A FEW HINTS ON TACKLE. IOI 



WADERS. 



For ordinary trout-fishing stockings do 

 very well. In purchasing waders always 

 get a good quality; they will last twice as 

 long as cheap materials, and give every 

 comfort. Immediately after use, they 

 should be turned inside out to allow all 

 dampness to escape, and are then to be 

 returned. Do not dry them near a fire, 

 but in the open air, or a warm, airy room. 



WADING BOOTS OR FISHING BROGUES. 



The most durable brogues are leather 

 soles, hand-sewn throughout, with riveted 

 nails and canvas uppers; they should be 

 made to lace up, in preference to straps 

 and buckles. Boots protect the waders 

 better than shoes, inasmuch as they keep 

 out the sand and small stones, thus 

 preventing chafing. 



Hand-knitted Shetland wool socks of a 

 heather-coloured mixture wear well.
