 rs Wye, 

 I who, 



as well as myself, have fished Ireland, Scotland, and 

 Wales, North and South. Most of our practice, 

 however, lay in Derbyshire. 



When I meet with an angler who has gained his 

 knowledge of the rod, and can make a basket on these 

 Derbyshire streams, I at once conclude he can kill fish 

 on any river in the world ; for I have proved beyond 

 doubt that these waters test the eye as to size and colour, 

 in dressing the artificial fly, far more than other streams.
