THE CREEL COVER FLY BOOK
The accompanying sketch depicts a device for carrying flies on the stream that I believe will prove very handy. The materials are a piece of leather six by 5 inches, a metal rod five inches long and one-eighth inch in diameter and a small spring the same length.
The rod is heated and the ends flattened. The ends are then drilled with a small hole. The spring is stretched until the gilt of a fly can pass between the coils tightly enough to hold it, the spring is then cut off the same length as the rod. The two corners on the longer side of the leather are rounded; this is to be the upper side. The rod is then sewed along this side about one-half inch from the edge by means of the small holes drilled in the end.
The spring is sewed one-half inch from the opposite edge. The whole thing is then sewed to the underside of the creel lid with the rod at the loose edge of the creel lid. The fly is then hooked over the small rod and the gut is held by the coils of the spring.
