It is not necessary to wait for summer j nor for access to water, iu order to prau-tice casting. A housetop, a dooryard, or even the spacious floor of an old-fashioned barn, otters just as (»ood a chance for practice as a lake or river. Fly-Casting is a very simple movement and not a flourish. The elbow is kept down at the side, the forearm moving only a little, and most of the work is done by tho wtisf. Holding the rod by the "grip," the part of the butt wound with silk or rattan to assist the grasp, one finds that the reel, which is just below the "grip," aids in balancing the rod. The reel is underneath in caBtiu<{. After hooking a fish many anglers turn their rods so as to bring the reel to the upper tide, thus letting the strain of the line oome upon the rod itself instead of upon the rings. In holding the "grip" tho thumb Bliould be extended straight along the rod, as this gives au additional "purchase'"' For Ihe first cast, take the end of the line in the left hand, and bring the rod upward aud backward until the line is taut. As you release the line, the spring of the rod carries the line backward: This is the back cast. Then aomes an instant's pause, while the line straightens itself out behind, and then, with a firm motion of the wrist, helped a little by the forearm, the rod is thrown forward, and the line flies easily out in front. Begin with a

line once or once and-a half as long as , , r _ „ . _ , ,

the rod, and lengthen it out by degrees. PUBLIG AUCTION
