It will identify you, 
hook a fish in any part of it, so it 
must be fished very thoroughly. (Two 
years ago, I “rose” three different fish 
in as many consecutive casts in this 
pool—two salmon and a grilse.) Start 
casting twenty-five feet of line, at an 
angle of about 45 degrees with the run 
of the current, keeping the tip of your 
rod pointing towards your fly and 
working the rod slightly, so as to give 
the fly a lifelike movement. When the 
fly is directly astern of the boat, make 
another cast to the other side of the 
river, repeating them alternately for 
three or more casts. Then lengthen 
your line six feet and repeat as before. 
While you have enough line that you 
can easily handle, you can thus cover 
every foot of the pool. Your guide will 
lower the boat down as you cover the 
water. When you “raise” a fish, al- 
ways wait until you feel its weight on 
the line. Then simply raise your rod 
to the perpendicular which is ample to 
fix the hook. Never strike at a “rise” 
in fishing for salmon. 
Should you “raise’’ a salmon and he 
misses the fly, possibly due to the fly 
traveling too fast across the current 
or for some other reason, it is best to 
“rest” the fish for eight or ten minutes 
before showing the fly again. Some 
fishermen advocate casting immediately 
over the fish again, but there would be 
no joy in the sport of angling if we all 
thought alike. 
ON hooking a fish, the first thing to 
do is to keep your rod well up and 
be prepared for a rush. A fish will 
often shake itself just before making a 
run, so look out for that movement 
and see that your reel handle is clear 
of your clothing or sleeve. When the 
fish somersaults at the end of a run, 
lower the tip of the rod towards it as 
quickly as possible and recover it just 
as quickly when the jump is over. 
Take your time, and never hurry a 
fish. They are not caught every day, 
and do not strain your tackle to the 
breaking point. Keep a steady pres- 
sure on your fish and it will usually 
work upstream. If you put on too 
much strain, the fish will go down- 
stream and that means pulling up the 
anchor and following with a _ good 
chance of losing the fish, especially if 
a big one. 
In bringing your fish to gaff, follow 
the old saying of “giving it the butt.” 
In so doing, you will never make the 
error of reeling your leader through 
the top guide of your rod. Your guide 
will be watching every movement of 
the fish and will advise you what to 
do, but only when necessary. It is 
well to obey his directions if you want 
your fish. 
In the above instructions I have only 
touched on those points most useful to 
the salmon angler, so I will not go into
