48 ANGLING FOR GAME FISH. 



fish. The worm may be cast out, and allowed to lie on the 

 bottom, three or four shot on the gut, 1ft. above the hook, 

 keeping it in its place. I have no doubt that the up-stream 

 worm-fishing described in the following Chapter might be 

 practised with success. A good many anglers may be 

 surprised to learn that paste is sometimes a better bait 

 than worms in chalk streams. Wasp grubs are deadly, so 

 are caddis baits and gentles. 



I strongly advise every would-be fly-fisher to study the follow- 

 ing chapter as well as this; and, should his lines be laid in a 

 chalk-stream district, to read Mr. Halford's " Dry-Fly Fishing 

 in Theory and Practice." In the event of his becoming 

 interested in the vagaries of insect life, he may also study 

 Ronald's "Fly-Fisher's Entomology" with advantage, but should 

 not copy the artificial flies therein.
