history of flies and fish. Not much more about fair 

 angling, but a good deal to unlearn as to the necessity 

 of using so many different patterns of artificial lures. 



If ever you are honoured by the privilege of 

 writing for the sporting press on angling topics, 

 confine your " copy " to your own experiences, 

 knowledge, and ideas ; you will then have a free hand 

 to write what you think proper, without being 

 subject to any charge of plagiarism. I have had 

 the great pleasure of doing so for forty years, and 

 can boast that I have seldom written an article that 

 was not published. 



And now I have finished my " advice " for the 

 present. A good many " beginners " have already 

 written to thank me for it so far, and 1 hope to 

 meet others by the riverside who may have profited 

 by the simplified teaching of " Eed Quill."
