Description
The Angler in Northern India is a detailed historical guide that documents fishing practices and locations across Northern India, extending into Burma and Baluchistan. Written by Skene DHU, this work provides anglers with practical information about prime fishing localities, beginning from the Nerbudda River and extending northward through various regions.
Originally published as a specialized manual, the book combines practical angling knowledge with geographical and historical information about lesser-known fishing destinations in colonial and pre-colonial India. It serves as both a functional guide for fishing enthusiasts and a valuable historical document offering insights into 19th-century leisure activities, regional geography, and travel in the Indian subcontinent.
This republication by Gyan Publishing House preserves an important piece of sporting and travel literature, making it accessible to historians, angling enthusiasts, and scholars interested in India’s colonial-era recreational practices and regional exploration.
