FISHERMEN -AND FLIES. 
WHEN the park lake fisherman, in fond an- 
ticipation, rolls his little lump of dough between 
finger and thumb, the small boys who have col- 
lected round him gaze with awe-struck faces and 
think, perhaps, of some day when they, too, 
shall sit behind a bamboo rod and have their 
dirty little lumps of dough. The bottom fisher 
himself contemplates with wonder the mysterious 
ways of the trout fisher, who, again, in his turn. | 
casts a look of commiseration toward his humbler 
brother of the duck pond whom the tame ducks 
But the angler of the trout stream 

worry so. 

is often far from being the object of such com- |} 
plete contentment that some may take him to 
be, for, even as the bottom fisher may aspire to- | 
ward trout, so he, the trout fisher, especially if 
he be poor, may nurse the hope that he will one | 
day land a mighty salmon, or have a gaff-armed | 
gillie, rugged of face and sandy-whiskered, to | 
do it for him. i 
Of all the articles of the angler’s faith, no 
one is held in such veneration as that which | 
ordains that certain flies shall and must be used § 
under given conditions, or in well defined areas; | 
which is to say, that the trout is possessed ofa 
deep knowledge of entomology and a fine dis- 
cretion in the matter of taste. 
that faith has been attacked, undermined, and 
denounced as a delusion, an unreal thing be- 
gotten of the tackle maker or the superstitious,

although Herbert Spencer went for it with his ; 
accustomed vigor, and bequeathed it to Mr. | 
Lang and others to finally extinguish, although 
most modern anglers. are heterodox enough to k 
t 
spell that faith with a small f, and to boldly con- 
tend that, equipped with half a dozen flies or ; 
so, one may, with proper skill, catch as many 
trout (or salmon) as he who invades the river 
side with the contents of a small tackle shop , 
and a section of his fishing library, the faith still | 
lives. f 4 
Few of us, when on a fishing holiday, can re- 
sist a pilgrimage to the musty little shop—gen- 
erally of stationery, ironmongery and fancy 
goods combined—over which the wizened, be- 
spectacled vendor of “local flies” presides. With § 
the patience peculiar to our kind we suffer the 
old man to discourse at length on his antique 
favorites, which, one by one, are tediously disen- 
tangled from a mass of others reposing in ay 
: t 
drawer or portmanteau-like wallet of great age. | 
There is a ready history attached to each pattern. fl 
Each one has its specified area of renown over} 
which it holds undisputed sway.

adaptability to the modds of the changeful ele-}, 
And as we duck our): 
heads under the tin fish which dangles over the), 
cobbled pavement by the way of advertisement, 
ments to recommend it. 
we have a speaking regard for what we have, 
heard, and determine to give some of the pur- 
chases a trial. The vision of one such “tackle! 
maker,” owl-faced, dilapidated, almost mothy—\, 
the sort of man whom one can never imagine), 
ever having been a boy—who with long, claw-| 
like hands once tied his own flies upon gut of 
his own manufacture, is a memory. one would in| 
these days unwillingly lose. He was nevet| 
known to fish, yet his knowledge of the art was;

bles noisily past the place where 
from the window of his dingy shop. 
Then there is another rustic celebrity in the| 
art—often as not a diminutive hunchback—who 
whether we ignore his faithful attachment tc 
‘Jocal” patterns and refute his arguments, whic} 
are so often opposed to every canon of scientific 
fishing, still catches fish. Who has not seen him 
making his way up stream, ever before us, mov+; 
ing in and out between’ the boulders with the 
jerky, impetuous gait of a water wagtail, whip:
