tº. IOOC) FIFTH ANNUAL EDIT:GN PUBLISHED BY The Field and Stream Publishing, Co Dear Angler If you do not want to take a fishing trip, do not send for that handsomely illustrated booklet, just issued by the Union Pacific Railroad Co., describing the fishing resorts and streams along, and tributary to, its lines; because, if you get it, when you have seen the pictures (taken in the act), the rich, red blood in your veins will leap and tumble more swiftly—aye, much more swiftly —than is its wont, and you will then and there make up your mind to “go a-fishing.” After you have read the text and have taken a second look at those “real thing” pictures, you’ll get out that old tackle box, pack your kit, buy your ticket and go straight to one of the many excellent places mentioned in its pages —no doubt about it—you couldn’t be kept at home by two spans of mules. Of course, if you say so, we’ll send it to you, but—well, you take the responsi- bility after its receipt, that's all. Address E. L. Lomax, G. P. A., U.P. R. R.

And the bar of sun-warmed shingle, Whère a man may bask and dream— To the click of shod canoe-poles round the bend ? It is there that we are going, - With our rods and reels and traces, To a silent, smoky Indian that we know; To a couch of new-pulled hemlock, With the starlight on our faces, For the Red Gods call us out, and we must go.” —Kipling. FOR THE CAMPER AND ANGLER. As it is not so much a matter of what to take on the trip as the things that cannot be overlooked, the following hints will be of value. They are hints rather than rules, for in- dividual tastes vary to so great a degree that each must work out his own plans; they are, primarily, for those who answer the alluring call of the woods and who seek elusive trout, maskalonge or bass in the wilderness away from hotels and even farm houses. In the following pages will be found information enough for those who wish to min- imize their needs and forsake the market-places of the cities, and especially for the man who has not hit the long trail often and therefore does not know how essential it is to have as little baggage as possible and yet have that little count. The facts presented have been gathered from re- liable sources and from practical and experienced persons, and will aid in the selection of equipment, the camping places and how to reach them. Acknowledgment is made to Dr. David Starr Jordan, Dr. Edward Breck, Mr. Louis Rhead and to other authorities, to whom thanks are due for information used in this book and also to the various Railway Companies, Fishing Clubs and the Provincial and State Fish and Game Commissions for data furnished. Railways, hotels and tourist bureaus, in general, are willing and courteous in supplying reliable in- formation for the prospective vacationist or sportsman. Particularly valuable for camp details and equipment are the catalogs published by the various manufacturers and dealers in sporting goods. PERSONAL OUTFIT. The most necessary details are the choosing of the com- panions and outfit. Regarding the choice and packing of the sportsman’s equipment, it is optional whether KNAP- * 6 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE SACK or duffle bag is used, although preference seems to belong to the latter. The PACK BASKET and PACR HARIVESS are for more extensive trips than are to be undertaken by the average sportsman and for details rela- tive to these a reliable dealer should be consulted. The Abercrombie & Fitch Co. manufactures all varieties of duffle bags likely to be used. They sell a canvas DUFFLE BAG for clothing and provisions which is durable and waterproof, running from 10 ins. in diameter, to 18 ins.; and from 24 ins. to 36 ins. in length, which weigh from II oz. to 38 oz. They range in cost from 75 cts. to $1.80, with 25 cts, additional with handles attached. For long, hard trips for the prospector, exploration parties and foreign travellers the “Porto” and “Duplex” duffle bags are espe- cially desirable. Made from an extra fine grade of import- ed linen duck, absolutely waterproof, snag-proof and prac- tically indestructible. They vary in price, according to size, from $2.50 and $3.50 to $4.25 and $5.50. The matter of CLOTHING in the woods is an important one. Sacrifice appearance for comfort. Serviceable old clothing is preferable to new; it gives freedom of action. At all seasons all-wool clothing will be found to have many advantages, and in cold weather is indispensable. This ap- plies to stockings, underclothing and outside garments. Woolen underwear