nebe turned me onto this book. it's called" fishing in american waters".
the book was originally printed in the 1880's. it shows how the people fished back then and the tackle and baits used. salt water and sweet. a great chapter on a fishing/camping trip to canada for salmon. an interesting aside is there being 3 different references to the concerns of menhaden netting and the fears that the game fish would dissapear along with the bait. some thing never change. enjoy
