POSTSCRIPT, 



The pleasure of receiving letters whose con- 

 tents have no odour of money about them, 

 and which often come from anglers at home or 

 abroad is one that all of us appreciate. I am 

 fortunate enough to belong to a small mutual 

 coterie who write periodically to each other 

 about our riverside doings or failures; and 

 should be only too willing to hear from new 

 correspondents especially such as are beginning 

 to take up fly fishing, either at the age of 

 twenty or forty if they think I am able to 

 be of assistance to them. The glamour 

 round my own angling apprenticeship has 

 never been dissipated. Days, when the total 

 bag was a lost half-pounder, are still delightful 

 to remember; and to hear about from one who 

 sincerely enjoys all the surroundings of the 

 stream and who realises he has much to learn.
