EEMAKKS ON 

 WORMS AND WORM ANGLING. 



BY THE EDITOR. 



LAIRD (bawling across stream) What are you doing there, 

 Jock? 



JOCK (with difficulty)~Fif&n ! 



LAIRD Fiffin? Oh, fishing you mean. And what's 

 that in your mouth ? 



JOCK Wo'ms fo' bait. 



LAIRD 0, you brute ! 



JOCK Weel, I might as weel have carried the brutes in 

 a flannen bag, maybe. Jest Book, 1760. 



WE have successfully practised worm-fishing 

 the surest of all fishing in clear water for many 

 years, and as our ideas on the subject differ some- 

 what from those of Younger, who does not appear 

 to have angled much with worm, we shall herein 

 note some of our experience : merely premising that 

 on a subject of this kind the tyro may find the ex- 

 perience of two anglers of more benefit than one. 



Worm-fishing generally may be practised most 

 successfully from about mid-May to the end of July.
