THE ANGLER’S 
BEST FLIES 
(continued from page 90 ) 
for tying trout flies are numbers 10 and 
11. (“New Style” numbers 5 and 4.) 
They are all right, too, for wet flies. 
Should you prefer to tie flies with curved 
bodies, you can use a modification of the 
same pattern which has an upturned shank. 
Two styles of Pennell Hooks 
For the largest bass flies, restricted to 
fishing wet, you can use Sproat hooks, 
which are very similar to the Limerick pat¬ 
tern but made of heavier wire. Get any 
of these in the bronzed finish. 
There is one other style of hook that 
the writer prefers to this down-eyed Lim¬ 
erick, and that is what is known as the 
Model Perfect hook, and it is made by 
Allcock, in England. It has a rounder, 
wider bend than the Limerick and this 
extra space between point and shank al¬ 
lows of a bigger bite and securer hold; 
it has also a very long slender sharp point, 
and the shank is nicely tapered, in the 
particular pattern we are noting, just be¬ 
fore it terminates in a very neat down- 
turned eye. On the whole it is light and

Model Perfect or Capt. Hamilton Hook 
very graceful, at the same time strong 
enough and very effective. A pattern very 
like it is stocked by Hardy Brothers, of 
Alnwick, England, under the name of the 
Capt. Hamilton hook, numbers 4 and 5 in 
this brand being the best sizes for all¬ 
round use. 
Tools. —The tools required in fly-tying 
are few and simple. They include a small, 
pin, vise which may be obtained of a dealer 
A small jeweler’s vise is needed 
in jeweler’s tools at a cost of about fifty 
cents. Get the kind in which the jaws 
are set by a thumb-screw. This you at-
