Expert Gives Advice on Choosing Fishing Tackle

Helpful suggestions on the selcc- 1 tion oi fly-fishing tackle arc given) by A. Cooke in the June issue of; Field and Stream. “We will start with the rod,',' j writes Cooke. “Many say the rod! is so important that the best is none ; too good. I would not go to this j extreme, but I would say get a one. “Fishing rods are like any other article of commerce. Within a certain limit, the more you pay. the better you will find the material, j And although a great number of j rods are similar in appearance. | many of the cheaper ones will not 1 do the work. “Do not get one that is too limber, | A rod should have at least a good stiff butt joint. Get one that has good •backbone.’ It will stay with you longer, and cast your flies better. A rod anywhere from 9 to 10’ feet long and weighing from 6 to 9 ounces formerly was considered a good rod for all-round Ashing. Today rods 8 to 9 feet in length and weighing from 4 to 5 ounces are the most popular. Reel Not Too Heavy “Next is the reel. Aside from j holding the line in a handy manner, j the reel has another important I function. That is, to help balance | the rod. A heavy rod will be much i easier to handle and less tiring to : the muscles if it has a reel heavy 7: enough to balance it. ! T do not mean that you should j get a real as heavy as possible. If ' the-rod seems to have most of its | weight close pp to or beyond the middle, that is, in the direction of the tip. you should have a pretty heavy reel to counterbalance that weight. -If most of the weight is close to the butt, the reel need not be quite so heavy. It should be of the conventional sing • action type and should have a good click, which ought to be kept on all the time. “Now the line. If you can a fiord it. I would recommend a double tapered one; that is. the diametci should be large at the middle and taper to a smaller diameter at each end. If both ends are tapered you can switch ends from time to time, thus getting longer service. “Double tapered lines come in | lengths of about thirty ya;\ > which is about the right length to use. The usual length of a level I fine is twenty-five yards. Under ! ordinary circumstances it seldom I will be found necessary to use more than about fifteen yards, or about ! half the line. This will bring the j heaviest part of the line nearer the ! tip of your rod. “You then will have the same principal employed in a whip as used by mule drivers and cowmen;

the heavy part nearest you to giving driving power and thinning down towards the end away from you. so it will sail through the air with ease. If the rod is very strong and snappy, get a fairly heavy line. If the rod is rather weak, not only will it cast, a heavy line poorly, but the weight of the line soon will take the life out of the rod. “If you prefer an untapered or level line, judge the weight of it by the strength of the rod; the stronger the rod. the heavier the line. The weight is there for just one purpose, to assist in casting.” VARIETY IN ST, LOUIS Missouri Metropolis Calls Vacation Visitors. There are so many things to see and do in St. Louis in summer that it is well worth a generous portion of any one's vacation. Unlike anything else in the country is the Great Muncipal Opera which in 1929 enters its eleventh annual season of opera presentation in Forest Park. The auditorium seats 10,000 people, the stage is the largest in America, and the productions have won international recognition. The beautiful park system with its famous Zoo, renowned Shaw’s Garden. Jefferson Memorial with Col. Lindbergh's trophies, the Old Courthouse, the Old Cathedral, places that will attract the person interested in the achievements of today, buildings and sites of interest to the historically minded person whose thought runs to the achievements of yesterday. SI. Louis, the gateway to so many vacation points Is in itself an interesting vacation spot. ONTARIO FRUIT LAND IS BLOSSOMING NOW Rich District Is .Mecca for United States Tourists.

ADVENTURE AND ROMANCE LURE TO OLD MEXICO Five Highways. Remains of Ancient Civilization, to Attract Tourists. By Vr.l .Service MEXICO CITY. Mexico. May 25 If you crave romance and adventure for your vacation. Mexico, with its changing scenery and lure of ancient civilization, coupled with its partial completion of the PanAmerican highway, offers satisfaction. With its modern road program, for which $10,000,000 has been expended annually for the last four years, this country is constructing seme modern highways that compare favorably with any in United States. San Antonio Is Portal San Antonio is the gateway into Mexico. Roads from Houston, Galveston and other Texas cities lead intto that city. From San Antonio over U. S. Highway 81. Laredo, Texas, on the border is reached. Crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico, the motorist hits Neuvo Larendo and the PanAmerican highway, which is completed as far south as Monterey. The round to Monterrey is well worth the Mexican tour. The city is even more scenic. Much of old Mexico is seen here and little of the new civilization which bustles and disturbs dreamers and vacationers. Much Yet to Re Built Outside of Monterrey the highway is still under construction and continues that way, branching off to Tampico on the Atlantic coast, until a few miles outside of Mexico City. But at the capital of Mexico the highway is improved, and is finished into Puebla and Acapulco. Roads under construction extend from the capital city east to Vera Cruz, south to Salina Cruz and west to Guadalajara, Entry red tape has" been somewhat eliminated by the efforts of W. H. Furlong, assistant manager of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. The Mexican- American Association for the Development of Touring has been organized and through it present border conditions require only a bond on each car entering Mexico. Many Quaint Spots Not only will the scenery, the people, customs and handiwork the tourist sees be of an ancient civilization. but the highway in places will be ancient. A stretch near Cuernavaca, built by the Spaniards several centuries -ago. is reconditioned and is part of the highway A representative tour of Mexico would include the following points of interest in the tourist's program: The Bishop's palace, bearing the date of 1846, in Monterrey at the i foot of the Sierra Madre mountains; j the ancient church of San Francisco j in Monterrey founded in 1560: the : Shrine of Guadeloupe in Mexico j City and the National Museum there dating back to 1529; the Pyramids ! of San Juan Teotihuacan: the Aztec Pyramid of the Sun; Puebla, the | numerous lakes, majestic mountains I and winding rivers that run !throughout the country.
