To R. B. MARSTON, Esq., Editor of ' The Fishing 

 Gazette,' this little work is dedicated in slight token 

 of the author's appreciation of his invaluable assist- 

 ance to anglers at home and abroad and of his 

 unfailing courtesy, and as a small thank-offering 

 for his kind encouragement in that my first literary 

 effort, a short article upon Brook Trout Fishing, 

 was published in ' The Fishing Gazette ' twenty- 

 six years ago.