can be had of very light weight for summer wear. It absorbs perspiration and dampness and it never has a clammy feeling. Also it is good protection against one's taking cold after being heated. With woolen stockings one may get his feet wet and still they will not be cold because they hold the heat of the body. Woolen outer garments are warm, soft and noiseless in going through the woods, and even when wet are a protection from cold. A gray or blue flannel SHIRT is a comfortable and service- able garment. Avoid white and fawn colors, white because it soils easily, and fawn is a dangerous color in the woods. Knee trousers will be found a distinct advantage over long trousers, the bottoms of which are continually getting wet, but this question is a personal one. A BELT is preferable to suspenders unless cartridges are to be carried, when suspenders become necessary. Khaki or duxbak SHOOT- ING-COATS are excellent for summer use but for winter an old woolen coat is to be preferred. A canvas SHOOTING- VEST reinforced with additional small pockets will be found a decided comfort. OIL SKINS are a necessity for salt-water fishing, and have their advantages on canoe trips in the rainy seasons and are to be preferred to hot rubber coverings or mackintoshes. A light rubber PONCHO is a valuable addition to an outfit, as it sometimes serves as a blanket for sleeping out doors and also as a covering for yourself or baggage. A brown or gray medium-brim soft felt HAT is a good protection against both sun and rain but a cap may be taken along for short outings. MOCCASINS are comfortable footwear. The city man is wise if he gets them with a double sole for summer wear, THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 7 for the double sole will protect his feet, grown tender with wearing shoes, from many a painful contact with stones and roots. Never take new boots camping; a pair or two of worn but serviceable shoes are always handy to have with you. If you come into camp with wet feet a change to dry stockings and soft moosehide moccasins or tennis shoes will be found very comforting. A good recipe for waterproofing leather and one that will keep shoes or boots soft, is as follows: Boil together three parts cod-liver oil and two parts pine tar. In this soak the leather, rubbing in the mixture while hot. The question of taking a SWEATER depends upon the time of year and space in your duffle bag. It is nearly always handy. FOR ONE'S PERSONAL USE, besides the fishing tackle and shooting arms, the outfit should include a razor, tooth-paste in tubes, tooth-brush, comb, brush and Small, folding mirror. Here is where the tenderfoot goes wrong nine times out of ten. It is well to remember that he who goes into the woods to camp out with the idea that he is going to have a luxurious time of it, is a much disappointed man when he has tasted the joys of camp life. Use dis- crimination in taking such articles as court-plaster, laxa- tives, vaseline (in tubes), etc. Capsicum vaseline has all the healing qualities of the old-fashioned mustard plaster without its disagreeable features. In the tube it is abso- lutely sanitary and may be applied easily, safely, and at a moment’s notice. PLAYING-CARDS, stamped EN VELOPES, POSTAL CARDS and a small NOTE BOOK, particularly one with perforated or detachable leaves, should be carried. Also a Waterman or other reliable FOUNTAIN PEN. These articles are best kept in a waterproof case or covering. If possible, take a CAMERA. Every trip furnishes some scenes you will wish to remember, and “fish stories” with- out proof are hardly to be credited MAPS and reading matter will prove useful if well chosen. Rand, McNally & Co., Chicago, are the largest dealers in maps. BLANK- ETS VS. SLEEPING BAGS proves a serious matter for thought and argument, and until one prepares for a trip into the woods, it is surprising how many things there are to be argued for and against. If blankets are chosen, they should be of the best quality and of good size. The question of good blankets or sleeping bags cannot be too strongly emphasized. The Gold Medal Camp Furniture Mfg. Co., Racine, Wis., has a combination which is a sleeping bag, camp bed, mattress and blanket, a camp hammock or canvas carry-all. It is made of heavy 12 oz. Army duck either lined or unlined and so it can be stuffed with any suitable dry substance as a mattress. When used with any one of this company’s cots the combination is an ideal camp bed. It is unsurpassed as a camp hammock. Made in four styles from $6 to $12.50. Abercrombie & Fitch Co. make several varieties ranging in price from $15 to $30. 