CHAPTER XII. 



TACKLE FOR NORWAY. 



The angler who is accustomed to fish the large rivers of 

 Scotland and England would not find much amiss with 

 his tackle for use in Norway, but, as will have been 

 gathered from the previous chapters, Norwegian rivers 

 have their peculiai'ities, and consequently suitable tackle 

 should be selected. 



Anglers have their own ideas and preferences as 

 regards tackle, and it is here unnecessary to argue upon 

 the subject, so I will only describe the shape and make 

 of the articles which have given satisfactory results, 

 leaving the individual to modify in accordance with his 

 personal ideas and comfort. 



Wading-trousers and their attendant gear should be 

 provided, for although the particular river which a man 

 goes out to fish may not require them, he may meet with 

 invitations to fish elsewhere, or may take a higher beat 

 of his own river, and if he have them he is independent.
