viii Preface. 



nation, so I have merely stated how I have been treated 

 by dwellers in town and country, including those who 

 are accustomed to have dealings with sportsmen and 

 travellers, and others inhabiting more remote districts, 

 where visitors are scarce and no fixed rules or tariffs 

 exist. 



The chapters in which are related the details of 

 various expeditions in quest of fish are intended to afford 

 some idea of what the angler may expect as regards 

 sport, and to describe Norwegian life in hotel, private 

 house, farm, and camp. In giving the names of the 

 rivers and districts in which some of my experiences have 

 been gained, I have adopted the suggestion of kindly 

 critics of "By Hook and by Crook," and I take this 

 opportunity to thank them and my readers for their 

 gracious reception of that work. Although the technical 

 illustrations are roughly drawn, I trust they may serve 

 their purpose, and, with the more artistic process pro- 

 ductions from photographs, convey faithful impressions 

 of sport in a sporting country.
