 sea trout. The life of a fish is traced in a manner very interest-

 the methods of angling for different fish will be appreciated by 

 fishermen old and young. As one of the most experienced of 

 American fishermen, Mr. McCarthy is able to speak with au- 

 thority regarding salmon, trout, ouananiche, bass, pike, and pick- 

 erel, and other fish which are the object of the angler's pursuit.

 diagrams. 



"The book compresses into a moderate space a larger amount of interesting 

 knowledge about fish and fishing than any other volume that has appeared this 

 season." — Chicago Tribune. 



"It gives, in simple language and illustrations, much that it will be profit- 

 able for our boys to know before they begin to lay out their money, and much 

 information that will be useful to them when they begin to go farther afield 

 than their own immediate local waters." — Outing. 



*' One of the handsomest, most practical, most informing books that we 

 know. The author treats his subject with scientific thoroughness, but with a 

 light touch that makes the book easy reading. . . . The book should be the 

 companion of all who go a-fishing." — Neiv York Mail and Express.
