8o MINOR TACTICS OF THE CHALK STREAM 



weeded water in which to swim, or what not, 

 bridges seem to have a special fascination for 

 trout ; and if the fly (preferably a small sedge) 

 can be delicately dropped over the fish as if it 

 fell from the woodwork, the chances of getting 

 him are much increased. 



Trout seem specially watchful at bridges, and, 

 if the water be not too fast, will turn to take a fly 

 which is aimed to hit them on the tail.
