Shooting, Yachting, and Sea - Fishing Trips. By "Wild Fowler," "Snapshot." Second
Series. Vol. II. (Chapman and Hall.)—This volume contains the description of a variety of experiences which will make sportsmen envious,—sportsmon, that is, who are willing to put up with a good deal of discontent and hardship. A considerable portion is devoted to sea-fishing experiences, though the author generally contrives to combine some wild-fowl shooting with his fishing. Sea-fishing is a very fine sport, if it can be got at, but this is not easy. In the summer many parts of our coast are absolutely untenanted, and in the winter there are not a few conditions to be united before success can be counted on. For people who live the ordinary sedentary life of those who leek on fishing as a recreation, not an employment, it is a severe trial to sit for six or eight hours in an open boat in December with a stiff breeze blowing. Still this volume is worth consulting. For whatever is to be done in this way, there could not ho a better guide than this.
