Many years ago I had in my possession a book for gut flies, 

 containing also the names and descriptions of the flies, taken from 

 Ronald's Fly fisher's Entomology, with the months for which they 

 were most appropriate a plan that, for the disciples of the " Exact 

 Imitation School," possessed advantages. Whether Ronald's fly 

 book is still " published" I am unable to say, but I do not 

 remember having met with it of late years. More recently a fly 

 book on an analogous plan was brought out by the then 

 angling Editor of the Field newspaper. This also is, I believe, 



FOSTER'S 

 NEW FLY BOOK 



now " out of print." Mr. Farlow, however, sells a book in all 

 respects similar, the name ot the author only excepted and more 

 recently still, Messrs. Foster, of Ashbourne, have registered, or 

 patented, two books on similar principles, the one for trout and 

 grayling flies, and the other for salmon flies. An illustration of 

 the latter open and closed is annexed.
