical and humanistic commentary. Written with grace and verbal sophistication it nonetheless comes off as a homey and loving view of the gift of just being alive. The work is mentioned in a film of Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice" with great affection by Elizabeth's uncle in conversation with the now very pleasant Darcy. What fun to read the original. "Are you a complete fisherman?" "Ah, Mr. Walton's book is my bible."
If there was a lower number of stars then one they would get it! The book has a good 2+ inches of space around the text! And was so small for The book looked like someone photo copied it and put it in a nice cover!
After many allusions to this work,I decided to review it in the middle of an interest in literary fishing history. This was as insight into literature of the 1700's with thoughts regarding philosophy of appreciating nature, rivers and fish and fishing techniques of all types. The appeal is not limited to trout fishing alone and much of the work does not deal with trout nor fly fishing. It is worth the effort but only if one has the historical interest to have a deep look back at this subject and style Cactus Ken.
