I am very much pleased with the flies. They are splendidly tied and are just what I wanted.Francis Francis, Esq.G. Holland is one of the most excellent professional fly tiers in the three kingdoms, and has carried the department of Floating Fly-tying to special excellence.H. Cholmondeley Pennell, Esq.—Badminton Library.I never saw anything more life-like or perfect.Francis M. Walbran, Esq.As a fly fisher of more than fifty years, I have had very extensive experience of Fly Dressing, and it is fairly due to you to state that I have never met with flies better or more artistically tied than yours, and I never miss an opportunity of recommending your flies.H. R. Francis, Esq.—Badminton Library.COBWEB DRAWN GUT WITH UNBROKEN SKIN."Examined by the microscope the gut is much rounder and more perfect in structure than any I have seen, also smaller in diameter; some of the lengths are 3-1,000ths of an inch only. Its transparency is also very great, and there are seen no fibres along the length, which is so common with the ordinary drawn gut. Please send two more hanks."J. Hawksley, Esq., London.Dear Sir,—I promised to let you know how those small eyed snecks did among heavy fish. I am glad to find them exceeding good; so far I have had no accidents with them, and I had some very heavy fish. Amongst others, I have killed during the last four days six grayling weighing 15lb., the heaviest brace going a trifle over 53⁄4lb. All these fish have been killed on your cobweb gut, which is the best I ever had—a perfect marvel of strength and fineness combined. Most of my fish have succumbed to the tiny Orange Tags I had from you a fortnight ago, though the largest fish, a three-pounder, came home on a light Olive. The Orange Tag is, however, about the best grayling fly it is possible to use on a sunny day, and it will, in bright weather, frequently do execution with trout. I hooked three good fish with it in less than ten minutes one day last week.Yours very truly,H. S. Hall.
