FOOTNOTES
[{1}] Too true, alas!
[{2}] It should be added that large trout, up to six pounds, are sometimes taken. One boatman assured me that he had caught two three-pounders at one cast.
[{3}] From motives of delicacy I suppress the true name of the river.
[{4}] After this paper was in print, an angler was actually drowned while engaged in playing a salmon. This unfortunate circumstance followed, and did not suggest the composition of the story.
