CASriNG ARTIFICIAL FLIES 



is " flipped " back, up, and brought around in a 

 whiplash curve underhand, about two feet above 

 the water as the line straightens out. Skimming 

 the water as it does, the flies lightly fall on the 

 water, after the manner of the little disabled natural 

 fly we seek to imitate. We all appreciate this 

 great advantage in winning fish, besides it is artistic. 

 While we may not always successfully deceive the 

 fish, to be expert in its development is gratifying 

 to our vanity. The truly enthusiastic fly-caster 

 dearly loves his art, contenting himself with the 

 lawn, when nothing better offers, on which to 

 wave the beautiful combination of bamboo and 

 silver. To him and his tribe, our hearts go out, 

 he is of us surely.
