Bradford & Anthony. 



My invention consists in adding to a leader a re- 

 enforce at the several points where the upper flies 

 are to be attached, by which the size of the line at 

 such point is doubled, the result being that the wear 

 upon it by chafing from the loop of "t he fly-snell is 

 greatly prolonged, and the doubling of the leader 

 in the act of looping on such snell greatly facili- 

 tated. Heretofore, in looping the upper flies of a 

 cast about a leader of single gut, the latter soon 

 becomes badly chafed and its enameled surface 

 worn off. 



In addition to this it is difficult to hold the loop 

 of the leader in the act of looping the snell to it 

 sufficiently firm to easily accomplish the attach- 

 ment of the fly, as a single piece of gut is not 

 sufficiently rigid. By doubling the thickness of 

 the leader at the point of attachment of the fly I 

 avoid these objections. The drawing Fig. 1 repre- 

 sents a leader as heretofore in use. Fig. 2 is a 

 leader made in accordance with my invention, 

 while Fig. 8 shows the manner of looping the leader 

 in the act of attaching the fly. In these drawings, 

 A, Fig. 1, denotes a leader of silkworm gut adapted 

 to the purposes of fly-fishing for trout, or bass, and 

 as heretofore made, such leader being composed 

 of several lengths of gut knotted together, as shown 

 at 6 6, and the snell attached to the fly being looped 

 about the leader, as shown at c. In carrying my 

 invention into practice, I add to the leader A at one 

 or more points (according to the number of flies to 

 be used in the. cast in addition to the stretcher) an 

 additional piece of gut A , which I term a "re- 

 enforee," thus doubling the body of (he leader at 

 such points. This re-enforce may be added in 

 several, ways, but a simple and easy one is that 

 shown in Fig. 2, in which two adjacent ends of two 

 strands of gut are laid side bv side and knotted 

 together, as shown at a" d\ 



The easiest way to apply a fly, and the one gen- 

 erally practised, both with my leader and those 

 heretofore in use, is to double the leader into a loop, 

 as shown at e in Fig. 3. and then apply- the fly by 

 passing such loop e through the loop of the snell to 

 which the fly is attached, and after passing the fly 

 through the loop of the leader draw the whole taut, 

 as in Figs. 1 & 2. With a single gut the act of holding 

 the loop e and detaching the fly snell is often an 

 noying aud tedious, owing to the flexibility of tin 

 single gut. By doubling the re-enforce, as shown a. 

 Fig. 8, which is comparatively rigid, the detaching 

 of the flies from the leader is generally facilitated 

 in consequence. 

 All fly fishers will readily see the advantage there
