Excerpt from The Book of the Pike I come to you with another fishing book, not because of any particular fitness of myself for the task; rather, because there is so much need for the work. So far as I know, there is no American book dealing exclusively with the pikes, a family, by the way, which I think has not received its just due from the great host of anglers and angling writers. Of course the muskellunge has always been given an honorable place among the fresh-water fish of the world, but I undertake to prove that there is a place for even the despised pickerel in the ichthyic scheme of things; furthermore, that on suitable tackle he is a foeman worthy of any angler's skill. But read the chapter "The Little Pickerels." The reader will find the subdivision "Fly-Fishing for Pickerel" something of a revelation I am sure. Right here I ask the reader's careful and charitable consideration of any new and original methods of angling described or advocated. Do not judge hastily or without some experimentation along the lines suggested. In other words, do not damn me without something further than a hearing. Scientific diagnosis of species is gone into with some care, for the matter of when a pike is a great pike or muskellunge, and not a pickerel, is a question that is asked over and over again.
