What to read after The Complete Angler (Classic Reprint)?

Notes at the foot of the page are a horrible nuisance, distracting the attention of the reader to the greatest degree. It therefore seemed better to lump them together at the end of each chapter in the shape of an appendix, and the reader can please himself whether he refers to them or not. If he only desires to read the prose - poetry of the text, he can skip the chapters in smaller type and if he turns to the book for practical directions, he can look at the appendices only. The arrangement, therefore, is this: A chapter of the text, and then an appendix containing, first, Historical Notes, chiefly from Hawkins, and referred to by the smaller letters in the text; secondly, General Notes by the Editor, referred to by numerals and third, a Practical Essay by the Editor.
