DANIELL'S METHOD OF CAD-FISHING. 211 



These baits may be conveniently carried for use 

 the maggots and grubs in a round tin box with a per- 

 forated lid, the former among a little bran ; the caddies 

 in the bark cylinder before described, or in a damp 

 woollen bag with wet sand or moss ; the caterpillars in 

 a perforated wooden or pasteboard box, or in a small 

 horn, closed at the large end with a movable wooden 

 plug bored with air-holes ; the slugs in a tin or wood 

 box with damp grass ; and the screws in a small can of 

 water, from which they may be removed as wanted with 

 a small muslin bowl-net, like a tea-spoon. 



The late Mr. Daniell, of sporting memory, says, in 

 his " Eural Sports/' that a very successful method for 

 the capture of large trout is to attach a pair of wings of 

 land-rail's feather upon a fly-hook, and cover its point 

 with a caddis or maggot (of course a wasp grub or small 

 caterpillar would answer the same purpose) ; the whipping 

 of the hook to be armed with a bristle, as previously 

 directed, in order to prevent the bait from slipping off. 

 The maggot or bait used must be slipped over the head 

 of the hook until its head comes in contact with the 

 wings, when this mythological incarnation is then to be 

 cast up the stream, and allowed to be carried down by 

 the current (why not cast it into the head of the stream 

 at once, and follow down ?) beneath the surface towards 

 the pool below, from whence it is again to be very 

 gently drawn against the stream, at the same time 

 shaking the rod so as to give it an animated motion. 

 Two caddies may be used upon the hook at the same 

 time, in which case insert the point of the hook in at
