SIX BEST FLIES FOR EACH MONTH 



In order that anglers may not be overburdened 

 with too many flies for each month, I choose from 

 each monthly plate a carefully selected list of about 

 six of the veiy best, that are fairly representative 

 and will give the most successful results. 



While the five monthly plates represent nearly 

 one hundred varieties that were carefully chosen 

 from probably over five hundred different speci- 

 mens, I am of the opinion that this restricted list 

 should be known to the angler, that he may provide 

 duplicates and avoid confusion of many flies. 



Some anglers will consider that six flies are a 

 very limited selection to take along on a fishing trip. 

 They would be, were it not that each one is sure to 

 be effective, and that one fly may be successful all 

 day long — and perhaps for many days.
