COKE rh PREFACE It has been said that, if any man who has, for many years, followed some favourite pursuit, would record his past experiences, with the conclusions drawn from them, he might render service to those who come after him. This saying, in my opinion, is not only true generally, but applies specially to the sport of angling. There is so much that is unknown with respect to fish, their habits, and the best mode of catching them, that it is only by comparing the views of different fishermen that we may hope to arrive at any knowledge of the subject. Even so there will be a good deal left to guesswork. My first trout was killed about seventy years ago, and never having lost my love of the sport, I have, ever since, fished for salmon, trout, and occasionally for grayling, whenever an opportunity offered. Experience has certainly not been wanting in my case ; whether the inferences drawn from that experience are sound, it must be for others to decide. Should the following pages be of use to those of a younger generation, or of interest to sportsmen of more mature years, the writer of them will be amply repaid. jl; CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE preliminary ,1 i. stray remarks on habits of the salmon ... 19 ii. tackle 32 iii. management of the fly ....... 47 iv. sport on tweed and avon 84 v. other fishing methods 93 vi. sea trout 103 vii. trout 120 viii. the ilm . 149 i…
