Preface have permitted him to indulge in that passion to a greater extent and over a wider field than either time or opportunity would probably have allowed most anglers. He has taken every game fish that swims, from the southern borders of Labrador down to theD ry Tortugas, as well as in many of the great inland seas. During the last twentyfive years he has made careful and painstaking studies of the most approved methods to lure, and also of the habits of fishes. I believe we are on the verge of a revolution, both as to breeding and stocking, not only by the various States, but by private individuals who will take up fish culture as a commercial enterprise; while more advanced methods of taking fishes will be employed by means of better tackle and an intelligent use of it. It is over fifty years since the Jock Scott and silver doctor salmon flies were invented. Nothing in flies has been made since to equal them. On the other hand, marvellous strides have been made during the last twenty-five years in artificial lures, mostly remarkable from the fact that they are rarely imitations of living bait. Heretofore angling books have been almost entirely devoted to fresh-water fishes; in this volume the vast army of salt-water anglers may have information in compact form about their popular favorites.
