Any one to whom a subject is very familiar takes it for 

 granted that every one knows the elements ; but that is a 

 mistake. In most affairs it is the broad considerations 

 that first present themselves ; the elements are seen to 

 afterwards. 



It is for this reason that Mr. W. Earl Hodgson has 

 followed up his volumes on "Trout Fishing" and " Salmon 

 Fishing " by " How to Fish," which is intended for 

 beginners in the sport, of whom each spring brings 

 thousands to the streams and lakes. In it, as regards 

 the brown trout, the sea trout, the char, and the grayling 

 all fish of the salmon-kind they will find knowledge 

 which, apart from teaching, they could acquire only by 

 many seasons of perplexing though delightful experience 

 on the waters ; scrupulous guidance as to rods and 

 tackle ; instruction as to where fish are to be found at 

 the various times of the season, of the day, and of the 

 night; detailed explanations of flies and other lures, 

 when they should be used and in what manner ; answers, 

 in short, to all soluble questions which the author can 

 imagine. The book is written in a narrative style, 

 directly from the author's experience ; and the publishers 

 are confident that, besides fulfilling the purpose of 

 being instructive to beginners, it will be of no incon- 

 siderable interest to those who are already proficient.
