The tip-cappoil flout is the li«-*t f«>r poiul-fishini^ niul for i;oiitl<' 

 strcains, as the lino is confined nt each oml of tho flimt l»y n cap. 

 which cimhios y«ni to strikf at a fish with i^rcatcr precision than with n 

 phiggeil float, whiili ]t.i> a wire riii',' at tli.' hottuin for the line to run 

 through. 



In shotting tho lino. I prefer a nniuber of small shot to a few largo 

 ones, OS they make less disturbance in the water. 



Your line must be shotted till not more than the cap of your float 

 is seen above the water, unless it should be very rough from wiml or a 

 rapid current, in whicli case something more of the float must swim 

 above water. 



Tlie porcupine quill is a favourite float with some anglers, but for a 

 moderate stream I prefer a swan s ipiill.

 socket in the handle — which should be four or five feet long —aiul a gaff" 

 or hook for landing .Salmon, Pike, or large Trout, may also be bought 

 to screw into the same socket, and both the net and gatf may be carried 

 in your basket or creel till you reach the river side.