8. THE ANGLER'S GUIDE An excellent combination bag can be had for about $25. Blankets run from $3.25 to $7.50. The Gold Medal FOLD- ING CAMP BED, weighing 20 lbs., is a luxury and the Strongest and best made. The frame is of rock elm and the joints of , steel, covered with extra heavy canvas. Opened it is a full-length, easy, elastic and comfortable bed, 6% ft. long, 3 ft. wide and 1% ft. high, and can be folded in a few seconds to a compact package 6x6 in. by 3 ft. 2 in. long. Price, $4.50. They also make a smaller and lighter bed for $2.25. SHEEPSKIN makes a warm covering and can be used in place of a blanket. In Summer a strong, durable HAMMOCR will be found a substitute for camp beds or cots. . When camping on dry ground, the tent bed is made of “browse”—soft twigs—care being taken in the shingling to cover the branches or stems and to make the bed without lumps; if, however, it is on damp ground a good camp bed to carry is made as follows:–Take a piece of strong can- was 40 to 50 inches wide and seven feet long, on each of the long sides turn a hem ten inches deep, having it sewn double for security, leave the two ends open, through them pass a rope which when drawn together makes a pack blanket, readily carried by a pack strap; when required for a bed, thrust poles sufficiently heavy to carry one’s weight through the ends where the rope runs, make spreaders of notched sticks, roll a log under each end and there is as comfortable a bed as a man could desire, and after a day’s portage the luxury of sleep will be more appreciated than ever before. TOBACCO. Sportsmen and campers agree that there is only one time in the day when a pipe is absolutely indis- pensable, which is from about 6 o'clock in the morning until 10 or 11 o’clock at night. When surrounded by the ameni- ties and conventionalities of civilization cigars supply, in a way, the consolation that one feels the need of when down in his luck and the means for celebrating a stroke of happy fortune, but as the majority of smokers prefer a pipe care should be taken not to leave it behind. Without FLY-"DOPE” a trip into the north woods means misery unlimited | The pests most incessant in their persecutions are the black fly, midge, punky, “no-see-'um” and the ubiquitous mosquito. A sufficient quantity for a day's use can be carried in a small oil-can with a hollow tip through which the fluid runs when bottom is pressed, such as used by typewriters and bicyclists. All dealers have their favorite brands which usually cost about 25 cts. Edward Breck, author of “The Way of the Woods,” gives the following “dope”: Pine tar, 3 oz. Citronella, I oz. Olive (or castor) oil, 2 oz. Creosote, 1 oz. Oil pennyroyal, I oz. Camphor (pulverized), 1 oz. Large tube carbolated vaseline. Heat the tar and oil and add the other ingredients; sim- mer over slow fire until well mixed. The tar may be omitted if disliked, or for ladies’ use. THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 9 To keep away insects, etc., make a “smudge” fire by burn- ing brushwood, partly dry and partly green. Another defense against flies and mosquitoes, with the aid of gloves, is the HEAD-NET. It is an admirable idea but few anglers will wear one. The best kind can be made before leaving town. Use black silk Brussels net. Make a bag-shaped net about 20 inches long to fit the hat you pur- pose wearing. - AMMONIA, if carried in the kit, is a good counter- irritant for bites; also BAKING SODA or soda and vine- gar mixed, or rub with raw ONION. - COMPASS—If lost in the woods your watch is a com- pass as long as the sun shines. Point the watch at the sun, and the south is half-way between the hour hand and the figure XII on the dial. Learn to use the “bush compass,” this is an art soon acquired by observation. Three-quarters of the moss on the trees grows on the north side; the heavy boughs of the spruce are always on the south side; the topmost twig of every uninjured hemlock tree tips to the east. You will not need a compass when you have learned to read these signs, but it is a good plan to carry one. The Marble handy waterproof compass sells from $1 to $2. Good ones can be purchased generally for 50 cts., with brass case. A WATCH is not a necessity, but few care to leave it behind. Use a cheap one with a leather guard. It is a good plan to carry it in the breast-pocket of the shirt. The JACK-KNIFE should be not too large and of good steel and preferably one with two blades and a file. A double-edged