The fisherman is obliged to take them quickly by the head and tail, and to throw them ashore, when they are immediately caught by other men, who fling them still farther from the water.

If this is not done with great quickness and care, many of the fishes escape.

It is wonderful how these creatures can struggle themselves free, and leap into the air.

The fishermen are obliged to wear woollen mittens, or they would be quite unable to hold the smooth salmon.

At every day's fishing, from five hundred to a thousand fish are taken, each weighing from five to fifteen pounds.
