I am very much pleased with the flies. They are 

 splendidly tied and are just what I wanted.

I never saw anything more life-like or perfect. 



FBANCIS M. WALBRAN, ESQ. 



As a fly fisher of more than fifty years, I have had very 

 extensive experience of Fly Dressing, and it is fairly due to 

 you to state that I have never met with flies better or 

 more artistically tied than yours, and I never miss an 

 opportunity of recommending your flies.

COBWEB DRAWN GUT WITH UNBROKEN SKIN. 



"Examined by the miscroscope the gut is much rounder 

 and more perfect in structure than any I have seen, also 

 smaller in diameter ; some of the lengths are 3-1 ,000ths of 

 an inch only. Its transparency is also very great, and there 

 are seen no fibres along the length, which is so common 

 with the ordinary drawn gut. Please send two more hanks." 



J. HAWKSLB.Y, ESQ., London. 



Dear Sir, I promised to let you know how those small 

 eyed snecks did among heavy fish. I am glad to find them 

 exceeding good ; so far I have had no accidents with them, 

 and I had some very heavy fish. Amongst others, I have 

 killed during the last four days six grayling weighing 151b., 

 the heaviest brace going a trifle over 5-lb. All these fish 

 have been killed on your cobweb gut, which is the best I 

 ever had a perfect marvel of strength and fineness com- 

 bined. Most of my fish have succumbed to the tiny Orange 

 Tags I had from you a fortnight ago, though the largest fish, 

 a three-pounder, came homo on a light Olive. The Orange 

 Tag is, however, about the best grayling fly it is possible to 

 use on a sunny day, and it will, in bright weather, frequently 

 do execution with trout. I hooked three good fish with it 

 in lees than ten minutes one day last week. 



Yours very truly, H. S. HALL.
