Taking the “T” Out 
Lash Reel takes the “T” out of tangle 
and enables the unskilled to angle 
with the same success and exhilarating 
thrills the old-time caster gets from 
the sport. The delicate thumbing 
operation necessary with the ordinary 
reel is entirely eliminated when the 
South Bend used. Back-lashing and 
tangling are entirely done away with. 
There are over 25,000 satisfied users 
of South Bend Anti-Back-Lash Reels 
and as the reel is guaranteed without 
time limitation, one is safe when he in¬ 
vests in a South Bend. 
See a South Bend Anti-Back-Lash Reel 
at your dealer’s and be rid of snarls and 
tangles for the rest of your fishing days.

Reg. in U. S. Gt. Britain nQr Splices 
The Joe Welsh one-piece leader 
comes in five sizes, from a silk-gut 
thread of 4 pounds capacity, to the 
No. 1 size, guaranteed to stand a 
strain of 30 pounds. An eastern 
sportsman soaked a No. 2 size leader 
(15-lb. test) 48 hours, and applied a 
strain of 18 pounds without breaking 
it. Others write fish struck lures on 
this leader when refusing the same 
lures on ordinary leaders. It casts 
no reflected light. Its strength and 
invisibility were praised last season 
from Alaska to Florida. • Thousands 
sold and not one complaint. Leader 
is unaffected by climate or salt water.

Fishing Gazette. Fortunately for the ob¬ 
serving angler, different flies that are “on” 
(a hatch, or flight) together are generally 
dissimilar, as May-fly, Alder, and Black 
Gnat. Perhaps the above observation ap¬ 
plies more particularly to larger trout, and 
when flies are more abundant and the fish 
are feeding vigorously. Other patterns 
cast and recast may create the impression 
that those flies are passing in large num¬ 
bers. When the fish are gorged and apa¬ 
thetic, “heretical” or fancy lures may se¬ 
duce. 
The bodies of the artificials should be 
the color of the underside and sides of the 
natural fly imitated, the back being gener¬ 
ally darker, as it is the bottom and sides * 
that the trout sees.

FOLLOWING A FOR¬ 
GOTTEN FUR TRAIL 
(continued from page 255) 
learned a train for Manitoulin island was 
due in half an hour. 
It was a temptation not to be easily re¬ 
sisted. The clouds still promised rain and 
Manitoulin island meant a hotel, a hot bath, 
a dinner from china plptes, and a bed— 
luxuries neither of us had known for a 
month. Moreover, to clench our wavering 
resolution, at Little Current we could 
hire a motor boat to take us across Georg¬ 
ian bay to Collins inlet, the starting point 
of our return trip. So we flagged the 
train, shoved our canoe and dunnage into 
the baggage car, and five minutes later were 
in the smoker plying a couple of Indians 
in the olive-drab uniform of the Cana¬ 
dian expeditionary forces with questions 
about their life at the military training 
camp, while the little train sped over the 
barren flats out to Great island. 
Next morning a medical student, home 
from his vacation at McGill, agreed to 
take us to Killarney in his motor boat, and 
with our duffle stored in his lockers, the 
canoe trailing behind, we slipped across 
the big bay in the face of a misty rain. A 
pack of great part-New Foundland, part- 
collie dogs, the sledge dogs of the village, 
escorted us from dinner at the Killarney 
hotel to the wharves and saw us off for 
Collins inlet. The rain stopped, and we 
threaded our way among the maze of 
steep-sided, fir-crowned islands that fringe 
the shore of Georgian bay, reaching the 
lumber company’s mill at Collins inlet just 
before supper. We ate in the company’s 
clerk’s private dinning room at the “board¬ 
ing house” and ^vent gingerly to bed be¬ 
tween the thick grey blankets in two little 
cubby-hole bedrooms. 
Ahead of us now lay the route back to 
Penache, some forty miles over a trail used 
but once or twice a season by the rangers. 
We made a tracing of the lumber com¬ 
pany’s map—which proved to be a faltering 
guide—and set off bravely in the sparkling 
frosty air of a perfect Canadian morning. 
Our quest for adventure brought us our 
first mishap. The map showed plainly a 
long portage starting where the tote road 
bridged Mitchell’s creek; but there is noth¬ 
ing pleasing in the prospect of a mile carry 
and the stream was very enticing. We 
decided to stick to the water. Around the 
bend we came upon a doe and twin fawns 
on a sand bar. Around the next bend we
