SUMMER HOME FOR SALE 
FOR SALE—BEAUTIFUL SUMMER HOME 
on shores of Lake Erie, Put-in-Bay Island, O., with 
10 A. fruit, including fishing and hunting rights; 
buildings worth the price asked; Price, $4,500. Dr. 
Wm. A. Ferry, 120 Wayne St., Sandusky, O. 
of up-, down- or across-stream fishing, the 
several methods each and all have the 
merit of being “simply immense.” It is 
frequently a matter of pretense, and often 
not the most insuperable proceeding for 
the fly-fisherman to overcome when the 
larder needs replenishing. Then he reveals 
an elastic conscience, according scant con¬ 
sideration to methods save that they be 
honest; and he does not pronounce the 
modest hard-w T orking worm beneath con¬ 
tempt. He still retains a wholesome re¬ 
spect for that humble friend of his boy¬ 
hood days, even though he spit upon it. 
E VERY angler should be able to tie his 
own flies and make his leaders, though 1 
he is not assured of greater returns 
on that account, possibly fewer. There 
may be an unpleasant day when you don’t 
care to fish; then a few feathers, some silk 
and worsted will help break the monotony 
of bridge and pinochle and cheerless; 
weather. If one is interested and intent 
on learning, he can find an instructor will¬ 
ing to teach him. If he be an apt scholar, 
the rudiments are easily mastered. Sixty 
minutes of instructions for the leaders, 
four or five lessons for the fly will suffice 
Although the technique is extremely sim¬ 
ple, your first creations naturally will noli 
be the ultimate word in flies, nor have the} 
beauty, symmetry and finish given by the 
professional tyer. But if you “try to pu 
in practice what you already know, yot. 
will in time discover the hidden things yoi 
now inquire about”; and then your flies 
will be pictures and beautiful ones, littl* 
matter what the subject. After becoming 
fairly proficient, your production ought te 
prove in strength, wearing qualities ano- 
efficiency superior to those you purchase 
I 
T HE Lord hates some species of quit 
ters, but surely has great love for th' 
pious angler who reels up when hi 
has enough, and never begrudges liberty t< 
the fingerling, believing in a modern ren 
dering of an old saying—“a fingerling trou. 
in the brook is worth two in the basket.” 
Here, begging a thousand pardons fo 
our assurance, let us suggest, if you havi 
landed a fish and decide if he is not dan 
gerously wounded to restore him to th 
river, handle him with womanly tendernes: 
and wet hands, for then you are less like! 
to rupture the mucous coating which pro 
tects him from parasites and disease. Aw! 
do not fling him back, but rather place hiri 
in the water gently as you would put th 
present high-priced eggs in a basket. Gran; 
him every chance for complete recovery 
If his gills are not lacerated, and the fl 
is carefully extracted, that same trout wi; 
call again—perhaps. 
The honest, conscientious angler believe] 
that the essence of good angling is not t 
catch too many. In all his actions he i: 
consistently humane, and despite his keen de 
sire to conquer, never fishes for count. H 
abhors that competition on a trout streat 
which proves only that one person may hav; 
more and longer bristles than another. 
A prodigious catch does not make a; 
angler; nor is it “How many did yo! 
catch?” but “How ” So quit when yc 
have enough, even though the fish are sti 
taking the fly, and verily you shall haY 
your reward; and “blessed shall be tl 
basket and thy store.”
