84 FISHING TACKLE 



One of them is a tiny atomizer which is cleaner 

 to use than any bottle or other receptacle, from 

 which oil may find its way into one's clothing, 

 there to remain " for keeps." 



For floating a dressed line, use crude petro- 

 leum a drop on a piece of flannel is sufficient 

 to float the heaviest tapered line. It is also ex- 

 cellent for cleaning the line occasionally. Use 

 it sparingly, and wipe the line dry afterward. 



For wet weather purchase a fishing shirt. 

 These waterproof shirts, some of them, are big 

 and comfortable to wear, but may be folded 

 into a package not much more bulky than a 

 sou'wester. This head-piece is another handy 

 article to take along on day trips, unless you 

 wear a felt hat, which in itself is more or less 

 waterproof. I have been out all day in a down- 

 pour of rain many a time, but, clad in a sou'wes- 

 ter, fishing shirt, and wading trousers, was dry 

 and comfortable.