blade is dangerous and also unnecessary as it is next to impossible to use it for cleaning fish or skinning an animal. It should have a handle that fits the hand perfectly. - Abercrombie & Fitch Co. sell excellent KIT KIWIVES, one at $3.50 with a 2% inch blade, 1% inch blade, powerful screw-driver, nail puller, can opener, reamer and fine cork- screw. A good serviceable knife in every way, weighing 4 oz. Also one at $6 containing a 2% inch locking blade, 1% inch blade, gimlet, 2% inch saw, cork-wire cutter, Screw- driver, leather punch, stone puller, file and corkscrew. A handy and practical knife for all around use. Weight, 4% oz. The Ulery Co., New York, sells for $2.25 a pocket knife tool kit containing a small saw, reamer, file, chisel and screwdriver in a bag. SCISSORS are a necessity, and when possible should be combined with the jack knife. The “U. S. A.” SE WING KIT contains scissors, safety pins, pins, needles, thread, darning cotton, buttons, wax, etc. It comes in Khaki case, bound and tied with tape. Weight 4 oz. Price, 75 cts. MATCHES-No experienced sportsman or woodsman would think of going into the forest or camp without matches. Loose matches are excellent enough, but it is strongly recommended that a waterproof or safety MATCH- 10 'THE ANGLER'S GUIDE BOX be taken. A waterproof match-box is cheap life in- surance to the man who is “caught out” in wet weather. It generally means warmth, dry clothes, comfort and some- thing hot to eat and drink. It should be of hard rubber with screw top rather than of metal. It is a good idea to take along a few boxes of WIND FUSES. Abercrombie & Fitch sell a waterproof match-box that will float if dropped overboard, for 50 cts. They sell also a flint and steel lighter, a combination of flint steel and tinder, and will strike fire and ignite fuse which can be used to light tobacco, fires, etc., a most excellent article for those living out of doors. A great match saver. Lighter, weight 2% Oz., price 50 cts.; fuses, weight 1% oz., per doz. 25 cts. Except for permanent camps or automobile trips, VACUUM BOTTLES are not to be recommended, as they are comparatively fragile and bulky. TENTS AND CANOES. TENT'S-It has been said that “a good tent is a luxury and a poor tent an abomination.” Take a good tent of good heavy duck, one with a fly is better. A dry tent, one that will stay dry, is of the greatest importance. It may never rain during your trip, but if it does, you will need a shelter that will positively keep the water out. Get a tent of good size, one 14x16 or 18 feet will not make too big a bundle to be handled and will give you room to turn around without having to go outside to do it. There is no pleasure of living in a tent where you dare not stretch your tired limbs without fear of knocking down a loaded gun or over- turning the water bucket. Khaki is the best adapted for tents. The tent should receive the camper's first considera- tion at outfitting time. It is the home, the base of opera- tions and on it depends the success or failure of the trip. A leaky tent or an unnecessarily heavy tent may utterly spoil a trip, otherwise ideal. Practically all manufacturers sell tents, but careful consideration and thought should be given this subject. The Abercrombie & Fitch Co. is an authority on this subject. Their catalog in this, as well as other camping matters, should be studied carefully and every camper will find it a necessary part of a liberal sport- ing education. - - As CANOES can be purchased or rented at most places likely to be visited by the camper, advice on this subject should be sought in advance by correspondence, when ar- ranging for guides, information, etc. Where portages have to be made, the light canvas-covered canoe is best; for or- dinary use cedar or basswood are generally used. One 16 feet long and weighing about 70 pounds is the best canoe. The requisites of an ideal canoe are that it must be light, yet strong; it must be staunch and steady, yet easy to handle; it must carry great loads, yet draw little water, and above all must be so built as to stand all sorts of rough usage and be easy to transport. Beginning with the primi- THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 11 tive dug-out and the Indian birch-bark, year after year of steady development and constant improvement brings us down to the latter-day cedar-built and canvas-covered canoe, universally acknowledged as the best for all general pur- poses. It is stronger than any other form, is always tight and dry, will stand much more abuse and hard