More fish are lost by jerking the fly away from them just as they are making up their minds to take it than in any other way. Salmon are slow, deliberate fish, until the hook really pricks them hard, and once the fish feels the barb, be is off at a speed that will drive it in more firmly than any fancy wrist motion of yours. Once the hook is in the fight is on. and may the best man win.—June OUTING. With a view to Increasing the comfort of passengers.
