no CHATS ON ANGLING. 



and was a gruesome sight. So, leaving the three fish with the keeper, to 

 kipper or do what he liked with, I got into the dogcart and drove 

 home. Of course, these fish would not have come to the gaff in the 

 way they did had they been spring fish, or lately arrived in the water ; 

 but, all the circumstances being taken into account, the 21st September, 

 1900, will always recur to my mind as a real sporting day. Sundry 

 other salmon has this little rod accounted for, and it is as true as steel 

 and fit for any fight. 



Such incidents as these add very materially to the interest of sea 

 trout fishing, for, as I have said, you never can tell what your next 

 cast may produce. It is small wonder, therefore, that good sea trout 

 angling is so eagerly sought after and so hard to get. Your best 

 chance of getting such sport is to go a bit further afield, to the Shetland 

 Isles, the Orkneys, or somewhere a little out of the beaten track.