usage and is handsome in design and finish. It is always a good plan to reconnoitre rapids before putting your canoe into them. They may be navigable and may not and the time to find out is before you go into them, for once in there is no turning and you must go through. One who knows the rapids and their channels may go through all right but in waters unknown to you recon- noitre carefully and if there is any doubt carry around, then you will surely be on the safe side. Before going into the rapids lash all baggage tightly in the canoe so there will be no shifting of cargo and no duffle lost if you should happen to spill. This applies particularly to rods and guns. Abbey & Imbrie, New York, sell a canvas folding boat for $30, known as the “Paine” boat. It weighs 22 pounds, is waterproof, and of simple and practical construction. When in the water it is ten feet long and will hold two persons; folded, it measures 7x7x3% feet. CAMP EQUIPMENT. The most practical UTENSILS for carrying and storing in camp such articles as lard, butter, cottolene, etc., are the friction-top tins made by Abercrombie & Fitch Co., useful also for keeping dry tea, coffee, sugar, salt, matches, etc. Tops fit snugly, are absolutely water-tight and easily re- moved. Both sizes fit the 10-inch duffle bags. No. 1, Diam., 8 in. ; depth, 3 in. ; weight, 11 oz.; each, 25 cts. 2, Diam., 8 in.; depth, 6 in. ; weight, 16 oz.: each, 40 cts. Smaller tins for such articles as salt, pepper, tea, coffee, etc., cost 5 and 10 cts. each. The Gold Medal Camp Furniture Mfg. Co., Racine, Wis., sells commendable COOKING OUTFITS which contain practically every necessity for camp use. The fire jack is a compact folding device and is very rigid and cannot be upset when in use. They are made in three sizes, for two, four and six persons. No. 63A, outfit for six persons, costs $11; 63B, four persons, $10.50; 63C, two persons, $10. Also better outfits for $12, $11.50, and $11. No. 63D, for six persons, contains the following: 28-inch fire jack, No. 3 Large steam cooker and boiler, One knife sharpener, Baldwin butcher knife and sheath, Two tablespoons, camp Camp roaster and dish pan, Combined baking and frying pan, Cover for above pans, Wrought steel handle, Large coffee pot, - Six extra large cups, open hand- les, nested, Six extra large dinner plates, Six knives and forks, Six teaspoons, Extra heavy mixing spoon, Large meat fork, Soup ladle, Skimmer and strainer, Can opener, Salt, pepper and flour dredges, Wire toaster and broiler, Cake turner, Wire dish washer, Candle holder. 12 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE (The outfits for two and four persons contain the same as those for six with the exception of tableware for two and four respectively.) Price of fire jack and grate, $1.60. Other manufacturers have cooking kits on the market that serve the purpose. Abercrombie & Fitch Co.’s “Armor- steel” and “Aluminol” outfits are excellent but more ex- pensive than the Gold Medal. The “Aluminol” outfit for two persons contains one cooking pot, one cooking pot, one coffee pot, Small; one frying pan, small; two plates, two cups, two soup bowls, two knives, two forks, two dessert spoons, two teaspoons. Size, when nested, 9%x8% inches; weight, 6 lbs. 6 oz. Price, including canvas case, $9.85. For four persons: One cooking pot, one cooking pot, one cooking pot, one coffee pot, small; one frying pan, large; one frying pan, Small; four plates, four cups, four soup bowls, four knives, four forks, four dessert spoons, four teaspoons. Size, when nested, 10x11% inches; weight, 10 lbs. 14 oz. Price, including canvas case, $16.60. The “Preston” mess kit (Abercrombie & Fitch Co.) is an outfit for individual service afield. Consists of canteen, frying pan, stew pan, plate, knife, fork and spoon. When desired, plate locks over frying pan and makes an excellent baker. Canteen has removable felt jacket for keeping water cool, an entire outfit rests compactly and carries in canvas case, size, 9%x6x4 inches, with shoulder straps. Canteen is of tin with attached stopper. Fry pan, stew pan and plate of aluminum. Plated knife, fork and spoon. Used extensive- ly by the U. S. Army for foreign service and highly recom- mended. Full size canteen. Weight, 2% lbs., price, $6. Half size canteen (space for food). Weight, 2 lbs., price, $6.50. A feature of the A. & F. kit is the frying pan with de- tachable hollow handle. For use in cooking over a camp fire, where long handles are required, a stick of the de- sired length is inserted in the hollow handle. An