I had been fishing for four hours without a rise, when, coming to a huge pool below a magnificent waterfall, I noticed in a quiet eddy at the side of the torrent a sudden swell in the water, and a broad tail showed itself for a second and then disappeared. The fish was clearly a mon- ster, such as had never before, perhaps, been seen in the river. I gave him a few minutes to recover his position, and then cast. The line went out beautifully straight, and the fly hardly touched the water before ...the fish had it. With a flourish of his tail he went SALMON-FISHING BY PHONOGRAPH 127 down head foremost, but a second later, feeling the prick of the steel, he made one frantic rush, taking out 1 50 yards of line, and then leapt three times out of the water. Next he bolted with me for nearly two miles down stream. Sometimes I was swimming, some- times climbing along the face of the cliff, which came down to the water's edge. More dead than alive, I at last found myself outside that awful gorge, and more determined than ever to kill that fish, or be killed in the doing of it.
