TROUT FLY-FISHING IN AMERICA 



During the winter months or the closed season for fly- 

 fishing leaders can be absolutely protected from deteriora- 

 tion by placing them in a large mouth jar of 95 per cent, 

 pure alcohol. 



The jar should have a tight cover to prevent evapora- 

 tion, and it should be kept in a dark place or covered with 

 a black piece of cloth. When the leaders are submerged 

 in alcohol it does not make any difference if they do touch 

 each other, as no injury to them will result.
