afraid to cast your riy into the white 
water. Generally many trout lie below 
rapids, alert, waiting for food to come 
down. They generally strike the fly 
quickly and surely in the turbulent white 
waters. 
A ssuredly the best time of the 
day to fish for trout of any kind 
is in the morning, from six to eight. 
From three o’clock to twilight it is also 
exceptionally good. Most articles and 
trout books stipulate that you shall not 
fish for trout after nine in the forenoon, 
till four in the afternoon, because, sim- 
ply, the trout won’t strike. Yet is this 
true? It’s a foolish assertion, I hold, and 
the painstaking, considerate angler will 
get as many trout throughout the whole 
day as any time. I back this up, not 
with supposition, but the fact that I have 
consistently found the allusion untrue. 
It is quite useless to fish when the sun 
is shining bright on the waters, is an- 
other assertion. The fact of the matter 
is that the trout, having fed, retire to 
the deep pools and their cosy nooks to 
wait till they have digested what they 
have eaten, before making another sally, 
i Where waters of pools are shadowed, do 
not fail to cast your flies, or your baited 
, hook — even when the sun is elsewhere 
shining brightly, or whether it is around 
the middle of the day. 
The best days for trout fishing are the 
cloudy days, with very little wind, and a 
feeling, humid warmth in the air. 
Just before a rain the trout congregate 
in the pools below the white waters, 
ready to catch food that the stream 
will wash down when the rain comes to 
brush insects from the overhanging trees 
and bushes, and from the rivulets that 
trickle into the large stream later. 
Around the mouths of small rivulets 
and streams flowing into larger streams 
you will find them after a rain, for ob- 
. vious reasons. When you catch a trout 
in a pool do not get excited and make a 
disturbance in the water, by plunging 
i around and splashing. Rather lead your 
capture away from the pool, down 
stream, and there fight him to the net. 
I The trout in the pool will not then be 
1 frightened. Do not return immediately, 
but allow the pool to quiet down. 
A pool below white waters should hold 
ifrom fifteen to twenty good sized trout. 
I As to whether you should fish upstream 
I or down-stream, surely the former. You 
generally cast your fly upstream and 
. across. However, some anglers fish 
'down-stream in the morning, and come 
' back up in the late afternoon. This is 
I a good plan. Only: when fishing down- 
I stream it is best to work around a pool 
by land, and then fish in the regulation 
manner, upstream and across. 
The scientific and methodical angler 
makes every cast more or less count. 
The average amateur feels that he is 
loitering unless he has laid his line over 
every foot of water on the stream. When 
you reach a likely place, study it care- 
fully, diagnose its probabilities and pos- 
sibilities and act in accordance wuth 
your practical intelligence. For instance, 
1 1 once came across a fine pool below a 
I boulder. I had an idea that a trout 
was lying in the still water this side 
of the boulder. I, therefore, cast the
