Jamison Coaxer Floating Trout Fly Ad May 1909
Here we have a Jamison Coaxer Floating Trout Fly Ad May 1909 field and Stream article.
A Live Artificial Bait
This is what JW Jamison of Coaxer bait fame calls the little Coaxer Floating Trout Fly in his catalog. Mr Jamison says that all trout must prefer live flies to dead ones, that are liable to be stale. In his new catalog he tells you all about why the expert angler will never retrieve his fly across the stream. He also explains why the little Coaxer trout fly can and should be retrieved not only across the stream but directly upstream. This is all very interesting and “listens” good, but the fact that his little Coaxer is selling by the thousands in all parts of the country goes a long way towards proving that his article is the real thing.
If you have tried to fish with a dry fly and had no success write for his catalog and find out how even a man who never cast a fly can dry fly fish in the swiftest water where even the most expert angler fails utterly with the ordinary trout fly. Mr Jamison’s catalog shows many baits and flies for both bait and fly casting in their natural colors and size as well as weedless hooks trout and bass spoons etc. A decided novelty is the illustration which shows the new luminous Coaxer surface bait in its full luminous effect. This is a very striking illustration and if you are interested in luminous baits you can see just how they glow at night by exposing the illustration to the sunlight for a minute or two and then taking it into a dark room. Address WJ Jamison 2751 Polk street Chicago Ill. Enclose a two cent postage stamp and mention Field and Stream when you write.