aluminum folding BARER is an essential feature of an outfit. They vary in price from $3 to $5. Fire BROIL- ERS cost 20 cts. to 30 cts. Every camp cook will at once appreciate the usefulness of POT-HOOKS and hangers, which cost 25 cts. per set. No more upset pots, spilled din- ners or burned fingers if these hooks are used. Pots are lifted off and on the fire easily and safely by means of these hangers. An excellent FISH-KNIFE is made by the Marble Safety Axe Co., Gladstone, Mich., which also makes hunting and camp knives. A fish-knife is practically indispensable. The A. & K. “Gloucester” fish-knife, 4% oz., costs 30 cts., and 10 cts. extra with sheath. If possible a long-handled AXE should be taken. Under ordinary circumstances the best variety of HATCHET is the Marble Safety pocket axe made by the Marble Safety Axe Co. It has a folding spring guard. No. 6, with steel head, welded steel bit, 12-inch hickory handle, weighing 20 oz., sells for $1.35. No. 2, solid steel head, metal handle, THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 13 hard rubber side-plates, 11-inch handle, weighing 21 oz., costs $2.25. The Diamond Tool Co., Boston, makes a good camp axe weighing two to four pounds for $2.50 (or with sheath, $3.25). Pocket AXE STONES of carborundum sell at 25 and 50 cts. The India combination, one size rough and the other smooth, in leather case, sells for 50 cts. Weight, 3 oz. Do not forget to take a good CAN OPENER. CAMP FURNITURE may be used sparingly by the ex- perienced camper who can do with few comforts, but cata- logs which can be secured from manufacturers, especially the Gold Medal Co., suggest many articles of useful value from folding water buckets and bath tubs to camp ranges. The Gold Medal FOLDING TABLES, chairs and stools are excellent. The table weighs 16 lbs. and costs $2.50. Folding CAMP GRATES are inexpensive and to be recom- mended. Good ones can be secured from 40 cts. to 85 cts. The Sackett CAMP BROILER, made by H. R. Sackett, Rockford, Ill., combines a broiler and a standard for cof- fee-pot and skillets. Size 9x14", weight 26 oz.; costs 75 cts. Made of tough galvanized wire, it will not rust or bend un- der any heat. The Outdoor Cooker Co., Rochester, N. Y., sells for $3 the Gem COLLAPSIBLE COOKER in canvas carrying case. It is compact, strong, light and adjustable. PROVISIONS. PROVISIONS will depend principally upon the tastes of the members of a party and the length of time to be away from a base of supplies. Good, plain food is, however, the best for camping out. Do not take a lot of fancy groceries into camp. Give your stomach a rest, and you will be the better for it. A good list for four persons for ten days would include the following: Flour, 50 lbs; baking powder, 1 lb.; salt, I sack; lard, 10 lbs.; butter, 15 lbs; evaporated cream, 15 cans; tomatoes, 15 cans; ham, I ; bacon, 4 sides; matches, 4 large boxes; pepper, 4 oz., ground; sugar, 15 lbs. ; corn meal, 25 lbs. ; vinegar, / gal.; coffee, ground, 5 lbs. ; tea, 9% lb.; onions, I peck; potatoes, 2 bush.; prunes, dried apples or peaches; Worcestershire sauce, I bottle; molasses, I gal.; Soap, laundry, 3 bars; soap, toilet, 3 bars; soap, for removing fish slime and grease, 2 bars; crackers, cheese and such canned goods as may be desired. Chickens, eggs, game, fish and sometimes milk and butter that may be secured along the route or near the camp will furnish variety. “Buzzacott” gives the following for five days for four men—U. S. standard ration scale (ample allowance without allowance for fish, game, etc.): 20 lbs. self raising flour. 6 lbs, choice mixed coffee. 6 lbs. fresh biscuits. 6 lbs. choice sugar. 6 lbs. indian or corn meal. % lb. mixed tea. 6 lbs. select navy beans. % lb. baking powder. 3 lbs. select special rice. % lb. baking soda. 14 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE cans milk and cream. sack salt. boxes matches, tin case. lb. soap, 1 lb. corn starch. 5 lbs. select salt pork. 5 lbs. select choice bacon. 10 lbs. select fine ham. 15 lbs. new potatoes. 6 lbs. fresh onions. lb. candles. i - 1 3-lb. can preserved butter. jar cheese 3 lbs. dried fruits. box ginger. % gallon pickles in vinegar. % gallon preserves. 1 quart syrup. 1 box pepper. boxes sardines. 