FLY-CASTING TACKLE FOR BEGINNER 61 



Every other fellow in the game does that very thing 

 and if you develop into a real bug, you'll have your 

 u killers " as sure as shootin'. Whip a stream for 

 a few hours, trying every fly in your kit without a 

 rise, when the fish are " off,'' and then pick a fly at 

 the windup when they happen to be " on," and get 

 a well filled creel, and you will play that fly clean 

 across the board, until the same thing happens over 

 again with another fly. One well known fisherman 

 who carries in his kit an assortment of about a 

 dozen flies, admits that in the past five years he has 

 seldom used more than three flies and he is some 

 fisherman at that, not the porch variety. 



FLIES FOR THE BEGINNER 



For the eight patterns to go with the above outfit 

 let it be Coachman, Professor, Queen of Waters, 

 Cow Dung, Brown Hackle, Silver Doctor, McGinty 

 and Emerson Hough Buck-tail. This last named fly 

 is a new one to most trout fisherman, but it sure is 

 a killer. It isn't a very fancy looking cuss, just an 

 ordinary sort of a fly that doesn't shine up along- 

 side of the dainty looking feathery affairs, but to 

 those who have used it, it holds the first place in 

 their fly book, because it is certainly some creel filler. 



With the above tackle, Old Scout, you can have 

 many pleasant days on the trout streams and feel 

 that you are learning a game that has greater at- 

 tractions every time you play it.
