DESULTORY HINTS AND MAXIMS FOR ANGLERS.

When you see "excellent trouting in a romantic mountain district"
advertised in the papers, go somewhere else.

On arriving where you have reason to believe trout exist, inquire of
some rural angler which are the best brooks, and fish exclusively in
those he runs down.

In making a cast, throw your line as far as you can. The biggest fish
are usually obtained from the long Reaches.

Never angle under a blistering sun, nor with Spanish flies.
