SOME NOTES ON 
FLY FISHING 
(CONTINUED from page 205) 
with single split wings ; they are 
neither wet flies nor dry flies, and 1 
consider them poor stuff indeed. A dry 
fly should have double split wings, and 
a wet fly should have its wings together 
and not split at all. 
There are a number of ways in which 
a wet fly may be fished, but they should 
all be under the surface at least a trifle. 
If one wishes to fish a fly floating on 
the surface one should use a dry fly. 
While the dry fly fished floating or sub- 
merged should always be cast up- 
stream, the wet fly may be cast up, 
across or down-stream. As a general 
rule, the first two methods are prefera- 
ble, however. I have more than once 
seen the time when a down-stream cast 
with a fly drawn up against the cur- 
rent was successful. 
In fishing a dead-water with a wet 
fly, a slight jumpy action is given the 
fly by causing the tip of the rod to 
tremble while drawing the fly in. Al- 
though a plain draw motion is practi- 
cal, I believe that the little twitchings 
make the fly more attractive. In fishing 
up-stream with a wet fly one’s chief 
object is to keep a tight line; rather 
than allow the fly to come down with 
the current, I usually draw it to me 
even faster than the water would carry 
it. In fishing across the stream, the 
best method appears to be to allow the 
water to carry the fly down in a sweep 
until it is directly below the angler, 
then retrieve and cast across again.

THE TARGET 
SHOOTER ON GAME 
(CONTINUED from page 214 ) 
must thoroughly understand the possi- 
bilities of his weapon. He must know 
how to aim, how to hold his rifle, what 
position to assume and how to manipu- 
late the trigger, so that at the instant 
of discharge his aim will not be de- 
ranged. Every one of these points calls 
for careful consideration and much 
actual practice on a stationary target 
before a rifleman is ready to proceed 
further with his practical education. 
W HEN the rifleman thoroughly 
understands the proper positions, 
methods of aiming and trigger 
manipulation when firing against a sta- 
tionary bullseye, he should proceed to 
the more difficult shooting with a time 
limit of, say, from three to five seconds 
per shot. Or he can stand at the firing 
point with his back to the target and at 
a given signal turn and deliver a shot 
against the bullseye in five seconds. 
There are innumerable variations which 
he can supply which bring in the time 
element and make good, practical prob- 
lems that will be of infinite value to him 
when shooting at game. 
If he has a companion he can set the 
target, or game figures, at ranges un-
