IN SEASON. 
BY GUY HERNE. 
This is the time for two pound trout, 
For six-foot leaders and gaudy flies; 
For flasks of whisky and bottles of stout, 
And for last year's fishing lies. 
This is the time for corduroy tights, 
For puggaree hats and tennis blazers; 
For sunburnt noses and blackfly bites, 
And for bidding good-by to razors. 
This is the time for the gentle bass— 
Bass in the bottle and bass in the water— 
For the traveling cap and the dead-head pass, 
And the tip to the Pullman porter. 
This is the time when wise men shun 
The salt water bore and the fresh water 
wrangler; 
This is the time for all sorts of fun, 
And the time to subscribe for THE ANGLER.
