Introductory. 5 



where it snapped with me is the object of the following 

 chapters. 



The first portion of this volume is principally devoted 

 to the more technical matters relating to ichthyology and 

 angling in Norway, which I am afraid are somewhat dry 

 reading, and in the second portion I have endeavoured to 

 place before my readers descriptions of a few angling 

 trips, with the hope that they may convey some little 

 idea of the difficulties and the requirements of Norwegian 

 angling.
