CHAPTER VII. 



ETIQUETTE OF LOCH - FISHING. 



DOLITENESS is politeness all the world 

 -*- over, and in loch-fishing it is particularly 

 to be practised. The gentle art is peculiarly 

 adapted for gentlemen, using the word in 

 its truest sense, and the true angler will never 

 be mistaken for anything else. In the Club to 

 which we have the honour to belong, there are 

 certain rules which would commend themselves 

 naturally to any one of us ; but in order that 

 these may be clear and well defined, they are 

 circulated annually, and are in themselves so 

 admirable that we cannot do better than quote 

 them :

 drifting, at a less distance than three hundred yards.
