What reading level is The American Salmon Fisherman book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We continue to follow his example.
We switch the rod upward with some force. Though careful to see that the impetus ceases before the rod is quite perpendicular, we nevertheless continue the motion and ease the rod down until it is nearly horizontal, with the tip pointing to the front and toward the place at which we wish the fly to be delivered. Perhaps the following diagram will make this plainer, in which A B represents the rod before the switch; A C, its position when the impetus is to ceas...e; AE, its position when the cast ends; and D the place at which we aim. The arrow points at the salmon for whose entertainment the cast is made.
By thus acting as though we were trying to hit the moon, that portion of the line which was behind us is thrown into a loop; and, if the impetus ceases at the proper moment, this loop travels down the line, lifting the fly from the water and projecting it forward. The loop must be directed to one side of the line which re- mains on the water, and the leeward side must be chosen if the wind is not dead fair with the cast.
