 varied slightly according to the size of the stream, or of

The worm is here shown in a curled-up position in 

 order to contrast more readily with Mr. Stewart's tackle, 

 but in actual work it is recommended that the worm 

 should, on the contrary, hang as straight as possible on 

 the hooks, which gives it a more natural appearance, 

 and is in every way much the more killing method.