1 box mustard. screwtop flask. (To be packed in air-tight or tin packages.) Total weight, 125 lbs. Packed in tin-lined camp ration chest. In addition to the above it is suggested that the following be taken along ready for immediate use: Fresh bread, meat, Sausage, or a few eggs in a case. The minimum quantity of supplies for a party of four for a two weeks’ trip in canoes, is given by Edward Breck in “The Way of the Woods” as follows: Flour (including ryemeal, buckwheat, cornmeal, etc., no bread being taken), 30 lbs.; rice, 10 lbs. ; pork, bacon, ham, 20 lbs.; lard, 5 lbs.; sugar, 10 lbs.; tea, 2 lbs.; coffee, 3 lbs.; beans, 8 lbs.; evap- orated milk, 10 cans; butter, 10 lbs.; dried fruit, 5 lbs. ; fresh potatoes, half bush. (This is for an easy trip, some fish or game being secured in the woods. Luxuries may be added.) The flour should be taken in a stout bag; baking powder in original tins. Cornmeal is excellent for Johnny- cake and to roll fish in before frying. Butter or lard should be carried in wooden pails. Tea or coffee, if not in tins, should be carefully kept in cloth bags inside of stout paper bags, separately. The best substitute for milk or cream is Borden’s “Peerless” evaported (unsweetened) milk, in 10-cent cans. An excellent article is Horlick’s or Bor- den's malted milk tablets (plain or chocolate). Malted milk tablets are palatable, very nourishing and a reliable emergency ration. It is better to carry them in a tin, rather than the original bottle in which they come. Borden's condensed coffee comes in collapsible screw-cap tubes containing enough for about 40 cups. Weight, 5% oz. Price, 20 cts. A spoonful to a cup of boiling water, with sweetening added, is all that is necessary. As coffee figures prominently in recollections of past camps, as well as ardent dreams of camps yet to be made, lived in and enjoyed, substitutes of this kind should be given a trial before being preference in the outfit to “the real thing.” What would a camp be without coffee—morning, noon and night! The fisherman is usually up at break of day, while it is still dark. No time for cooking but a cup of coffee, and coffee that will gently nourish and stimulate, and leave one with a good appetite for the fried trout, boiled veni- son steaks and pancakes later, when success has crowned the efforts of an early start. A coffee percolator designed expressly for the sportsman is made by the International Silver Co., of Meriden, Conn., whose New York address is 218 Fifth Ave. It is made in three, four and five pint sizes, which sell for $3.50, $3.75 and $5, respectively. The box allspice. lb. currants. lb. raisins. THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 15 coffee percolator is heavily nickel plated on hard metal, silver lined inside, and is constructed to withstand the hard- est, usage and any heat, all attached parts being riveted. An article that has novelty to commend it is a box of compressed tea tablets. Boxes containing 100 tablets cost 25 cts, and 50 cts. Two tablets are said to equal one large cup of tea. Huyler's chocolate and cocoa are the standard and come in various forms and sizes. Abercrombie & Fitch Co. prepare “Trumilk,” “Trucream” and “Truegg.” “Trumilk” is milk reduced to powder form and may be used in dry form or dissolved in water; 1%-1b. can costs 50 cts. “Trucream” costs 85 cts. for 1-lb. can. “Truegg” consists of fresh hens' eggs reduced to a per- fectly soluble form in water and used for all purposes. With “Trucream” it makes omelettes and scrambled eggs, and in all bake stuffs gives the same result as fresh eggs. One pound of powder is equal to four dozen fresh eggs and one tablespoonful is the equivalent of one egg. Half- pound can costs 75 cts. Abercrombie & Fitch's dehydrated vegetables are a good substitute for fresh vegetables. For list, consult the manufacturers. They also prepare soups and other foods in self-heating cans, the average cost of which is 30 cts. Knorr’s evaporated and compressed vegetables, in 5-oz. packages, cost 20 cts. per package. They include the follow- ing varieties: Sliced beans, spinach, white cabbage, celery, onions, leek, carrots and turnips. Knorr’s soup tablets cost 10 cts. each. A package will make about three pints of soup. Liebig’s beef extract and Anker's bouillon capsules are well known. The beef extract in 2–Oz. tubes costs 35 cts. Each tube represents the condensed essence of 5 lbs. of fresh beef. Anker’s capsules cost 25 cts. for box of ten. Pemmican is a concentrated food, especially for work in the far North, and is usually made to order only. To meet quick demand Abercrombie & Fitch Co. carry the very best, made on the Government formula. This is put up especially and in stock ready for delivery. Will keep in- definitely in all climates and is the best heavy food made in condensed form; 6 lbs. in can costs $4.50. It is important