 been already fished. Continue across 

 and up the pool in this way until all 

 the water has been entirely covered. 

 You can readily see that the fly has 

 floated over nearly every square foot 

 of the pool, and that the casts have 

 been so made that no unfished water 

 has been disturbed. 



This is only a general scheme for 

 fishing a pool. It must be understood 

 that where distances in feet are given 

 it is only to illustrate a point, as the 

 distances between casts will depend 

 largely upon circumstances and will

 Apparently I have allowed for only one 

 cast at each good spot. But in practice
