river during the winter months. As soon as 

 the weather becomes open in February, they 

 begin to leave the deeps and approach the rapid 

 streams, where they soon obtain vigour for the 

 summer sport. They delight in sandy and 

 rocky beds and pools, into which sharp and 

 swift streams run, and under shady banks, 

 behind large stones and in eddies ; in streams 

 where there are sedges and weeds in the spring 

 of the year. In the summer months they get 

 strange, and haunt the deepest parts of swift 

 running streams; they are found also at the 

 upper ends of mill-pools and weirs, under 

 bridges, and in the retiun of streams where 

 the water boils in deep places. At the de- 

 cline of the year they resort to the tails of 

 streams and deep water. 



They are in season from February till the 

 end of September. 



These few suggestions may benefit the young 

 angler by giving him an idea of knowing where 

 to cast his flies for them.
