Dr. Downes and "Light Cast," in the last English Fishing Gazelle, suggest the following: "I would therefore snggest, for the purpose of carrying numerous flies of various patterns, a fishing boot, such as I have already recommended, the leaves being composed of thick woolen material, but modified as follows:—The book to be 10 in. in length by 5 in. in breadth. Within 1 in. of the top and bottom of each leaf a strip of cork to be fastened by glue transversely, into each of which the honkB of about sis flies could be inserted. Perforations in the slips of cork conld be made to receive the unattached ends of the lengths of gut, and thus keep them separate in their proper places, the length* of the book being sufficient to allow them to remain . straight and fit for immediate use. "The Messrs. Farlow have lately supplied a tin case, and made on this prin- ciple, for carry- ing flies dressed on eye d-hooks, which admirably ful611s the pur- poses for which it has been invented. I hope that the suggestion now made will prove useful to "F. M. P.," and that he will kindly try the plan of coiling casting lines fitted with flies around pieces of card- board to be ineert- ed between the Jeives of any fish- ing book, as by so doing he will ma- terially save both time and ; If '*F. M. ; will have round cards made to fit a round bos, though the shape is im- material, and four pockets stitched across each card— horizontally and longitudinally, di- viding it into four compartments — with a loop to lift the card in the centre, he will avoid what he complains of. Each pocket will hold half-a-dozen flits, and if four small pieces of cork are stitched to the edges to keep the trays apart, the flies will not be crushed. By this method a bos 3 in. in di- ameter and H in. deep will contain six trays holding twelve dozen flies. Devonshire. An inn —
