FLY-FISHING. 5 



An inexperienced Angler will find some diffi- 

 culty at first in casting his line, therefore, he 

 must begin with a short length, which he 

 can increase as he finds he can more easily 

 manage it. 



It will be adviseable to practise throwing 

 your line without a fly at first, for the sake 

 of economy, for in passing the line behind 

 you if care be not taken that it reaches its 

 full length before you attempt to return it, 

 you will assuredly whip your fly off at every 

 throw. 



Practise till you can throw a considerable 

 length of line the longer line you throw the 

 greater will be your chance of success, both in 

 the size and quantity offish you kill.
