That a tapered line is most efficient and satisfactory for dry-fly casting is generally conceded.

The dry-fly streams, though they have increased of late years, are still and ever must be in a decided minority.

Every dry-fly angler, moreover, knows full well how soon constant casting and drying the fly tires and cramps the wrist and arm.

Mr. Dewar then mentions a dry-fly angler of great skill who is very successful in fishing in this manner with a big Alder.
