Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... use it as a bait. The largest of these mullets did not exceed 4 inches in length, and I preferred one of 3 inches for bait. I found it best to spin near the surface, using no sinker. But my friends aforesaid, who are good authorities, Mr. Cyril Kirkpatrick and Mr. H." S. Dunsford, told me that Batchwa fishing differed with the season. In April they ran up to 1-Ib., but in May were in larger numbers at the Narora and Okhla anicuts, the bigger ones being in mid-stream, the smaller ones in the eddies, the smaller ones then taking a fly the size of a lake trout fly or bigger, say No. 9 to No. 4 Limerick, the bigger for choice, or a very small fish or spoon. So freely do the smaller ones take the fly that on a cast of three it is not unusual to take one on each fly. There is a curious consensus of opinion in favour of the bigger hook on the ground of giving a better hookhold, the Batchwa often getting off the smaller hooks. The recognised colours of the flies are orange and black. Batchwa are said to show sport from the 15th or end of March, though an odd few may be caught even in February, till at least the beginning of November, April and May being the best months, and possibly they may take after November, but deponent cannot say. They take in coloured snow-water, when Mahseer will not. On the ft S 4 2 f S." O b W C) O s P S W X I May, two rods, Mr. Cyril Kirkpatrick and Mr. Aldwell, caught in one afternoon 163, running about one pound each more or less. That is about 80 Ibs. each in a short Indian afternoon with no lengthening English twilight. You can hardly wish for anything much better. Generally the fishing is at the surface, using no sinker with your spinning bait. Only when the Batchwa do not show at the surface should you fish...

Book Description
Excerpt from The Rod in India: Being Hints How to Obtain Sport With Remarks on the Natural History of Fish, and Their Culture In my First Edition I sought the co-operation Of brother anglers. Kindly have they responded, some direct to myself, some through the medium of the Press. Many told me things that I had learnt myself in the interim: such matter is introduced afresh in this edition as my own, as it none the less is; but I thank correspondents all the same. Some told me things I did not know; such matter, wherever it appears, is honestly acknowledged by name or initial, both that the reader may know who is the authority for it, where I am at liberty to quote the full name, and also that he may recognise the advantage of the kindliness. All such communications as have been made direct to myself, and consequently appear for the first time in print, have been printed in the same type as my own matter. Such communications as have come to me through the Press, even though it may be kindly stated in them that they were penned in answer to my invitation, are, as extracts, printed in smaller type; partly to distinguish them from what is quite new, and partly to save my book from becoming unwieldy, not in any way to imply less value. Of these last communications I have had to clip some not a little because they repeated what was to be found elsewhere in the book. I trust I may be forgiven by the writers. I have enlarged the page so as to be able to present better plates, but I have not enlarged the type to suit. If I have sinned against printing rules in this matter it is that I may keep my book from being too bulky to be still an angler's companion.
