THE ANGLER'S GUIDE. 89 



Thus we have spoken of the best methods 

 of angling for every fish generally taken in the 

 rivers in our country, with the exception of 

 trout ; and as trout-fishing may be considered 

 a department of angling peculiar to itself, it 

 will be found near the end of our book : not 

 placed there because it is of little importance, 

 but because we are aware that a great number 

 of anglers have not the opportunities of follow- 

 ing it.
