340 THE DRY-FLY MAN'S HANDBOOK 



water preserved for fly-fishing should contain a very 

 distinctly worded clause to the effect 

 Fly. that fly-fishing only is permitted. 



When the use of salmon flies, 

 Alexandras or silver-bodied patterns is prohibited, 

 this should also be succinctly stated. On an essentially 

 dry-fly water, I think that a short note should be 

 added to the effect that fishing with floating fly only 

 is allowed 



It is well in the case of a club water to add a 

 request that all gates should be closed and that fisher- 

 men must take care not to trample down or injure 

 fences, stiles, standing crops, or grass in the meadows. 

 It is a prudent course to enact that no dogs are 

 allowed to accompany the fishermen, because farmers, 

 gamekeepers, and others object to their presence. In 

 the case of a water preserved by the lessee for his own 

 and friends' fishing, it should not be necessary to 

 insert these rules in reference to gates, fences, stiles, 

 crops, grass, or the presence of dogs.
