For instance, Miss Francis Short,

of her bluefish angling she hooked q

A FLY rod may be used for black
bass with little danger to the
equipment, though. As this seems %
be ladies' day so far, we'll tell about
the experience of Mrs. Walter Brun-
house as a case in point. She had
been taught the use of fly rods by
her husband, another wen-known

which measured exactly 16a4 inches,
and weighed about pounds.

fishing for rock, trout and hardhead,
only turning to heavier bamboo rod
and a drag reel when blues are in the

use fly rod for blues, but salt water
fishing is rather rough on that type
