can be done and the hook placed instead of the noose on the spring catch. Opposite
to the spring catches are provided studs or projections or parallel bars to which
the other part of the hook or fly.on gut can be attached. Our invention has, for
object keeping the hook or fly mounted on gut stretched between two points and
also to thereby render it simple for the fisherman to overlook his stock and pick
the fly or hook he requires. The case can also be made hinged with a bar accross,
so that its length is diminished.

Opposite to the said springs and catches are provided studs, projections or
parallel bars to which the other part of the hook or fly on gut can be attached.
Our invention has for object keeping the hook or fly and hook mounted on gut
stretched between two points and also to thereby render it simple for the fisherman
to overlook bis stock and pick the fly or hook he requires.
The cases can also be made hinged with a bar across, so that its length is
diminished.

describe how it can be carried into practical effect by reference to the accompanying
drawings.

hinged box is closed. To remove the fish hook on gut, the bar "G" is first taken
out of the slot g².
