82 THE WONDERFUL TROUT 



below the angler's standpoint i.e. lower 

 down even under the most favourable 

 conditions of wind and water. 1 Perhaps 

 we do not know the down-stream heavy 

 wind may, in such a case, make that form 

 of cast, or ' point/ more favourable. But 

 why, we cannot at the time conceive, though 

 we may find out if we practise it, which we 

 intend to do. 



[Thanks to Greta for the tip, and though 

 unknown to me by nom-de-plume, by leave 

 we wish to send him ' greetings ' in all good 

 fellowship.] 



Sometimes it is useful to the angler to 

 know when it is wise to change from fly 

 to worm, or vice versa, especially about the 

 commencement of the worm season. A 

 simple way, and quite a good way, is to 

 bite off your tail-fly and terminal strand of 

 gut, and affix your worm -tackle in its place. 

 We have often caught trout thus upon both 

 fly and worm sometimes at the same cast. 

 In no ways do we find the action of the one 

 interfered with by that of the other rather 

 indeed an aid, if you keep the bob-fly on the 



1 i.e. in worming in fine water.
