TACKLE Box AND TACKLE BOOK 



The angler who fishes entirely from a boat may use 

 a tackle box such as his fancy dictates but for wading, 

 space and weight make a tackle book desirable. This 

 is made long and narrow with many gusseted pockets. 

 In it one carries spare leaders or gut, hooks, scales, 

 scissors (handy for snipping gut) tape or ruler, sinkers, 

 split shot, swivels, oil can, connecting links, camera 

 films, stringer, repair kit, fly or mosquito dope, line re- 

 leaser, pliers, and all the other little knick-knacks that 

 anglers use or think they use. 



Accessories for dry fly fishing are mentioned in the 

 chapter on that subject.
