Trolling for Jack - drawn by Duncan, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Trolling for Jack - drawn by Duncan, 1850. In trolling, a rod about fourteen feet long is commonly used, with a stouter top-piece than is employed in fly-fishing, and provided with rings for the line to run through...the bait is cast gently into the water near to where Jack are likely to lie; and the troller, as he draws it towards him, athwart and up stream, should allow it to alternately sink and rise a little. As the Jack does not swallow the bait directly he seizes it, but makes off to some distance to pouch it, he should be allowed line freely. At the end of about eight or ten minutes, when the troller may conceive that the bait has been pouched, let him strike; and if he succeeds in hooking the fish, land his prey in the best manner he can, a matter of no very great difficulty, if his tackle be good, and the water free from stumps and weeds'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

Trolling for Jack
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing 19th century illustration drawn by Duncan, as published in the Illustrated London News in 1850. The scene depicts an angler, dressed in fashionable clothing of the era, engaged in the art of trolling for fish. With a rod about fourteen feet long, the angler casts his bait into the calm waters of an estuary or river. The bait, which is not swallowed directly by the fish, is allowed to sink and rise as the angler draws it towards him, allowing the fish to take it. The angler, patiently waiting for the fish to pouched the bait, strikes when he believes the moment is right. The illustration captures the essence of rural leisure in the Victorian era, with the angler's carriage boots and hat, and the peaceful countryside setting. The concept of trolling, which involves using a larger rod and allowing the fish to take the bait before striking, was a popular pastime during this period. The illustration provides a glimpse into the world of 19th century angling, showcasing the equipment, apparel, and techniques used by anglers in Britain. The intricate engraving, with its attention to detail, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life and the connection between man and nature.
