first, they may be just dropped in a run¬ 
way and allowed to float seventy-five 
feet, when you can lift the rod-tip, reel¬ 
ing sharply back to make the fly return, 
partly in the air, dipping the rippling 
surface on its way toward you. It is 
then that trout irresistibly rise to it. It 
looks a living insect that does not drag 
under water like the average dry-fly, 
giving an opportunity to those amateurs 
who are imperfect dry-fly casters to 
really practice the higher style without 
any fuss or previous knowledge. 
Another advantage is given even to 
the expert dry-fly man fishing the ap¬ 
proved dry style: the cork-body will not 
drag under wavelets and currents on a 
tight line or get waterlogged to sink be¬ 
low the surface. Of course, to make 
constant floating of the fly doubly sure 
I invariably soak the feathers in muchlin 
oil and let it thoroughly dry in the sun 
before I begin to fish, 'it is by far best 
to use only one fly on the tapered leader, 
large or small; you can cast one fly 
much more free and accurate and a 
greater distance; you can land the 
heavier fish better and with one fly only: 
there is less chance of affrighting the 
trout. 
The cuts of these four stone-flies, 
which are drawn natural size, will give 
the reader a fair idea of form and the 
difference in size. Longhorn begins to 
hatch early in April, though not till the 
end of the month does it appear abun¬ 
dant. It is next to the largest in size, 
being tied on No. 8 hook. When newly 
hatched its color is darker than those 
species which appear later. The May 
orange-stone is considerably smaller in 
size, tied on No. 10 hook and brighter 
in color with the shoulder in bright 
orange, a streak of the same color along 
the rich colored lemon body. Toward 
the end of May its flight is plentiful dur¬ 
ing afternoon and evening. The June 
brown-stone is the largest of the four 
tied on No. 6 hook with a thick body 
over an inch long. The general tone is 
[brownish orange with dark brown head, 
it will be seen in solitary flight over the 
water during the evening rise of many 
other species but is easily distinguished 
)y_ its slow flight and unusual size, 
I >eing larger than the gray or green 
irake. 
The tiny emerald, quite common 
hroughout July, is the smallest stone- 
ly I have yet seen and is tied on No. 12 
look. It is a beautiful little fly and very 
■ iffective in rising fish in hot weather and 
i o my surprise it attracts trout in June 
some weeks before the natural insect 
latches out. A curious feature of all 
j 'tone-flies is that they have several 
vhisks on tails in addition to horns on 
he head.

It is a grand and glorious feeling to 
KNOW that the electric lantern hang¬

or go out suddenly. 4-cell battery 
insures a strong light-averages 25 
hours of intermittent service. Just the
