left-hand illustration, which, 

 it will be noticed, is a figure 

 of eight, may be used. It 

 is neat and absolutely safe, 

 which is more than can be 

 said of some knots which 

 have been recommended for 

 this purpose. 

 In the case 

 of bass or 

 other flies 

 tied on ordin- 

 ary hooks and 

 fitted with 

 gut loops, two 

 plans of at- 

 taching them 

 to the gut 

 cast may be 

 followed. The 

 strongest, but 

 not the neat- 

 est, is to make a loop at the 

 end of the snood or 

 cast, put it through 

 the loop of the fly, 

 and then the fly 

 through the loop of 

 the snood or cast. 

 This may seem com- 

 plicated, but is really 

 most simple. The 

 result is shown in the
