this article should be large at least six or seven 

 inches long by five or six wide. It should have 

 numerous pockets, and also divisions of parchment 

 to keep the tackle separate. Keeping flies in a 

 book squeezes and destroys them, and the preferable 

 plan is to keep them in an oblong tin box, which 

 should be from five to six inches long by four or 

 five wide, and which may be made with a division 

 in the middle and to open at both sides ; it should 

 also be furnished with slips of paper to keep the 

 fly- casts separate. 



Lastly, in regard to tackle, we advise anglers, 

 before putting past flies or lines, to dry them pre- 

 viously, and to have everything connected with 

 their angling equipment of the very best material ; 

 it will be found a great assistance to successful fish- 

 ing, and also the most economical plan in the end.
