fly in a heavy wind. The tapered
line Is valuable because of its delicacy
in presenting a fly. However, IN
high wind it is hard to manage. Lines
are best purchased in 30yard lengths
and coated with a rubber composition.
The core should always be Of braided
silk, and for long life creased regu-
larly with any standard line dressing,
When out of use, line should be
removed from the reel and submerged
In a petroleum product.
The matter of terminal tackle, or
leaders, is important to all dry or wet
fly fishermen. The leader serves the
purpose of making invisible the con-
nection of lure with line. A tarered
leader is always best and the matter
of its color is the source OF much
discussion among fishermen. I have
found locally that gut leader treated
with silver nitrate and exposed in
the same manner as q film gives a
light brown effect that is quite in
visible in our small streams. Quite
naturally the leader with the finest
taper Is generally the best. However,
your tackle Is no stronger t1an It's
weakest point, which would be the
tip of the tapered end, so, K you are
not skillful, fairly heavy taper Is
desirable. In the fastest water, q
heavy leader is quite as effective as
a light one, inasmuch as the trout
Is not afforded any great length OF
time to inspect your offering closely
due to its excessive speed. II you
are using a 6 to foot rod. a leader
of not over AZ feet in length Is the
best. For the more lengthy rods,
leaders from to 9 feet are desirable:
Some of the more useful items OF
additional equipment found in the kit
of 'ye complete angler" are aluminium
boxes for hys. leader box for soaking
leaders, a combination gut shipper and
tongs to be attached on the coat.

waist-high waders or hip boots Foot
gear, as aforementioned, may be either
a full-length hip boot of light weight,
with either felt or cleated sole, or
waist-high waders with stocking or
boot feet. OF course, the cleated sole
or felt sole should be used. For fish,
ing in our fast mountain streams, with
round and very slippery rocks, the felt
sole is indispensable, as it practically
eliminates slipping. To top off this
outfit, I should suggest felt hat with
fairly wide brim 1t will be shower
proof and also act as a sun shade.
These items can be purchased at vari-
GUS prices, but the best always pays.
You will note that wool is the pre-
dominant material for the anglers
clothing, inasmuch as it has the virtue
of keeping one warm in the early
hours of the morning and also If you
should become wet by rain or falling
in the stream. it will keep you from
catching cold. This Is the secret Of
the north woods lumberjacks. The
next item of importance Is a creel.
The creel is usually made of whole or
split willow and serves q multiplicity
of purposes Personally, find that my
creel is useful for carrying my lunch,
extra tackle, bottle of city water Gas
stream water is not usually safe to
drink, and, incidentally. fish. A split
willow creel has an additional virtue,
If well made, of being able to with
stand fairly violent falls. One manu-
facturer has been making a de luxe
creel that. has built into its lid an alu-
minum tackle kit that is available in a
jiffy by single catch, and that there
fore makes it nicely that, although
expensive, Is highly serviceable.
The actual tackle itself we will now
take up in the order of its importance.
First the rod. 1t should be made of
split bamboo and can vary in length
from to 9 feet and In weight from
2 to ounces. Personally, have
found that for our fairly small and
quite brushy streams nearby, that a
6Ea-foot 2A-ounce rod is ideal for
dry fly fishing. It will handle COM
fortably so feet of line. fish up to
4 pounds in weight and has a re-
silence that is marvellous and adds
tremendously to your sport. even
though you hook the smallest of fish.
For dry fly fishing, select a rod with
a good deal of backbone; in fact, quite
stifish. For fishing with spinners or
bait, lively rod with lots Of action
should be purchased. also. . more

brook trout 10 inches long on the same
lure.
Soon other anglers arrived, so we
walked upstream to avoid the crowd
and caught lots of small fish, using
dry fly. Best patterns were Fan
Wing, Royal Coachman, Black Gnat
and McGinty. I only kept the first
pair of fish that day. but what
beauties they were!

