CHAPTER XIII. 



HOW TO DEESS A SALMON- ILT. 



The following implements will be found of assistance 

 in dressing hooks : — 



A table-vice^ to be procured at any tool-makers for 



about 45. Messrs. Hotzapfel^ of Cockspur Street, 



Charing Cross, London, sell a more elaborate 



pattern, but they are costly. 

 Two pairs of strong tweezers, made for the purpose, 



viz. to hold the whipping-silk secure during the 



process of dressing. 

 A fine pointed pair of scissors. 

 A few darning-needles. 

 A cabinet with plenty of drawers is handy to keep 



the fly-dressing materials, the feathers previously 



being packed in separate papers or boxes with 



plenty of camphor. 

 Strong card pill-boxes are good to keep tinsels from 



air and light. 

 Silk for whipping is best kept in wash-leather, and 



can be procured at the tackle-makers on long reels
