FISHING WITH THE FLY

By Charles F. Orvis and Others

“Together let us beat this ample field,

Try what the open, what the covert yield.”—Pope.

“Gentlemen, let not prejudice prepossess you. I confess my discourse is like to prove suitable to my recreation, calm and quiet. So much for the prologue of what I mean to say.”—Izaac Walton.
