APPENDIX A. 

 THE ANGLER'S APPARATUS. 



From Hofland's " Eriii^h Angler's Manual." 



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

 complete 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 ingenuity 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. 



Paternosters for Perch fishing. 



Shoemakers' wax and sewing-silk. 



Floats of various sizes, and caps for floats. 



Split shots and plummets for taking the depths of the water. 



Disgorger, clearing ring, and drag. 



Landing-net, a gaif, and kettle for live bait. 



Gentle-box, and bags for worms.
