Spring and Fishing 
are almost here — 
BOUT this time every year the old world looks 
NI awfully musty to most of us—nothing but bad 
weather and cold nights. What we wouldn’t give 
for a whiff of green things growing, a running brook 
—and some fishing gear. 
But spring will soon be here and with it fishing. So 
this is the time to get ready. Decide now what you 
need for the first day of the season.
