fly is hard to cast in a high wind but a windy day has one compensating feature: the wind ruffles the water, making long casts unnecessary. Now, young Venator, I have imparted all I can to you and I regret that you haven't a more competent teacher. I am going to sit on yonder log and smoke while you go on down stream a ways. Be careful you don't hang up your flies, for fishes do not roost in trees — and good luck! FLOATING A STREAM Streams too deep to wade or with soft bottom or treacherous holes are fished from a boat which is a method having many attractions — a lazy man's and restful system. While I have had many a pleasant day fishing from a canoe the ideal river boat, from the comfort standpoint at least, is a flat bottomed one of shallow draft and generous width and stability. Such a craft permits one to move about and allows what base ball fans call " the 7th inning stretch." • However, unless one owns a boat he takes what the boat man has to offer and makes the best of it. |
