It had been my intention to issue the second edition of this book in its original form, and to write a new work entitled The Science of Salmon Fishing ;but finding that theS cience fD ry Fly Fishing could with great advantage be revised, and that this revision would make it practically a new work, I determined, on the advice of a literary friend, to rewrite the whole of the trout fishing section, and to add to it the subject-matter which I had proposed to form into a new book. This consists, in the first place, in the life-history of the salmon, from the time it is deposited as ova by the parent fish in the redd until it attains its fullgrown state. I have ventured, when dealing with this interesting matter, to introduce some original theories as regards those questions which are still a subject of controversy. In the second place, I have dealt with the different methods of casting, and by plates and diagrams have endeavoured to show the various casts -for presenting the lure to the salmon, and explained the methods to be adopted when actually fishing.
