A great chemist laid down his instruments to write about trout. In the manner of old angling dialogues, Humphry Davy sends his companions fishing at Denham on a May morning in 1810, weaving natural history and quiet wisdom between the casts. A gentle, learned favorite of the riverbank. Spend a few unhurried days fishing in fine company.
