Excerpt from Hints to Anglers
The first great requisite in fly-fishing is to be able to throw the line dexterously. This art can only be acquired by practice. The error that most anglers commit, is; allowing their line to remain much too long in; the water. They allow it to float slowly down stream under the expectation that, in its course, he flies will come within the scope of some trouts eyesight; and that the fish will certainly be attracted by the lure, when once he has seen it. Now, in the earlier months of the year, that is, till about the month of May, this system of fishing may do well enough; indeed it is best then to fish down stream. The trout are neither so active nor so wary as they become, generally speaking, shortly after the month of May has begun.
