1 2 Scotch Loch-Fishing. 



Beyond the articles mentioned, the angler 

 should always have at hand the following : 



Spring balance, weighing up to 20 Ib. 



Small screw-driver. 



Small gimlet. 



Small bottle clockmaker's oil. 



Bottle varnish. 



Carriage-lamp, and candles to fit, for travelling. 



Two packs playing-cards. 



Good-sized flask. 



Flat glass or horn drinking-cup. 



Pocket-scissors. The kind that shut up will be found 



very useful. 

 Corkscrew. 



Hank of medium gut for emergencies. 

 Fine silk thread and resin. 

 Some common thin twine for tying joints of rod 



together. 

 Also articles named in Chapter V., p. 21, under 



" Trolling-Tackle and Lures." 



Many of these things may be considered 

 quite de trop ; but the longer one fishes, the 

 more one finds out that the little luxuries 

 give a vast amount of enjoyment for the small 

 amount of foresight required to have them at 

 hand when wanted.
