THE ANGLER S GUIDE. 



I 



Lea is lost in the majestic Thames, Fishing in the 

 river Lea is an excellent finishing school for Anglers ; 

 for the Fish are shy, and the water is fished by the 

 best and most experienced Anglers (which the less 

 experienced may daily see, mix with, and study) ; the 

 finest tackle is also used, and all that art and skill is 

 capable of, must be put in requisition to kill Fish in 

 this river, particularly in those parts nearest the me- 

 tropolis. The advantages that the London Angler 

 possesses; are the facility with which he can supply 

 himself with the best of tackle, baits, &c. and, also, 

 his frequently mixing with Anglers from different 

 parts of the empire ; the different modes pursued by 

 the Angler from the north and west are discussed by 

 the southern Angler ; of course, much information 

 may be gained by the attentive and inquiring lover 

 of the art. After attaining the practical knowledge 

 of killing Fish in this river, the London Angler will 

 find no difficulty in supplying his table, or that of a 

 friend, with Fish from any other river or water in the 

 United Kingdom.
