66 THE WONDERFUL TROUT 



basket in this way under adverse circum- 

 stances. A third way and where neither of 

 the above are found to be practicable is to 

 take Stewart's advice as conveyed on pp. 117- 

 118, and 'you will be more able to fish 

 properly' another time. 



An angler friend of experience writes: 

 'Yes; I have no doubt whatever, from ex- 

 perience, that the underhand cast is the best 

 plan for getting one's line out against, or 

 rather " under," the wind.' We have said it 

 is difficult to describe, as well as not always 

 easy to do, but perhaps the following may 

 convey the idea : The action is somewhat 

 similar to that of a round-hand bowler, when, 

 at the end of his swing, and keeping his 

 hand low rather below the shoulder than 

 above he attempts to put a 'break back' 

 upon the ball at the pitch. And in angling, 

 and attempting to dodge a flaw of wind, 

 the same motion, as when he tries to 'put 

 on a twist' from leg in cricket. But in 

 angling the whole action is not an entire 

 arm- action, but should be done by forearm 

 and wrist only.
