The transparent winged Duns, and other artificials, are the most 



natural copies of the ephemerida and kindred orders of insects that the 

 angler-naturalist has yet accomplished. We are introducing them this 

 season for the first time. They are the result of many experiments, and 

 are beyond doubt an important improvement.

AN IMPROVEMENT ON GUT. 



A NEW DISCOVERY. 



The new Web Steel Fibre, by a new process, is drawn almost half the 

 thickness of the finest gut, and is annealed to the medium degree of 

 malleability. It in the fine size alluded to withstands a dead strain of 

 full 3lbs. weight (which is equivalent to a fish double the weight with 

 water, and a pliant rod as sustaining mediums.) No finest-drawn gut 

 will stand the weight named. This colour is the dull smoke-blue of 

 ordinary stained gut. When viewed at a distance of a few feet it is 

 invisible, Its chief value to the fly-fisher is for droppers, which, when 

 dressed on the Web Steel Fibre, never cling or entangle round the line. 

 They hang sufficiently pliant to enable user to fish in comfort. For 

 midwater and bottom fishing the new substance is as great an advance 

 on refined gut in point of strength, for bulk and thickness, as gut was 

 over the horse hair, and the Indian grass or weed of our forefathers. 



Flies may be had dressed on above at our usual prices for flies on gut.
