The book is dedicated to the Members of the Coquet-Dale Angling Club "with an earnest hope that the lines herein cast may perchance rise some stray Roxby or Doubleday of that honourable body, and induce an attempt to resume and continue the Newcastle Fishers' Garlands, so charmingly set forth by the spirits of a former generation."
