To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And yet this mishap occurred to one of the most skill- ful and careful gaffers on the river. The poor fellow hung his head for a week, but it was the last fish he lost. If it requires skill to always gaff a fish, it re- quires equal skill to always properly respond to a fish which leaps while the angler is playing him. To elevate your rod as the fish leaps, and to hold it at the attained elevation as he goes down, is to ahnost inevitably lose him. All that is necessary to be done at this suprem...ely exciting moment, is to let the tip of the rod descend with the fish. Digitized by VjOOQIC 132 PLEABUSE8 OF AN&LISQ. You thus prevent the strain and snap which must otherwise ensue. This movement of the rod at the right instant, under such circumstances, is the most difficult lesson to learn in the whole art of angling. No incident in the sport is more excit- ing than these salmon leaps. If you do not then preserve your wits you will most certainly lose your salmon. The lesson I learned in maple pool (of which anon) in this direction, was a lesson which I had to learn sooner or later; but the recollection of it will be a grief forever.
