THE FLY FISHER'S GUIDE. 83 



The fish thus described are believed to be all 

 worthy the angler's notice, and are accustomed 

 to take the fly as their natural food. It is true, 

 instances have occurred of the pearch, pike, and 

 even eels, being taken with the artificial fly ; but 

 as such occurrences are uncommon, it would be 

 inconsistent to class them with the fish mentioned 

 in the preceding pages.
