PART II. 

 MATERIALS FOR ANGLING. 



WE come now to the second part of our work, which 

 treats on the materials of angling the instruments and 

 contrivances by which fish are usually caught and the 

 best modes of using and adapting them for different kinds 

 of fish. 



This is an important division of the sportsman's know- 

 ledge; and no small portion of his enjoyment is derivable 

 from his thorough acquaintance with it in all its various 

 branches. 



We supply the following list of articles for the full 

 equipment of a first-rate angler's establishment : at the same 

 time, we by no means intend to insinuate that the real 

 sport of the genuine enthusiast is necessarily dependant 

 on such a copious catalogue. Where economy or necessity 

 demands a more curtailed stock of materials, the energetic 

 and zealous angler will prosecute his favourite amusement 

 with ardour ; and invention and contrivance will, for the 

 most part, supply the place of a more formal and osten- 

 tatious assortment of implements : 



Rods for salmon and trout-fishing, trolling, worm and 

 fly-fishing, spinning the minnow and bleak.
