in Florida on both hunting and fishing 
trips. 
The proper way to sharpen a machete 
is with a file, and not by grindrock or 
stone. This gives the necessary bite re- 
quired when cutting undergrowth, and 
produces an edge which will not nick. 
Needless to say that a kodak should be 
taken by every one going on a hunting or 
fishing trip, or, in fact, cn an outing of 
any kind. The pictures taken then will 
serve to remind you of the good times 
gone by, when the Snow flies and all 
seems dreary. There is a wide choice 
to select from, and everyone can suit his 
whims in the kodak line — if he has plenty 
of money. I like, and use, a 3 A. 
When a hunter goes on a trip he should 
keep a little diary of events transpiring 
each day. This will prove of great value 
in case it is desired to write up the hunt 
at some later date. I always carry a lit- 
tle note book and pencil with me, entering 
therein anything that I think may prove 
of value when writing up my trip. Jot 
it down while it is fresh. 
A FTER it is all said and done a great 
deal depends upon the hunter him- 
self, as to the success of his trip. 
Good luck is not always found on the first 
part of the trip, but he who pulls his belt 
up another notch and goes after it all 
the harder will surely be rewarded in the 
long run, than he who lets his bad luck 
cast a gloom over him and put a damper 
on his activities. 
With the right guide a hunter will be 
enabled to have a most enjoyable and 
successful trip into the Florida hunting 
grounds. There is a great deal of game 
there, and if the game laws were strictly 
enforced there would be much more. 
THE WAYS OF THE 
CRAFTY TROUT 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 169) 
it again and repeat, waiting each time 
until your back-cast straightens out be- 
hind, which you can tell by the tug on 
your rod. Never allow the rod to fall 
back over your shoulder, for that merely 
reduces your purchase on the cast. At 
each forward cast, add a yard more line 
by stripping off with the left hand until 
you have thirty or forty feet of line out, 
which is about all a beginner can man- 
age. All right; get this down fine, so 
that the line rolls out in front nicely, 
with the leader cascading over the end 
of your line and dropping the fly straight 
out ahead. 
You are now ready to learn the false 
cast. Simply aim for a point well above 
the water, and, before the fly has time 
to settle, lift it back so that it does not 
touch the water at all. In that way you 
can get out as much line as you can 
manage, without dropping the fly until 
you are ready for it. Accuracy is easy, 
with this length of line out, and even a 
beginner can land his fly inside a two- 
foot barrel hoop, anywhere he likes. 
Lift the rod high, on raising from the 
water, to avoid making a ripple with it, 
for such a ripple will scare down every 
trout in the pool. Later, when you have
