Book of the Black Bass. 



The fly-books of Charles F. 

 Orvis have waterproof and mil- 

 dewproof leaves. They are 

 made in several sizes and styles. 

 They have improved metal clips 

 and a parchment band for 

 keeping the snells in position. 

 Their capacity is from four 

 dozen to a gross of flies. 



Fly and Leader Boxes. 



A new article is a combined fly and leader box of alumi- 

 num introduced by The T. H. Chubb Eod Co., which has 



an aluminum comb at each end for securing snelled flies. 

 The snells, together with leaders, are covered by felt leaves, 

 which are kept soft and pliable by the moist felt.
