I have omitted, I think, to mention a little addition to the 

 bag or basket (most easily applied to the former) from which I 

 have found much convenience. It consists of two small extra 

 straps at the top of the bag or, better, attached to the webbing 

 supports in which a light waterproof can be strapped, rolled up. 

 This proved a feature though possibly not a new one in my 

 own bag, and I have since seen it fitted on several other fishing 

 bags and baskets. 



A ' seat basket,' with waterproof attached, is made by Messrs. 

 J. Ogden, of which an engraving is annexed. 



I usually have a similar arrangement attached to my cartridge 

 bag when shooting, in which case there is the further advantage 

 that the extra weight, such as it is, is generally carried by a 

 keeper or beater.
