A Word to Fishermen 



THOSE of us who fish in a 

 fair, well-bred and reason- 

 able way, for the purpose of 

 recreation and as a means of increas- 

 ing the table pleasures of ourselves 

 or our friends, may well regret the 

 apparently unalterable decree which 

 gives to all those who fish, under the 

 spur of any motive — good, bad or 

 indifferent — the name of fishermen. 

 We certainly have nothing in common 

 with those who lish for a livelihooc!,
