EVED-FLY BOXES. 33 
The very general adoption of the Eyed-hook system has 
called forth numerous ingenious arrangements in the way of 
boxes for storing and carrying the flies. The following are 
amongst the best of these useful inventions, which in the cases 
of boxes intended for salmon flies are equally applicable to 
flies with ordinary gut loops. 
MR. ASHLEY DODD'S DOUBLE.EYED-HOOK SALMON-FLY BOX, (Farlow.) 
Japanned block tin, lined with cork. 8 inches long, by 4 inches wide, 
1} inch deep. The metal points shown in the cut represent so many fixed 
projecting ‘pins,’ over which the loop or eye of the hook slips. A slight 
pressure backwards then embeds the hook-points in the cork, the double 
attachment thus securing a firm ‘hold.’ For single-hooked flies this box is 
equally good. 
*PORTABLE’ SALMON-FLY BOX. (Malloch.) 
Japanned tin, Length, 8 inches ; width, 5 inches; depth, 1% inch. In this 
box each fly is secured by the head of the hook slipping under a ‘ notched 
steel spring. ‘
