itself in this operation, it is formed into a little bend, and the lower hook is inserted in the same way about an inch or so above the tail. The points of the hooks are sunk in the worm, and it does not matter in the least about the shanks showing. Another way is to insert both hooks in the centre of the worm without bending it. Trout often seize a worm about the middle when they mean business.

And now it is high time to get on to our fishing. The first important matter to be impressed on the novice is to make it a general rule to cast more or less upstream, and to lift the bait when it comes down opposite his own position. There are some exceptions to upstream casting which will be explained later. The second matter of consequence I may call the general principle. Let us suppose there to be an open stickle or run, i.e., unencumbered by scrub, etc., of fairly equal depth from bank to bank, a few of which will be found on every brook. The angler takes post a little below the tail-end of such a run, and makes his first cast up into the lower part of the stickle close to his own bank, the next into the centre, and the third under the opposite side. Then, creeping up a yard or so, this process will be repeated, and so on until within casting distance
