Angling regulations
’ Sir,—ln reply to B. Lover’s letter on the angling regulations, a trout can spit out an artificial fly when it discovers the deception, or can be returned to the water unharmed if hooked and landed; but given half a chance it will swallow a worm, and require disembowelment at worst for the hook to be removed, or will probably bleed to death if released. Preventing the fish from swallowing the natural bait and still managing to catch it is quite an art, and virtually impossible if you happen to be looking after those sausages that you have just put on the barbecue. — Yours, etc.,
GRAHAM GALT. October 20, 1983.
