The first American anglers practiced their art along the Atlantic sea board. Frank Forrester in the first American edition of Walton's " Angler " (1847) gives a detailed description of trout fishing on Long Island and the editor of that fine edition of Walton, Dr. Bethune, gives many illuminating notes on trouting in his day. Daniel Webster and many other anglers annually journeyed to Cape Cod, attracted by the good trouting to be had there.
