ricana— of the Salmon Trout— taken from Yarrel— and of the Lake 

 Trout and Pike Pearch, from DeKay's Fauna of the State of .^New 



York. 



For the fidelity and excellence of the engraving, I am indebted to 

 Messrs. Bobbett & Edmonds, and Brotherhead, by whom, with one or 

 two trifling exceptions, all the cuts have been executed. 



To Mr. Conroy I have to record obligation for the preparation of 

 the fine specimens of various Trout, Lake and Salmon Flies, which 

 are engraved in this work ; and I take this opportunity of strongly and 

 cordially recommending him to all my friends and readers, as deci- 

 dedly, in my opinion, the best rod and tackle maker in the United 

 States. 



With these brief remarks, I submit the following pages to the cour- 

 tesy and candor of the gentle craft, and of the public in general, and 

 once again subscribe myself. 



Their friend and servant, 



FRANK FORESTER.
