GEAR CASE AND LANDING NET. 131 



Dollond & Co. have produced an excellent field glass 

 for this purpose. It is very light, and can be worn round 

 the neck and kept in a side pocket when not wanted. It 

 magnifies some four diameters ; its cost is 505. 



This firm is producing the most excellent self-contained 

 electric light for the use of fishermen, motorists, etc. It is 

 very powerful, very reliable, and beautifully finished. See 

 page xxvi. 



GEAR CASE. 



The " Dee " tackle case, invented by Mr. Bryes Leake 

 and sold by J. Bernard & Co., is one of the best all- 

 round cases I have seen. It is made of the stoutest butt 

 leather, fitted with a spring lever lock, and is divided into 

 a variety of trays and compartments, specially designed 

 for the salmon and trout fisherman. It is light, strong, 

 and well arranged. 



THE LANDING NET. 



The landing net should be of such a description that 

 it can be unhooked, opened, and extended with one hand, 

 as it should be used whenever a fish is landed. It should 

 be carried, when not in use, well out of the way and yet 

 in the most handy position, and the web of the net itself 

 should be as high as possible from the ground and so 

 placed as to clear the brambles and other dangers.
