ROACH-FISHING AS A FINE ART. 351 



repeat — no angler can call himself a roach-fisher who does not 

 fish with the finest and neatest tackle, keeping quiet and out of 

 sight the while ; who is not ready from morning to night to 

 possess his soul in patience, and — who never admits that he is 

 beaten, 



' E.EDSPINNER ' (W. Senior).
