Angling Sketches, published in 1891 by Andrew Lang, is a collection of essays and sketches that reflect on the art of fishing. Through humorous anecdotes and personal experiences, Lang shares his struggles and joys as a self-proclaimed 'duffer'—a less-skilled angler. The work captures the tranquility of nature and the enthusiasm for fishing, set against the backdrop of picturesque Scottish landscapes. Some essays were previously published in periodicals, showcasing Lang's candid and light-hearted approach to the sport.
