THE FLY-ROD FOR TROUT FISHING
THE Eastern brook trout, except upon rare occasions and in exceptional localities, is not to be taken save through the exercise of considerable skill on the part of the angler. Generally speaking, the factors which make a consistently successful angler, one who usually makes a pretty good showing except when the conditions of wind, weather and water are collectively or severally against him, are knowledge of the habits of the game-fish sought, patience, good fishing tackle, and a thorough knowledge of how to use it. In no form of angling are these things more essential than in fly-fishing for the speckled trout.
The acquirement of the natural history of game fish, the possession and exercise of care and patience, and the ability to handle tackle skillfully are, more or less, matters of the personal equation, supplemented, in the case of tackle-handling, by intelligent and faithful practice. Good fishing tackle is a matter of dollars and cents, and, naturally, knowledge of what is good tackle and what is not is necessary in its selection. In the long run the most successful way of taking trout is fly-fishing for them — when it is done rightly. The outfit for trout fly-fishing is composed of a fairly long list of various items, some of them apparently unimportant but nevertheless by no means to be overlooked. In trout fly-fishing it is the little things that count. Looking over the list of necessaries it is hard to determine just which of the different essential things is most important; but, logically, the fly-rod first calls for consideration.
