A Word to Fishermen 





^HOSE of us who fish in a 

 fair, well-bred and reason- 

 able way, for the purpose of 

 recreation and as a means of increas- 

 ing the table pleasures of ourselves 

 or our friends, may well regret the 

 apparently unalterable decree which 

 gives to all those who fish, under the 

 spur of any motive good, bad or 

 indifferent the name of fishermen. 

 We certainly have nothing in common 

 with those who fish for a livelihood,
