Hints for Young Anglers 189 



think of offering them to the trout, the 

 smartest fish in the world. Select only 

 those of the finest material and made by 

 practical persons. 



Your Shadow. Never let it fall upon 

 the water when angling; face the sun. 



Down-Stream. In wading a brook for 

 trout, walk dfowTz-stream, unless you are 

 fishing some broad, silent river. The 

 rapid, foamy water should be fished 

 down-stream. 



Damp Matches. Rub them on the 

 back of your neck or twirl them gently 

 in your ear. 



Fly Books. Keep the large, well- 

 stocked fly book in camp and use a little 

 book on the stream one that will not 

 bulge the coat pocket. 



Reel Position. The fly-rod reel should 

 rest on the under side of the rod below 

 the handle ; the bait reel on the top side 

 of the rod ahead of the handle.
