272 RIGHT PRINCIPLES LAID DOWN* 



learner to bottom-fish. I might have thrown out 

 many other suggestions, amusing and speculative 

 rather than positively instructive, but I have re- 

 frained, because I know the reader will by and 

 by sufficiently speculate for himself. I have laid 

 down the right principles for him to build on, and 

 if he keeps them in view in all his angling-castle- 

 building, his visions may be pleasantly realised, 

 even on a sandy foundation. 



Much of the information embodied in this 

 chapter has been re- written from Elaine's " En- 

 cyclopaedia of Kural Sports," and Williamson's 

 " Angler's Vade-Mecum." The latter little work 

 is full of good practical points on bait-fishing and 

 trolling.
