, you may then add the fly and go forth 

 to capture your coveted prize. I consider Un- 

 stopping of the rod when nearly perpendicular to 

 be an expert's way of casting for salmon. Of 

 course there are many ways of getting a fly out 

 without endangering one's eyes, but the above 

 appeals to me more than any other. There is one 

 thing to especially tfuanl .-iirainst in salmon-fishing: 

 not to attempt long casts until you are perfect 

 with the short line. It has a certain fascination 

 for us all, so the habit is easily acquired. Even 

 experienced anglers are often too anxious to 

 throw a long line, and I must confess that I some- 

 times try to raise my salmon with the line well out, 

 although frequently failing in the attempt. One 

 will have better sport by remembering the follow- 

 ing rule: Throw only the length of line you can 

 throw well.
