An angler's reminiscences; a record of sport, travel and adventure, with autobiography of the author . fish, so that all may eat and be filled. It has promisedthem fish without legislation; and while it does not affect to despise state legislativeenactments as indirect aids to protection and propagation, it forbears to introducethe law into the hatching box. It declares, in effect, that hereafter fish shall be soplentiful that protective laws will be superfluous and that anglers shall enjoy theprivilege of fishing without paying for it. Such a consummation will remove alldisputes about riparian rights and take the gilt edge ofif from the eclat which at-taches to club membership. In the halcyon days of that coming anglers millenniumtrespass notices will not be any more required for private trout waters than theyare for hen-roosts. The occupation of the big bulldog will perish, and the lastexacerbated trousers-seat will be hung up in the National Museum as a mementoof the dampness which once hung around a fishermans luck. Note.— The foregoing chapter was written in May, 1S8S.— G. BROWN GOODE, FISH CULTURIST AND AUTHOR.
