THE ANGLER'S APPARATUS. 



From Hofland's British Angler's Manual. 



It is impossible to become a successful angler, without such a com- 

 plete and well-arranged assortment of tackle as will enable you to be 

 prepared for all times, seasons, and circumstances ; and a true brother 

 of the craft will find much to amuse him in the exercise of his inge- 

 nuity in making and repairing lines, flies, &c., and in the orderly 

 disposition of the materials of his art — of which the following is a 

 list : 



Rods for Salmon-fishing, trolling, spinning the minnow and bleak, 

 fly-fishing, and angling at the bottom. 



Lines of hair, silkworm gut, Indian weed, plaited silk and hair, and 

 patent line for trolling. 



Winches or reels for running-tackle. 



Hooks for trolling, on wire or gimp, for the gorge, the snap, &c. 



Bleak and minnow tackle, and baiting needles, of various sizes. 



Hooks tied on gut, from No. 4 to No. 12. 



Hooks tied on hair, from No. 10 to No. 13. 



Loose hooks of all sizes.
