Description
Fishing with Cormorants is a comprehensive guide to a traditional fishing method that has been used for centuries. This unique approach involves training cormorants to fish in rivers, and it is believed to have originated in Japan, China or Korea.
The book provides detailed information on the history and practice of cormorant fishing, including how to obtain young birds, rear them, and manage their daily care. It also explores the connections between this ancient pastime and other cultures, such as England and the Netherlands.
Written by Francis Henry Salvin, an English writer on cormorant-fishing and falconry, this vintage book is a valuable resource for those interested in fishing literature and the history of traditional fishing methods. The original text and artwork have been carefully reproduced in this modern edition, making it a worthwhile addition to any collection.
