SECTION SECOND. 



OUTFIT FOE SALMON-FISHING. 



1 tent, either a marquee, wall-tent, or a common circular 

 tent. 



2 rubber blankets. 

 2 head-nets. 



1 musquito-bar. 



1 pair wading trowsers, water-proof and large. 



1 water-proof overcoat, large and light. 



1 oil-cloth coat and pants, to wear when fishing in the rain. 



2 pairs of pegged army shoes for wading. 

 6 " heavy woolen half hose. 



1 pair of heavy woolen blankets. 



1 rubber bag, large size.

 for preventing the secondary effect of swelling.

 toes and gnats begin their depredations at sundown and con- 

 tinue until sunrise. Your gaffer should fumigate your tent 

 every night before you retire with a smudge smoke. Both 

 the head-net and musquito-bar should be used every night. 



For constant wear, day and night, supply yourself with a 

 pair of woolen gloves extending near to the elbows, worn 

 over the coat sleeve and held up by an elastic strap ; or sew 

 a pair of cotton stocking-legs to the wrists of a pair of gloves, 

 either dogskin, buckskin, or close and thick woolen gloves.

 the year for all anglers, and even summer excursionists, were
