Synopsis

Excerpt from Floating Flies and How to Dress Them: A Treatise on the Most Modern Methods of Dressing Artificial Flies for Trout and Grayling

Flies dressed on eyed-hooks float better and with less drying than those constructed on the old system. I am quite prepared to find some con troversy raised on the point, and hence would urge those who dissent from this well-considered Opinion to remember that in the case of the hook lashed to the gut by the waxed silk, there is in the body the additional weight of the gut itself, and, certainly, far more silk and wax, owing to the foundation of the body being increased in thick ness by the substance of the gut. This increase is even more than appears at the first glance, seeing that the augmentation in the diameter of the body produces more than lbrz'ce that augmentation in the circumference or quantity of silk and wax used in binding it.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
