In Search Of: The Vanishing Trout, Charles Lose

[nd1001]

After seeing mentions of this title on the forum, I’m interested in procuring a copy.

I can find copies online from large used book retailers for $250 (1931 first ed) and $160 (1993 reprint). Cheaper listings pop up sporadically.

Instead of using one of these sites which will take a considerable margin, wondering if any forum members would be willing to part with this title for a lesser price.

Thanks,
Noah

I'm fortunate to have a 1993 reprinted addition that I bought for $40 a number of years ago. Probably my favorite trout fishing book. I hope you can find one at a reasonable price.

Thanks! It has particular appeal to us PA anglers, but $160+ is a lot of cheddar :/

I have a 1931 first edition but it's not for sale or for sale cheap. 😉

Pick up in Limerick, 19468. We can figure out prices and prefer to bundle

Is it for sale for less than $250? There’s one listing on line that’s been sitting at that price for a while.

I was able to get it at a local library

Just curious, what is the fascination of the book, that's a pricey book. Must have some hidden secrets.

I paid WAY less than that for my copy and maybe that's another reason why I'm holding on to it.

I found it to be a very interesting account of how the fishing used to be in central PA "back in the day"

I learned to fly fish in north central PA, and still have great fondness for the area
And really enjoy historical volumes like this
