"In compiling this work ...I have endeavoured to divert from the usual practice as far as possible ...and conduct my friends on a sporting tour of the Highlands where ...sport is not taken too seriously, and at the same time, offering one or two useful hints on the theory and practice of casting a line on our Scottish waters". Salmon, sea trout, brown trout and a chapter on the freshwater eel. Most of the chapters were written by the editor but there are contributions from other authors, including a chapter "The Brig o' Dun Salmon" by D.J. Watkins-Pitchford.
