KLY-FISHINO. 40^ NOTE BY THE EDITOR. As nearly all the general teachings and maxims on fishing were ongmally denved from British authors, based upon Irish or Canadian expenenee, American fishemen have been compelled, (by the necessity of adaptation to heir large variety of lake or river fishing,) to make numerous alterations and improvements in the getting up of tackle, etc. Some slight mdicatiou of these varieties will, it L presumed, b acceptable to our young sportsmen, while showing to our best bcal fishermen that American ingenuity is as expansive as our territory J^irst, then, we speak of ^* RODS. The General Rod, as it is aptly called, is of course the style most generally m use. These have five joints, mounted with either brass or German silver. The Trunk Trout, also has five joints, usually brass mounted; va- rieties are more expensively mounted and have hollow butts The Bass, somewhat similar, but not so varied, unless made to order. The Extra Fine Fly, four joints, German silver mounted, with extra tip, IS a great favorite among sportsmen. The Single Ferrule, four joints, brass mounted, with guide rings, and prepared for reels. * The Bamboo, four joints, brass mounted, fitted with pattat guides' some have only guide rings. * ^ The Cane, with either three or four joints. These have lancewood tips or not, guide rings or not, and are mounted for reels or not. The Walking-stick, three or four joints, with or without "screw ferrules, brass heads, ash butts, or lancewood tips. Some prefer the walking-stick style, when made entirely of metal and there are circum- stances which might justify the extra expense. The party using the rod is the best judge. I m I . I.
