ANGLING 



THE charms of angling are anticipation 

 and solitude. It takes much time and prac- 

 tice to become proficient, and you must be 

 keen and quick and have great delicacy of 

 touch to become a good angler. It culti- 

 vates quickness, self-control, and above all 

 things, patience. 



Angling is a sporting fight between you 

 and the fish and, as no two families of fishes 

 fight alike, you are matching your brains 

 and cleverness against the ingenuity of the 

 fish. 



It also cultivates a habit of observation 

 which is so necessary if one would enjoy life 

 and nature, and it takes one to beautiful 

 rivers at nature's most attractive season 

 when there is so much that is interesting to 

 observe both in bird and in plant life.
