Everything about Fishing. The Legendary Gift Encyclopedia

The legendary encyclopedia by Leonid Pavlovich Sabaneev — one of the most prominent popularizers of zoology of his time — will occupy a special place among the precious tomes in the family library. A renowned hunter and fisherman, Sabaneev served at the Imperial Court as a chief equerry (head groom), and had a deep knowledge and love for the nature and wildlife of Russia.
This encyclopedia is the result of fundamental work — it compiles everything that was known about fishing in those times, much of which is still relevant today. Here’s everything an angler needs to know: fishing rules, secrets of increasing catch and storing caught fish in natural conditions during summer, helpful tips for pond owners. The publication features unique rare illustrations and diagrams of fishing accessories, and shares interesting facts about fishing in Russia and abroad.

In this book you will find:
• a fishing calendar by months of the year;
• descriptions of the most popular and rare fish species in Russia from perch to chub;
• advice on where, how, and what can be used to catch pike, bream, or perch;
• information on favorable natural conditions for catching different fish species.
