Fly-Rods and Fly-Tackle. 



Suggestions as Ho their Manufacture and "Use. By 

 Henry P. Wells. Illustrated, Pp. 364, Post 8vo., 

 Illuminated Cloth, $2.50. 



iS An epitome of practical information for the fly- 

 fisher. The following table of contents will give an 

 idea of the subjects treated.*' 



Contents. — Fish Hooks and t'\e Principles which 

 Govern their Efficiency . — HowFish Hooks ore Marie. 

 —Lines.— Leaders.— ReeU.— Pods and Rod Mate- 

 rial.— Rod -moling.— Repairs*— Casting the Fly.— 

 Flies and Fly fishing.— Miscellaneous Suggestions. 



Mr. Wells has devoted more time and attention to 

 the materials used in fly -Ashing than any person 

 we know of, and his experience is well set forth in 

 this most valuable book. ... The author is an 

 amateur rod maker who has experimented with 

 every wood known to rod manufacturers, as well as 

 ■with some that are not known to them, and there- 

 fore he is an undoubted authority on the subject. 

 This chapter and the one following which gives 

 directions in rod making forms the most perfect 

 treatise on rods extant. . . . 'Die book is one of 

 great value, and will take its place as a standard 

 authority on all points of which it treats, and we 

 cannot commend it too highly. — Forest and 

 Stream, N . "X . 



Since Tzaak Walton lingered over themes piscato- 

 rial we have learned to expect, in all essays on the 

 gentle art of angling, a certain dnintiuess and ele- 

 gance of literary form as well as technical utility . 

 Publisher and author have co-operated to meet 

 rtese traditional requirements in "Fly-Rods and 

 Fly-Tackle," . . . Mr. W r ells"s competence to ex- 

 pound the somewhat intricate principles and deli- 

 cate processes of fly-fishing; will be plain to any 

 reader who himself* has some practical acquain- 

 tance with tne art discussed. The value of the 

 author's instructions and suggestions is signally 

 enhan;«i bv their minuteness and lucidity .— V. )'. 

 Sun. 



A comp'ete manual for the ambitious lover of 

 fishing for trout. . . . All lovers of fly-fishing 

 should have Mr. Wells's book in their outfit for the 

 sport that is near at hand.— Philudelph ia Bulletin . 



An illustrated volume, elegantly presented, that 

 will make all anglers jealous of' possession until 

 upon their shelf or center-table. It is a book of 

 suggestion as to the manufacture and tise of all 

 kinds of fishing apparatus.— B oston Commonwealth.
