TOOLS USED IN FISHING. 6 



Hooks. 



The old Kirby hook is now generally superseded 

 by the Limerick, which is considered the best fish 

 hook made. We subjoin the different sizes and num- 

 bers, which will be hereafter referred to in these 

 pages. In cases where we have recommended the 

 Kirby, you will find the size of that hook to corres- 

 pond exactly with the numbers of the Limerick. 

 The trout hook is used for the small fry, while the 

 salmon hook is attached to the tackle for catching 

 that fish, and also other large lake and river fish, 

 weak-fish, &c.
