APPRECIATIONS : 



WILD BROOK TROUT. The 

 announcement of a new book 

 on fishing interests a class of the 

 community, especially those 

 confined to the cities, which is 

 increasing year by year. This 

 work depicts a trout fisherman's 

 paradise. It is from the same 

 graphic pen as The Wildfowlers, 

 and divulges many a secret of 

 the fisherman's craft. One may 

 learn from its pages where a 

 gentle creel of real wild brook 

 trout may be made in a morn- 

 ing's pleasant angling, "in 

 free and comparatively virgin 

 gameland a wild and naturally 

 beautiful country, embracing 

 all the charms of scenic splendor 

 for which the American brook 

 trout regions are famous, "and 

 its pages contain an abundance 

 of practical detail concerning 

 tackle and methods of casting 

 the fly, and playing and landing
