TOGS FOR FISHERMEN 165 



are peculiarly grateful to my "thin skin." Do 

 not expect a miracle from any dope, for as said 

 there are days when nothing under Heaven, not 

 even pungent smoke, will discourage flies. 



In conclusion let me say, going back to the 

 subject of this chapter, it is a wise plan to wear 

 light woolen under-clothing even in hot weather, 

 for you are bound to sweat until your clothing 

 is wringing wet, and damp woolen will not chill 

 you as will cotton, should one of those sudden 

 changes of temperature take place, so charac- 

 teristic of the trout country. It is never the part 

 of wisdom to run chances, or to rough it when 

 you can smooth it. There are many points in 

 the matter of clothing which I have not touched 

 upon, many articles which I have omitted, but 

 I only hope that I have dropped a few sugges- 

 tions that will be of value to the trout fisher- 

 man.
