DEDICATION 



These lessons, rhymes and misfits were prompted 

 by experience within the basin of the beautiful 

 Potomac River, which, with its magnificent and 

 attractive tributaries, drains the wonderful Blue Ridge 

 Mountains. 



This effort is dedicated to my piscatorial friend 



WALTER S. H ARE AN 

 and his fellow associates 



of the 

 Blue Ridge Rod and Gun Club: 



Each and every one of whom is a hunter or a 

 fisherman, and, all of whom have done much to 

 preserve the beauties of the Potomac.
