Contemporary reviews: "Mr. Hodgson's book is well written, well illustrated, and sound in teaching. His method closely fits his subject, and every page is suggestive. If he relates only a trifling incident, his style is such that our thoughts are carried far beyond the text." (The Guardian). "Mr. Earl Hodgson gives us a worthy complement to the book which he wrote about the Trout, and that is high praise. His style is crisp, incisive, and epigrammatic..No praise bestowed upon the facsimile reproductions of the most killing lures could be more extravagant." (The Morning Post).
