FLY-FISHING FOR TROUT I 19 



up and at tension against the fish ; be careful and 

 deliberate ; never hurry the fish ; and, finally, never 

 lift the fish by the line, use a landing-net, and 

 bring it up behind the fish, rather than dive for 

 the head of the fish, as I have seen novices do 

 many times. *If the fish is not tired out, let it 

 struggle until it is, and then you can use the net, 

 if you cannot do so at first.
