In this age of air travel the great fishing spots in the far 

 reaches of the Pacific Ocean have been brought close to the 

 United States, and an increasingly larger number of anglers 

 are availing themselves of the chance to fish these proHfic 

 waters. Offshore fishing along the v^est coast of continental 

 North America is also showing a tremendous increase in 

 popularity. From Mexico to British Columbia thousands of 

 salt-water anglers are fishing every day, and it is probably 

 safe to say that there is more salt-water interest in California 

 than in any other state in the country. 



Kip Farrington probably has fished the far-off Pacific 

 places— as well as the ones close to home— more than any
