deliver a smashing blow anywhere along the line over the longest practical 
vame-shooting ranges. The ammunition they use is not only of 3,000 f.s. velocity, 
but it has bullet weight enough to make it effective out where the game is. 
There is nothing else in its class for its calibers: .22, 256, 30 and .35. 
To see what a difference bullet weight makes in energy at long game shooting ranges, 
and in higher energy at the shorter ones, see the ballistics tables in our 148-page catalog,

BIG TROUT FLIES. 
I NOTICED Mr. Robert C. Lowry’s ar¬ 
ticle in the January issue regarding sal¬ 
mon taking small trout flies rather than 
the large salmon flies. My last year s ex¬ 
perience leads me to say that the larger 
the fly the larger the rainbow in the rapid 
stream where used last season. This fly 
was a new one to me in many ways and 
my friend was the originator, and the way 
this friend used it was a revelation to me. 
It was tied for brook trout and I saw 
him take- three brook trout in less than 
ten minutes with it (where I had failed 
with Silver Doctor, Cow Dung, Montreal, 
and Parmachenee Belle to get a rise). 
These fish averaged pounds. I was 
interested very much and as this angler 
was an old time friend he allowed me to 
see him tie this fly and showed me how 
to tie it. But I wanted to hook onto the 
big rainbow that infested this stream, so 
enlarged this fly by tying it on No. i- to 4-0 
hooks. The wings were white and brown 
or black and white with lighter colored 
bodies and floated beautifully. 
My fishing partner hooked a big rain¬ 
bow on one of these creations that carried 
him down over the rocks one-quarter of 
a mile and took 250 feet of line before he 
stopped him and finally landed him, weigh¬ 
ing eight and a quarter pounds. This 
stream ran from nine to fifteen miles an 
hour and in an ordinary salmon stream this 
fish gave all the fight a 40-pound salmon 
would. This fish, and most of them 
in that stream, are taken at night with a 
fly; but I declared, no more night fishing 
for me. So, contrary to local advice, I 
went after ’em at 10 A. M. next day. In 
less than one and a half hours I hooked 
seven rainbow and a speckled that weighed 
two and a half pounds. The first three fish 
came clear out the water and took this 
fly head on, and they made a rainbow cir¬ 
cle in the air. The first two took a salmon 
leader and a six-foot double gut. The 
third monster broke a 4-0 hook in the 
bend. The other fish I landed. Three 
rainbow were three and a half, five and 
a quarter and five and a half pounds. The 
three last looked like six to eight pounds 
each. I caught a number of rainbow up to 
five pounds after that, but was unable 
to land those big ones, although I hooked 
another one or two very large fish that 
with my equipment I was unable to land. 
I took a beautiful one a few days after 
I saw him rise, but the current was very 
strong so I -went below him and waited 
ten minutes when I began using the fly as 
a dry fly and fishing upstream, making 
short and frequent casts until I could reach 
this big fellow’s home below. I cast eigh¬ 
teen inches above him and he took it like 
a flash. Starting upstream with a rush, 
but the current helped out the little five- 
ounce rod and he started downstream, 
jumping clear of the water at least six 
or seven times before getting below me, 
but I gave him the spring of the rod over 
my right shoulder and in thirty minutes 
I had him in my net. A little over five 
pounds was his weight. A good rod with 
plenty of backbone, 300 feet of fly line and 
extra strong leaders and this big fly will 
give any one good sport in this stream on 
rainbow trout.
