FOREWORD 



The author has suffered, in common with the rest of his 

 countrymen, as a consequence of his inability to obtain 

 from the manufacturers of Great Britain many of the 

 fishing appliances he has patented. 



Owing to the popularity of the author's School for 

 Tuition in Fly Casting and Spinning, situated in St. John's 

 Wood, it has not been necessary to continue to advertise for 

 clients. His long continued success as an instructor of 

 Fly Casting, has brought into the field other instructors, 

 among whom is Mr. Reginald D. Hughes, one of his earlier 

 pupils. 



The author concludes by wishing a " taut line " and con- 

 tinued good health to his many clients and readers.
