A leak can be patched by either inserting a rubber plug, such as is used for patching tires, or by a round patch put on with tire cement. The quick repair discs,

that fit both over and under the hole and tighten, are also handy. A temporary patch can be made with adhesive tape or canoe glue. Best of all, if the material will permit, is to have the puncture vulcanized by the garage man.

Outerwear

Jacket

The outerwear of the angler should be reasonably strong, weather-proof and inconspicuous. The latter points were quaintly brought out by Dennys in his oft-quoted verse:

" And let your garments russet be or grey, Of colour darke and hardest to descry; That with the Raine or weather will away, And least offend the fearfull Fishes eye."
