FISHING KNIFE 



Should be about four or five inches in the blade, with 

 a pick and tweezers ; the pick answers well to untie a

 they will serve to ford the river occasionally; and if 

 well supplied with mutton suet, with a little bees' wax 

 added thereto will turn water better than most other 

 plans, if they get hard, rub them well before the fire 

 with neatsfoot oil. 



FISHING JACKET. 



I prefer a dark or green colour, with inside pockets 

 in the skirt, of a sufficient depth, that your rod may 

 just go under your arm : two capacious outside pockets, 

 and two breast pockets ; it will necessarily be a toler-
