fly fisherman should continue his quiet 
upstream progress, with the very mini- 
mum of disturbance of the water, until 
he can cast with a short line into the 
swirls at the head of the pool. Here he 
will frequently meet with great success. 
And it seems to me that it is not un- 
likely that the fish have been disturbed, 
but only slightly, by the careful approach 
of the angler and have moved to the 
fancied security of the rough water at 
the head of the pool, where, if the wet 
fly fisherman’s coming is not advertised, 
he will take several trout and those the 
best of the stream. 
Late in July, last summer, with a 
stream very low and absolutely clear, I 
fished a pool on the upper Neversink 
River. At the tail I took nothing, but I 
saw several good fish move gently up- 
stream. In the middle of the pool I took 
a fine native, and continued upward, and 
so slowly that I came to rest for long 
minutes every twenty feet or so. Finally, 
I was within short casting distance of 
the rough water at the upper end. Here, 
before casting, I waited for what seemed 
a considerable time, but was probably 
not longer than five minutes. Then, one 
after another, I took five large trout, all 
within twenty feet or so of where I 
stood motionless. All were played as 
quietly as possible, and netted without a | 
splash, and after netting each fish I j 
I “rested the pool” for some minutes. i 
For a change from the endless arm ; 
' work of dry fly casting, wet fly fishing, if 
, rightly practiced, will be found quite as 
i productive in results as the more ad- 
' vertised mode. Indeed, with very low 
( water, the wet fly will achieve victories j 
1 which I doubt can be achieved with his 
dry and sporty mate.

is only a matter of minutes, you will dis- 
tribute the pots of foods along the irons 
proceeding as to the time required for i 
various foods, so that all will be finished ‘ 
about the same time. ' 
A black log or stone will be needed and 
the point at which this is placed will be 
determined by the direction and velocity 
of the breeze. The place for the spread 
1 is a diagonal off the fire from the wind, 
j not to \\pndward or leeward or you will 
draw smoke from the fire. Invariably j 
you will pitch your camp in a woodland i 
gully near a brook in order to secure I 
water. There is no cause for alarm from 
woodland streams in spring and fall for 
in these seasons they are always running 
fresh. 
In summer, however, if you do not feel 
I quite sure of this source of water sup- 
ply, you had better borrow from the 
nearest farm house. Since all of the i 
water used in cooking is brought to a I 
boil, there should be absolutely no cause [ 
for alarm. 
To hike in the country, you will have 
to get there first. Do not try to walk there 
as it is a waste of time. Go by means 
of automobile traction or steam railroad.
