further detail, though the subject is far 
from being exhausted. 
It would be absurd for me to say 
that such and such a salmon-fly is the 
best for the Medway River. My ex- 
perience of close to forty years of fish- 
ing has proven that salmon will take 
any fly offered them when they are 
“rising” freely. I have used large 
sombre-hued Dee flies on the Medway 
in clear shoal waters with success, and 
at the same time and on the same 
water another angler was taking 
salmon on a No. 8 double hook Silver 
Doctor—absolutely two extremes. You 
can never account for the tactics and 
fancies of a salmon. 
POLLOWING is a list of the flies 
with which I have had the most 
success in fishing the Medway River 
under normal conditions: For May— 
Jock Scott, Wilkinson, Silver Doctor, 
Silver Gray and Mar Lodge, all on a 
single hook No. 1. June and July— 
Black Dose, Thunder and Lightning, 
Mar Lodge, Jock Scott, Fiery Brown 
and Admiral, Nos. 6 and 8 double hook. 
For grilse—Black Dose, Mar Lodge, 
Fairy and Hemsworth, No. 8 double 
hook. 
Some American sportsmen have in 
recent years been fishing the Medway 
with the dry fly and with remarkably 
good success. This method of fishing 
will add to the delight of the salmon 
angler, as much finer tackle is used. 
A great deal more could be written 
on the ways and means of angling for 
salmon, and I sincerely hope the above 
memoirs may be of some slight assis- 
tance to the novice who has yet to kill 
his first salmon on a fly. 



Choosing the Size of Shot 
(Continued from page 206) 
a shothole made by a No. 12 from that 
made by a No. 8, but not everyone 
could tell at a glance the difference 
between the holes made by 8’s and 9’s 
or 7%’s and 8’s, or even 6’s and 7’s. 
In a good many districts, especially in 
duck-shooting territory, 8’s were con- 
sidered so confounded small that little 
attention was paid to the possibility 
of 10’s, 12’s or dust being appreciably 
smaller, and consequently 9’s, 10’s, etc., 
helped to win a good many turkeys for 
thoughtful people to whom ballistics 
meant more than a rather mysterious 
word. It is undoubtedly true, how- 
ever, that in a humble but nevertheless 
a very striking way the old turkey
