as far from the stream as circumstances will allow.
Always throw your line from you—never whip it
out. Fly fishing is only suitable for pleasant weather.
The best time of day is early in the morning or just
at sunset. The line should be about half as long
again as the rod. It should be thrown up stream,
and let the fly gradually float down, and if possible
fall into the eddies where the fish is apt to retreat in
case of alarm. Let your line fall into the stream
lightly and naturally, and when you raise it, do sq
gently and by degrees.
In trout fishing with the fly, only a small part of
the line is allowed to be in the water. The end, 01

if you can get one, as the trout is extremely shy and
suspicious. If jou stand on the bank of the stream,
throw your line as far up as-possible, as you cannot

you are standing. If bushes intervene between
you and the stream, (which is all the better,) do not
rustle them or make a noise.
The usual length of a rod for tr outing is fourteen
