16 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE. 



with a bait or two in my pocket, I pass with- 

 out any one suspecting that I am going on a 

 fishing excursion : this rod, when put toge- 

 ther, will measure, about fourteen feet, which 

 I find generally long enough for trolling in 

 any water.

 &c. we will now repair to the river, and learn 

 how to cast a bait, and kill either Jack or 

 Pike. In the frontispiece the reader will see 

 the different modes of baiting hooks for trol- 

 ling, with the exception of the bead hook, 

 which is given below.
