WEATHERS: ELECTRICAL DISTURBANCES 93 



We are not going to enter into more com- 

 plicated subjects such as the angles of re- 

 fracted rays of light passing through the 

 denser medium of water. But we cannot 

 help thinking that purely natural causes 

 may yet be discovered for the phenomena 

 connected with the surface-feeding of trout 

 and salmon. 



In the same way, and we believe for similar 

 reasons, or arising from similar effects of 

 light and reflected light, night-fishing for 

 trout is rarely, or never, so successful on 

 moonlight nights, and the best nights for 

 fly-fishing are dark nights not necessarily 

 dark, however, from cloudy sky. Besides 

 this, as we elsewhere point out, it is often 

 on such dark nights that a black fly kills 

 best. 



In a recently published volume of the Fur, 

 Feather, and Fin series on Salmon an 

 account is given of a remarkable day's salmon- 

 fishing, which we consider worthy of repro- 

 duction in this connection, when all the 

 hours at which each fish was hooked were 

 noted down an experience which finds 

 hundreds of parallels in all salmon anglers'
