 tenants. 



If this kind of practice becomes general, the day is 

 not far distant when the opportunities for the free-lance 

 angler will be severely restricted, and he will be forced 

 to rely on club or hotel waters, as owners who let rods

 been published since the year 1939, and available copies 

 of that issue are now very scarce, with the result that to 

 obtain a second-hand copy is well-nigh impossible.

 mecum that I have made many endeavours to procure

 England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, except in those 

 which are too polluted to allow the fish to live in them,
