THE FOLLOWING HINTS WILL BE FOUND USE- 

 FUL TO THE YOUNG FLY FISHER. 



Throw your fly as light as possible on the water ; which, 

 having done, immediately raise the point of your rod, 

 watching, with attentive eye, the direction your fly takes, 

 that you may strike the moment a fish rises : occasionally 

 you must, as the practical poet says 



" Upon the curling surface let it glide, 



With nat'ral motion from your hand supplied; 

 Against the stream now gently let it play, 

 Now in the rapid eddy float away."
