Salmon fishing differs SO much from
trout fishing that it has been said an
absolute beginner at fly fishing will
learn to take SALINE salar more readily
than will a trout fisherman who tries
the nobler fish after years of practice
with the smaller one. This l doubt.
but I know that a very different style
of fishing is needed. There is really
40 such thing as '%'striking'' in salmon
fishing. and if YOU keep a tight line
and raise your rod as soon as you feel
the pluck" of the fish you will be do
ing yot; whole duty, and it will be up
to the fish TO do the rest. There is no
occasion for the swift strike by which
ono hooks a shy trout inclined to rise
a tritie short. The salmon is such q
weighty fellow that when he turns to
60 down after taking the fly his mo-
montum drives the hook above the
barb with very little assistance on the
part Of the angler. provided the line be
fairly taut.-CllarleS A. Bramble in

badly damaged ones as well. At IN
