LIMERICK SALMON HOOK. 



Besides the regular Limerick and Kirby hooks, 

 whose sizes and numbers correspond with the fore- 

 going plates, we have given on the cover of this 

 work a plate of " black-fish hooks," of different pat- 

 terns and sizes for bottom fishing also pickerel 

 hooks, the snap-spring hook, &c., with numbers and 

 explanations. You should examine the point and 

 barb of each hook to see that it is perfect, and file 

 it if it is not. Always have a small file with you.
