TACKLE FOR TROUT FISHING. 
I wish to begin trout fishing but do not know 
what tackle to choose. Kindly give me your 
opinion on this subject. J. A., Detroit, Mich. 
For trout fishing you will need what is known 
as a fly rod, that is a rod having the reel seat 
below the handle. The rod should be of three 
piece construction, butt, middle joint and tip (an 
extra tip will come with the rod). It should 
weigh about 5 ounces and be from nine to ten 
feet in length, the guides being what is termed 
snake guides. An agate first and tip guide will 
help greatly in getting out the line and at the 
same time tend to lengthen the life of the line. 
Would advise you to purchase a bamboo rod. 
The steel rod, however, has many advocates, a 
special feature being, that it will stand knocking 
around to a greater extent than the rod of bam¬ 
boo and come back smiling for more. To an 
angler, a good rod is a joy for ever and an 
article to be well taken care of. 
You will need at least 30 yards of E size water¬ 
proofed line, either braided oil silk or enamel 
silk. This line can be purchased for about $1.50. 
In trout fishing, the reel is the least important 
of any article in your outfit. See that it is single 
action, light and just large enough to hold your 
line. A very satisfactory reel can be purchased 
for $1.50. 
Leaders used will be of single gut about six 
feet. They should be perfectly round and free 
from flat places. What is known as mist color 
is advocated and would advise that you have at 
least three. 
Flies are a matter dealing a great deal with 
the waters you fish. A great number is not 
needed. I would suggest the following, as what 
can be termed all round flies, Coachman, Cow 
Dpng, Parmachenee Belle, Silver Doctor, Mon¬ 
treal, Ibis and White Miller. 
With a leader box, fly case, creel and waders 
your outfit will be about complete. You will 
soon learn to add to it without suggestions from 
anyone. 
NEWARK (N. J.) PROVIDES FOR HER 
FISHERMEN. 
If you live in Newark (N. J.), and at the 
same time have a fondness for wetting a line 
now and then, you are twice lucky as both of the 
City parks, Branch Brook and Weequahic have 
good size lakes which are stocked yearly with 
Bass, Pickerel and both White and Green Perch. 
Other municipalities would do well to follow the 
lead of Newark.
