THE 



BRAY FLY BOOK. 



It will be gratifying to anglers to know that 

 there is at last a, perfect Fly Book in the market 

 one in which flies may be attached as quickly 

 as they could be thrown into an ordinary 

 envelope, being at the same time perfectly 

 secure, and may be as readily detached. The 

 snell, regardless of its length, is at all times 

 kept straight (the advantage of which no ang- 

 ler need be told), and each fly stauds out so 

 that one can see in an instant his entire assort- 

 ment and select the one he desires. 



CHICAGO. 



Leaves to which flies are attached are of 

 flexible metal, and of a composition that will 

 not rust. Extra leaves of waterproof leather 

 covered with felt for a dryer. Pockets for 

 extra hooks, leadeis, etc. You should see it.

MESSRS. A. G. SPALDING & BROS., CHICAGO, ILL.: Ctnthiana, Ky , Sept. 25, 1885. 



Gentlemen— Agreeably at your request I tried your new "Hammered" Spoon Bait at Gogebic Lake, where, fi - om the scarcity of live bait of any kind, a trolling spoon becomes 

 almost a sine qua non at such times when the bass refuse to rise to the fly. The "Hammered"' Bait is a happy idea, for it is hardly possible to devise a more attractive iure, as all who 

 have used it can affirm. It is well and carefully made, has good, strong "hooks, and well deserves the great popularity it has so soon acquired. 



Very truly yours, J. A. Henshall.
