Tackle Necessary to Start. Probably the best all round fly rod Yor all except the smallest of moun- ain brooks, is a split bamboo from @mine to ten feet, weighing from five to six ounces, my preference is the e and a half footer for general cast- | , with 25 yards of waterproof enam- teled silk line, size E or F, according! ‘%o the weight of the rod, E for the {heavier and F for the lighter one.

Peg down a newspaper or small loth on the lawn, take a position fac- | ang it, say 25 feet away, place the reel on the underside of the rod with the ‘handle to the right and keep it there at all times. Grasp the rod in the wight hand, reel under, with the thumb wtraight along the top of the grip— mever curved around the grip. Cast wut about ten feet of line letting it @all in front of you on a line with the target, with the left hand unreel about Wfteen feet of line—but do not pass this | @ine through the guides and out the | tip, but let it drop to the ground at yyour feet, retaining a hold on the line| bout a foot this side of the first guide. Point your rod at the target, | ‘keeping your arm as far as the elbow | close to the body (this is essential, | the forearm and wrist must do the ‘work) swing the rod up to a vertical | position slowly at first, taking up loose line and ending with a strong, | quick wrist and forearm motion. This |~ throws the line in the air and the wing of the rod carries it back over ‘the shoulder, but be sure of this point, stop the cast when the thumb along the grip shows that the rod is ‘vertical; more casts are killed by too much of a swing over the shoulder than any other way. This is the first half of the cast and is called the back ast. This cast causes the line to fly ut behind you and the instant you Teel the slightest tug on the rod you know that the line has straightened ut behind and at this point start the forward cast. Make the forward cast Deginning it with an easy swing put- ting the steam on at the windup, stop ping the cast with a snap when par- allel with the ground. Big Points to Remember. The main points to watch are: Make the back cast forcibly. Not to swing ‘the rod back too far on the back cast, keeping it at vertical rather than back farther—start forward cast at the slightest pull of the Mne—start for. ward cast mildly, finish it strong, and not to lower the rod too near the wa ter at the wind up. pany pay i; make8 |the oil produced from this well. it tract is contiguous to large Wyo., | work ito be within the will be started in drilling for oil. at F fields at that place which hav \lying idle for a number of years wil! lagain become active. were started in 1884 and have been idle. j from Mrs. |“The Story of Wyoming } entertaining and right up-to-| tome in Wyoming.
