WADERS AND CREELS. 121 



influences of Anno Domini increase, it is best to take no 

 risks and to wear reliable waders. 



As the non-fishing months are many, you should send 

 your waders to the makers to be overhauled when the 

 fishing season closes ; you are then prepared in plenty of 

 time for the next fishing season. 



In wading, always remember to have a few holes 

 punched and protected (eyelet holes) in the sides of the 

 brogues near the sole; this permits of the water leaving the 

 brogues when the wearer is on land. J. C. Cording & Co., 

 of Piccadilly, whose waders, etc., I have always found 

 most excellent and reliable, have adopted these holes in 

 their fishing brogues for some time. 



BASKET CREELS AND THE FISHING BAG. 



Although basket creels have been generally improved 

 and are sold in greater numbers than the fishing bag, yet 

 the latter have become more popular, and in consequence 

 more extensively used. 



The advantages which the bag possesses over the 

 basket are as follows : 



They are neater in appearance. 



They are rainproof, less noisy, less cumbersome and 

 quite as light. 



The bag is not so prone to slip round and capsize its 

 contents when the wearer stoops.
