This literary piece explores the value of using simple baits, particularly worms, in contrast to the more celebrated method of fly-fishing. At its core, the book addresses the joys and pragmatism of humble fishing, emphasizing how different approaches yield different rewards in the pursuit of trout. In the text, Perry draws on his own experiences as an angler, detailing the challenges of navigating brooks and the unpredictability of nature. He emphasizes the rewards of fishing with worms, particularly in unyielding environments where flies might fail. Through anecdotes about fellow fishermen and reflections on the nature of success, he argues that one should embrace all aspects of fishing, including the “lowly” methods, in order to achieve tangible results. His narrative is both personal and philosophical, serving as both a guide and an encouragement for those who find joy in the simple pleasures of fishing, regardless of the methods employed.
