DEFENCE OF UP-STREAM ANGLING 25 



Undoubtedly also, next to this method 

 ranks that of the scientific worm-fisher under 

 almost precisely similar conditions of sky 

 and water, but at a somewhat later season, 

 i.e. later in the summer. The second natur- 

 ally takes the place of the first when the 

 right season arrives. Fly-food is not taken 

 by trout after the proper fly-season ends 

 nearly to the same extent, nor with the 

 same eagerness ; and during the daytime, at 

 least, the best-conditioned trout and the 

 largest are sure to come at the worm if 

 properly presented under the correct con- 

 ditions of good angling and up-stream wind 

 and propitious weather, of which we will 

 have more to say. 



But, avaunt ! Observe a long exciseman l 



volume with that title, by H. C. Cutclifte, p. 110 et seq. 

 Excellent instructions also are to be found in How to 

 Catch Trout (D. Douglas, 1888), and in Fly-Fishing for 

 Salmon, Trout, and Grayling, by Edward Hamilton, M.D., 

 1884. Also, some wise truths can be culled from Pritt's 

 Introduction to his North Country Flies (1886).
