Excerpt from Bottom or Float-Fishing

Owing doubtless to the rapidly increasing popularity of fishing of late years, there are but few waters on which the shadow of the rod or glitter of the bait is not more or less familiar, and as a consequence fish are everywhere becoming more wary and more difficult to catch. If, therefore, we would make as large baskets as we used to do, we must "subtilise" more and more our deceptive arts, so as to keep pace with the growth of fish-intelligence; and to this end the most obvious, and on the whole the most important means, is to be sought in improving and refining to the uttermost every part of our fishing tackle.
