Mr. G. Holland, of Salisbury, makes a speciality 

 of floating flies on eyed hooks and cobweb gut,, 

 which bear an excellent reputation ; and my friend,. 

 Mr. R. B. Lodge, has lately invented a floating fly 

 with an air-tight body, which floats well and does 

 not get water-logged. If he can make it of a soft 

 material, not liable to be punctured by the trout's 

 teeth, I think there will be no doubt of its being a 

 great improvement.
