FLY-FISHING FOR TROUT I19 



up and at tension against the fish ; be careful and 

 deliberate ; never hurry the fish ; and, finally, never 

 lift the fish by the line, — use a landing-net, and 

 bring it up behind the fish, rather, than dive for 

 the head of the fish, as I have seen novices do 

 many times. If the fish is not tired out, let it 

 struggle until it is, and then you can use the net, 

 if you cannot do so at first.
