It will afford you a fair test of your skill in lake-fishing if you can make a cast so as to lure one of those early risers to quit his companions and take your fly. You will rarely find any breeze on Sath-tal till about 10 A. M., and then it will be partial and only in cap-fuls.

For night-fishing, I would recommend the yellow spider or any large lightish colored fly in your book; failing those, a tag of a bathing towel will probably answer the purpose!
