TROUT AND GRAYLING. 69 
Angling is one of the most delightful of pursuits, a most healthy 
recreation, and one that calls into play all the best faculties of 
_mind and body; for nowadays, when rivers are so much fished, 
careful thought and a good deal of practice are necessary before 
one can become even a moderately expert fisherman. When 
sport is bad the riverside is a most pleasant place for a walk ; 
‘ omething new may be learnt almost every day, and Nature is seen 
at her best. To those who have never tried its pleasures, I say 
begin at once, and I venture to think you will never regret having 
followed my advice.
