Uncle Roy's Corner
BY RAMON COFFMAN.

Fishing had place as a sport far
back in ancient times. 1t was fol-
lowed by the Egyptians, the Greeks
and the Romans. About 1900 years
ago, a Roman traveller described a
form ofyfly- fishing in this manner
I'm Macedonia runs river which
contains fish of speckled color
They feed on flies which hover about
the river.
The flies settle on the water in
search of their special food, and
are seen by fish swimming below.
A fish swims up and snaps the fly
down its gullet, like wolf seizing
. lamb, or like an eagle seizing a
goose from the barnyard.
Anglers try to catch these fish,
but do not use the natural flies.
They wrap dark red wool around
hook, and tie on it two feathers
which grow under the wattles of
q cock.
'Tne fishing rod is six feet long,
and the line The same. When the
tricky fly Is lowered, Ash is at
tracted by the color and rises to
seize the pretty thing. But on OPEN
ing its Jaws. the fish is pierced by
. hook and is captured"
That is the first record we have
OF trout being caught with artifi-
cial fly bait. In the centuries
which have passed since then, the
art of f1y-ishing has spread far
and wide.
The same Roman traveller wrote
down this account:

many had seen the great four
winged fly with its enormous jaws,
they did not connect it with the
biting, wriggling larvae found in
the water where aquatic insects and
plants are abundant.
Dobsons are known in many parts
of the United States and have ac-
quired various names, among them
conniption bug. water grampus, clip

crock. These names will give yo,,
some idea of the tough fellow used
for bait.
But the mother is large insect
with a wingspread of more than
inches. She possesses strong biting
jaws capable OF inflicting severe
pinch to the skin. The fathers
jaws are strangely modified and ex-
tended into long, curved piercing
organs. When not occupied they
are crossed. These weapons tend
to make him appear very dangerous
but. believe it or not, these have
been given him for the sole pur.

escape.

These chalky white dots cover

it takes on size and vitality it moves

stone by sturdy rear-end nippers,
the crawler, hidden from view, is
ready to reach out and capture
small fish and insects of any kind
that flow past. Breathing Is ac-

At last it is time to leave the

found to complete the final rites
before wings can be added. At this
stage the larva is dark slate color,

remains quiet for a month. Now
he becomes a pale yellow and gradu-
