bright green weeds. It was not the first or the 

 tenth time that my sunken Greenwell covered the 

 fish that one of them came ; but when he did there 

 was no doubt about it, and he joined number one 

 in the basket. Two more followed in a short time, 

 unable to resist the same lure. Then it seemed 

 to fail of its effect, though the river was freely- 

 dotted with rings, and after wasting much time 

 I tumbled to the situation, and changed to a 

 floating No. i Whitchurch — most effective of 

 Yellow Duns — on a cipher hook. The effect was 

 immediate, but I had put it off too long, and when 

 I looked up from basketing my third trout to the 

 Whitchurch the rise had petered out. But I was 

 not done yet. I changed to a Tup's Indispensable 

 dressed to sink, and, fishing upstream wet in 

 likely runs and places, I made up my five brace 

 before I knocked off for lunch.
