FLIES : Page 127


The ethical question of using lures of such nature on a fly rod is something for each angler to decide for himself.

Fly Book and Box

Snelled flies are best carried in the books provided with some arrangement to hold the snells straight.

Eyed flies may be carried in the boxes, made for the purpose, with a metal clip to hold each fly. These

boxes vary as to size, form and finish — see any tackle catalog.

The angler who uses " bugs," wigglers and other bulky lures will have to find some receptacle, other than an eyed fly box, to hold them. A new fly book is ideal for the purpose. It consists of several leaves of a peculiar felt which holds the hook but permits it to be withdrawn instantly, without catching. In a book of this kind one can carry a number of the bugs and several dozens of the ordinary flies.