downstream and I up, fishing dry
fiys. Using varicolored spider f1ys,
landed, in rapid succession, four good
fish, 10 inches, inches, 7la inches
and inches, all brook trout. Just
before noon member of my party
came upstream and called me down
to large pool where the whole crowd
was gathered. There before us in the
crystal waters lay monster rainbow
trout 1872 inches long, tanning his
regal form laZily in the sunlight.
sat down to watch the action and
found there was none. The rainbow
refused all offerings, no matter how
well presented. This I learned had
gone on for more than an hour. As
the last angler gave up in disgust,
took my turn with many misgivings.
Casting carefully each and every fly
pattern in my kit. then turned to
spinners with not so much as p.
quivering fin for response. At last I
put on a battered wobbler, a red
and white trix-oreno. A cast, another
cast and the fish changed it's position
slightly. Noting his interest (or
anger) T started to work the lure d.
rectly toward him downstream. CIV
ing 1t every kind of seductive action I
could conceive. He appeared to be
annoyed and on the sixth cast he
opened his jaws wide and charged the
bait coming head-on. As he struck,
I set the hook hard with q flick of
the wrist and the battle started.
Three and one-fourth pounds Of
speedy rainbow trout on the slender
tip Of the baby two and one-half
ounce fy-rod is just plain dynamite.
His first jump at the end Of long
run shook me up violently. but some
how the light leader and rod held.
To make a long story short, he finally
came to net, and after being photo
graphed was returned to the water to
give some more sport another day.
He deserved his freedom, and, besides,
large trout are not the table delicacy
that their to 9 inch brothers are.
Oh, yeah, sez you!

accepted enthusiastically by brook

by casting red and white fly rod,

water and let it sink, working 1t in
with slow twitches of the wrist Sud-
denly, I am aware of a smashing
strike" and my tiny 2l2-ounce rod
pends double as my unseen quarry
takes line, making the reel click nois-
lily. My faithful companion, the cap
tain, with the first sound of battle,
comes on the run and we match wits,
the trout and !, he determined to
throw the hook or swim under the
protective alder roots at my feet, where
all would be lost, and to keep him
in the open water. Taxing the rod
to its limit, work my fish to the
surface. At last, glimpse Of his
size and color. A granddaddy native
brook trout! With shaking hands,
I lowered my net and prepared to
end the fight. On seeing the net,
brooke came to life with q violent
start that wound up in the alder roots,
his objective. Whereupon, made the
luckiest retrieve of my career and
finally emerged on the bank soaking
wet, line snarled, but triumphantly
holding 13 inches of real native"
trout. What fish and what a fight!

bottle with brush attached to stopper,

line dressing book for handy use,
bottle of redrying solution in which to
submerge drowned" fiys and remove
water from them; hook sharpener
and Of course a bottle opener. These
items, 1t would seem, could be con-
veniently packed into a single van.
Seriously, these accessories add greatly
to ones sport and are all invaluable
to the sportsman.
Nov some tips as to the fishing
itself are in order. In dry-fiy
fishing, fast stretch Of water, you
will find the brook trout lying on the
edge Of the current and in the eddies.
With few exceptions, large trout dur
ing the daytime hide under rocks and
are hard to lure from their lairs. In
our local streams you will find the
rainbow trout in the fastest water. and
in presenting fly I would like to
recommend that as little line and
leader be floated on the water as
possible for best results. This can be
done by holding the rod high in the
air, using short line and arresting
the forward cast prematurely, allow
ing the fly only to alight on the water
and travel downstream at the exact
speed of the current itself. This form
of cast can only be made upstream
and with dry fly.
In wet-fiy fishing, two flys are gen.
orally used, a wet fly on the end Of
the leader and snelled dry fly on the
first dropper loop. In fishing, 1t Is
well to move downstream and cast
across the stream itself, allowing the
flys to travel with the current. If a
fish strikes, he will do so at the point
where the end Of the line is reached
and the fly makes an arc downstream.
If no response is forthcoming. retrieve
your line in jerks and the dry fly on
your dropper will skip on top of the
water, attracting fish that otherwise
would not strike. Fly and spinner
combinations are fished in the same
manner and returned upstream in
jerks and very slowly. This is essen
tial to success.
Worm fishing is. of course, easy in
early season, as the Garden Hackle"
is O natural food for all trout, and
little skill need be employed. A few
pointers Of valtA would be to hsh down.

Only Oklahoma Lays

THE Bureau of Agricultural Eco

financial results of farm activities,
finds, after a survey of last year, that
in every State, with the exception Of
Oklahoma, farm income increased last

into Oklahoma's cotton crop, was
blamed for the failure to make prog
reSs.
In this section the average gain in
income over 1888 was set at l6 per
cent.
