red body, teal wing and red body, a large light dun fly 

 ribbed with silver tinsel, and Heckham Peckham. always 

 kill. These constitute a good useful range of flies, and 

 should be tied to undrawn gut, as Norwegian trout are not 

 so fastidious as those in England ; besides the rivers are 

 rough, running over sharp boulders, therefore drawn gut is 

 not suitable. For lake fishing have two or three sizes, viz., 

 Zulu, Heckham Peckham, black and red body, red palmer, 

 woodcock wing and red body, bloe wing and red body, 

 bloe wing and blue body, heather moth, mallard and claret, 

 teal and red, and many other Scotch loch flies will kill 

 equally well in Norway. For salmon flies take Jock Scott, 

 Durham ranger, black doctor, Benchill, Childers, and silver 

 doctor. A good supply is needed of three yard casting 

 lines to suit river, lake, and sea trout ; also a few T stronger 

 for salmon. Reels : Two reels will do for the three rods. 

 One of them should be about two and a-quarter or two and 

 a-half inches, with thirty or forty yards of No. 2 Canadian 

 line ; the other a small salmon or sea trout reel, to contain 

 no less than sixty or seventy yards of line, about No. 4 

 thickness. The latter can be used on the fourteen feet rod 

 or en the trolling rod, according to the fishing required; but 

 an extra reel sometimes comes in handy. Minnows and 

 Traces : It is very important that a proper set of minnows 

 and traces should be provided, as in many of the lakes it is 

 necessary to troll ; by using the correct pattern some of 

 the largest trout ape captured, and in many of the fjords at 

 the mouths of rivers fine sea trout and salmon are often 

 taken by trolling, and excellent sport it is, the fish being in 

 the primest condition and affording the best of play. Blue 

 and brown phantoms stand first on the list, the former colour 

 generally killing well ; Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are the most
