These worth-while directions might be added to in order to secure a greenish tint for fishing in the weeds. This can be done by using green writing fluid instead of the black, recommended above for obtaining the slate color. I do not believe in putting gut in hot solutions.

There are several knots to tie the short strands together; the best, in my opinion, being the single and double water knots as they are known in this country or the fishermen's knots as they are called abroad.
