What reading level is The Practical Angler Or the Art of Trout Fishing More Particularly Applied to C book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have frequently fished with a very small fly, say No. 15, and a larger fly, say No. 12, of the same kind, and found that though the smaller fly raised twice the number, it did not secure so many as the larger one. We have also tried dressing two flies of the same kind and size, one on a No. 14 and the other on a No. 12 hook. The No. 12 was of course very much ex- posed, notwithstanding which it did most execution. This should be done very cautiously ; but by having hooks made a size thinner ...in the wire, they may be used one size larger with perfect safety. We have endeavoured to indicate the proper size of hook in a subsequent illustration.
Great care should be taken to select the finest and longest threads of gut for dressing flies on. When the waters are clear, fine gut is quite as necessary as good flies ; the finest gut, however lightly thrown, will sometimes alarm the trout.
Dressing a spider is a much simpler operation than dressing a fly, and therefore it is better to begin with it.
