Finally We arc cautioned " not to be deceived

Another excerpt will indicate what careful
observation OF the habits OF flsh is indispsns-
able to successful angler. From whatever
depth trout may DO able to descry fly. Mr..
Wells has never soon reason to suppose they
can DO coaxed to rise to one from the bottom In
depths exceeding nine or ten feet That in

A fact within the experience OF every

him without touching the water at any inter-
mediate point However this may be. ono
thing seems certain. and that is that neither
