"HERE are two types Of trout
flies, one type designed to
catch fish and the other to
L catch fishermen. In this latter
class fall the more brightly colored
numbers, such as Red Ibis, Jock Scot,
Silver Doctor and the like. These
last two named items are excellent
salmon flies, but they seldom catch
trout, although they are tied in trout
sizes and plenty are sold.
When a trout fisherman sees a tray
of flies he has to buy some no matter
how many bills are piled up elsewhere,
and his eyes are caught easily by the
brightly colored numbers. Hence the
tackle tiers supply both kinds, the
duller, more realistic flies for trout,
and the bright ones for trouters.
There are q hundred WELL
known patterns on the market,

The Suits and Meade Cases.
WHILE the Derby candidates all
w over the country were speeding
up in their trials Saturday, the Ken
lucky State Racing Commission met
and accorded Dick Williams and Harry
Suits permission to see the May 8
classic.
Williams, former owner and
trainer, was ruled off the turf in
March, 1926. 1t was shown that
he, through Harry Suits, a very sue
cessful jockey at the time, had formed
a jockey ring. The money was placed
in the books throughout the country,
and no mistakes were made.
Don Meade, a Maryland favorite and
the last jockey of note to be ruled
off, was charged with conducting a
one-man campaign. He might not
have been so sure what horse was
going to win, but it was alleged when
he bet on some horse other than the
one which he rode that he saw to it
that his mount would be bit late in
passing the wire
The Suits combina ton, 1t is
alleged, waited until it had
mounts on the contenders in
race, and then decided which
should win.
Probably any one of the jockey
rings three or four horses could have
won. but any outsider that got toe
ambitious or could not be herded dur
ing the running of the race was
bumped, pocketed or carried wide al
the stretch turn. No chances were
taken on losing.
When the deal became too raw the
commission acted There were con-
fessions by the lesser lights, who were
suspended.
Williams and Suits, given life, y
hereafter will be allowed on Kentucky
tracks, but will not be allowed To
pursue their former vocations.

Of those snelled items which do

not have eyes.
Sooner or later the gut is going to
rot, and if there is no eye to which
you can tie your leader you're out OF
luck. Most manufacturers realize this
now, and happy to say, snelled flies
are seen less and less in show cases.
A handy thing to have along is an
extra piece Of gut size 2X or 3X, ac-
cording to the size Of your leader, and
about foot long. Tie this on to your
leader, and when you clip off a fly
you'll be clipping off the extra gut and
not your costly tapered leader. When
this is gone all you have to do is tie
on another piece.

Dry Leaders After Use.

4 THOUGH your leader box has two
4 pieces of felt padding, it does not
mean that leaders are to be soaked all
the time. They should be wet only
on the days they are to be used, and
if on trip of few days, dry them
each night. It only takes about three
days of dampness to make them soft
and weak, and too much OF this will
cause mildew.
Right now Maryland streams
are fairly high and rOily, and a
leader tapered to 2X is all that
is necessary, even on heavily
fished streams where trout arc
few and far between.
This same terminal tackle will serve
on most other occasions also, even for
dry flies. But if you want to carry
the thing a bit further when streams
are clear and you want your flies to
float high and dry, 9-foot tapered
to 3X is better If you can handle such
light stuff and can stand the strain
of losing a fish now and then.
There has been a tendency lately
toward longer and longer leaders,
some even going to IA feet. Well
there's always a better way Of doing
it, but so far we haven's joined the
ultra ultra circle.
We started al argument last season
in regard to blueflshing, trolling VS.
cumming, and before long may be
in the midst OF another. We have
always used a dressed line for both
wet and dry fly, but one Of the fellows
here in the Office for whom We have
great admiration as a fly fisherman
says he uses an undressed line for
wet flies, working on the theory that
1t casts less shadow.
Personally, we can't see that line
floating on top is going to cast much
more shadow than a sunken line, but
the subject is open for discussion.
