Foreword TO those who love the forest, and who find a rare companionship in the murmur of a flowing stream, there come moods when that love and companionship seek expression in at tempted rhyme. Let such be my apology for that herein contained. The inspiration, if such there be, of what I have written, has come from the forests and the streams, themselves. The actual writing, in most cases, having been first done upon some stray bit of paper, found in my camp-kit or in the pocket of my fishing coat. The reason, for the present form of publication lies in the fact that most, anglers cherish those rhymes, however crude, that treat of their be loved recreation, or of the grandeur of Nature. Because of this fact I have here, in reproducing the essential features of a Fly-book, endeavored to present a means whereby such rhymes, wherever found, may be preserved. Within the pocket, where in the actual Flybook are found the leaders and various other necessities of the anglers art, may be preserved magazine and newspaper clippings. A gain, within the ordinary Fly-book are found blank leaves separating those containing the multi colored assortment of flies. Such blank pages in this present volume are intended for whatever copying or original verse it may be desired to preserve.
