couragmg. And so, when after only 
five minutes of fishing, I hooked, played 
and creeled an eight-inch brook trout, I 
lelt that several seasons’ fishing under 
different conditions had not entirely 
atrophied skill and experience obtained 
previously. The fly was a No. 16 March 
Brown, tied with starling featherlets 
for wings. A cecropia gut leader and 
a three-ounce-split bamboo rod com- 
pleted the equipment. 
A rod of even this small weight I 
consider too heavy for fly-fishing where 
the stream is only moderately large, 
stubs and snags are infrequent, and 
where consequently the angler may 
safely pit light tackle and patience 
against the strength and gameness of 
the fish. 
We boast much of getting to lighter 
and lighter tackle, but the average ang- 
ler for trout and bass has much to learn 
from certain deep-sea fishermen, who 
employ a six or nine thread line, each 
thread holding a weight of only two 
pounds, and a rod correspondingly 
light, in catching fish ranging up to a 
hundred pounds or more. 
A season or two ago, I made up two 
bamboo rods, one six and the other six 
and a half feet in length, each weigh- 
ing about an ounce. Experimentation 
proved that the shorter would cast nice- 
ly up to thirty feet, and the longer 
about five feet more, and this with no 
loss of striking and hooking power. 
They were made in one joint, with de- 
tachable handle. Lightness was secured 
by the elimination of ferrules and of 
the heavy handle furnished by the pro- 
fessional rod-maker. Thus in one of 
these rods there was as much cane, and 
hence as much strength, as in a jointed 
rod of double the weight. 
One of these rods, equipped with a 
six-foot leader and a No. 10 fly, or 
smaller, was a revelation of ease and 
lightness in casting. Even a small fly 
did not go down with a slap, as a 
heavier rod would have thrown it. 
An unfortunate happening gave op- 
portunity to compare. Eight weeks of 
rainy weather and constant exposure 
would be a trying test for even a 
Payne or a Thomas; and had so weak- 
ened the three-ounce rod by softening 
the glue that the strain consequent 
upon the capture of a large brown 
trout caused a buckle just below the 
bottom guide. The heat treatment was 
tried by way of remedy, but the damp 
weather prevented success. After the 
rod was brought home, the wrappings 
were removed from that section, the 
glue was carefully scraped out, and re- 
placed by ambroid. Then this part was 
re-wound and re-varnished. The strips 
of the next split-cane rod I make will 
be fastened entirely with this material: 
— water-proof, oil-proof, tough and elas- 
tic, it furnishes the ideal method for 
properly securing a bamboo rod. 
The only other rod available for my 
use was of lancewood ; and, like the fool- 
ish character in the Iliad, I had ex- 
changed gold for brass. But the hoy 
of the camp had broken the longer 
feather-weight rod, and the shorter one 
had been given to him. Strange to say,
