" I would advise all experts to keep a well-filled fly-fcook. It is 

 a pleasure to experiment, and the educated eye takes delight in 

 looking at the varieties of colors, shapes and forms which the 

 skilled workman in fly-art has provided as lures for the speckled 

 beauties." George Dawson. 



" Fly-fishing and bait-fishing are co-ordinate branches of the 

 same study, and each must be thoroughly learned to qualify the 

 aspirant to honors for the sublime degree of Master of the Art." 

 Charles Hallock. 



" Americans have reason to be proud of the black bass, for its 

 game qualities endear it to the fisherman, and its nutty, sweet 

 flavor to the gourmand." Parker Crilmore.

" ' What flies do you most affect here ? ' ' Any, at times, and 

 almost all. In some weather I have killed well with middle- 

 sized gaudy lake-flies ; but my favorites, on the whole, are all the 

 red, brown, orange and yellow hackles, and the blue and yellow 

 duns.'" Henry Wm. Herbert. 



" The real enjoyment of camping and tramping in the woods 

 lies in a return to primitive conditions of lodging, dress and food, 

 in as total an escape as may be from the requirements of civiliza- 

 tion. And it remains to be explained why this is enjoyed most 

 by those whose are most highly civilized." Charles Dudley 

 Warner. . 



"Fish will frequently, although breaking freely, refuse the 

 fly, but generally a few will be misled, and occasionally one will 

 be caught." R. B. Roosevelt.
