To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In bright weather, when the water is low, another very successful method of taking trout is by means of a line, of about a yard in length, aflixed to a short stiff rod, which will facilitate the dropping of the fly between bushes, and under the roots of trees. The best baits are the stone-fly, green or gray drake, and the down- looker or oak fly, in their natural states; by means of which, if due caution be exercised as to keeping from the view of the fish, the angler will hardly ever fail to r...eap the reward of a handsome catch.

The history of this little fish, which is also distinguished by a great variety of other names^ as the Fingering, Pink, Gravling, Last-spring, Skirling, Forktail, Brandling, Shedder, Sampson, and Par, has not been hitherto explained in a satisfactory manner. They are only to be found in rivers frequented by salmon, and many are of opinion that they are all males, and are the dwarf or unnatural produce of the mixed spawn of the salmon and the trout: others that they are produced from the spawn of those salmon which, being pre- vented from regaining the sea, become sick, and incapable of the regular functions of nature.