that salt, pepper, paprika and other dry CONDIMENTS should not be overlooked. Self-raising buckwheat flour is a luxurious necessity in camp. Beans are another luxury, as pork and beans are a recognized in- stitution in all camps. Canned pork and beans may be substituted. Dried or EVA PORATED FRUITS satisfy the ordinary call for desserts and sweets. THE CAMP. The CAMP should be located before late in the after- noon, in order to locate water, wood and food. Never pass a good camping site in the afternoon unless certain of an- other equally good camping-ground that can be reached be- 16 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE fore sundown. Mosquitoes are likely to be worse at the water’s edge than on a hill or elevation. - The camp should be located, when possible, near good water, which adds to the convenience for cooking purposes, washing dishes, etc. Select a place at an elevation where there is the least danger from overflow of nearby streams, and where in case of heavy rains the water will run away from the tent. For all general purposes, especially if the party uses a canoe, the edge of a lake or a river bank will serve admirably. Unless the country is well known to the camper it is always advisable to take a guide. The guides should be engaged in advance to avoid disappointment and delay. On arriving at one's destination, the outfit should be transported to the proposed camp which is to be main- tained as a base for supplies when on short fishing or hunting trips. When the camp is chosen one guide immedi- ately sets to work to cut stakes to erect the tent and cuts the brush; while the other guide makes arrangements for the meal, cuts the wood and makes the fire; a good lesson in wood craft can generally be learned by the novice by help- ing in these operations, and with some little practice he will become quite skilled in making camp. If the camper is thrown on his own resources, a good way to get a meal is to cut a spruceling pole about six or seven feet long, drive it into the ground or weight the end with stones, support with a forked stick, then hang on the water tins, the weight of which will bring them down to the required height above the fire. Three tins are generally all that are required for cooking, to make tea or coffee, Soup, or pork and beans and have hot water for washing up. If the camp site is wet a fire may be made and left burn- ing for an hour or two. Care should be taken not to pitch the tent near dead trees that might fall during a storm, but do not keep too far away from dead timber to have it for fuel. A pocket map of the country you are going through will be found valuable on many occasions. If lost in the woods, do not lose your wits. If possible, climb a tree and try to get your location in that way. Notice the sun when you start out and when you are ready to go back figure out as best you can where the camp lies and try to make your course by the sun. As the most usual result is to travel about in a circle, the best plan is to fix upon some objective point as far away as you can see and travel toward it, but before you are quite close to the objective select another one farther on and in a direct line with your course. Continue this plan and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you will not find yourself at the place from which you start- ed a short time before. If you come to a river or stream follow it down-stream and it will bring you to some settle- ment or camp. Do not try short cuts. Do not go in bathing after a hearty meal and be care- ful when bathing in strange places, especially if unable to Swim, If a swimmer do not take risks in seeing how far THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 17 you can swim or dive, especially when you do not know the bottom—there may be sharp sticks, rocks or weeds. To maintain discipline in camp is most necessary, and its importance is all too quickly discovered, especially when meal time comes around. With a little careful thought, pleasant general details can be worked out and the minor details will be adjusted systematically. Around the Camp Fire. To build a CAMP FIRE over which cooking can be accomplished, select two medium thick green logs and level off the top with the camp axe. Set and brace these logs a few inches apart, so they will form a support on which the bottom of the cooking utensils will rest safely. Scrape a little trench underneath and with a few logs more form the windguard or radiator at one side. The two logs which are to form the sides of the cooking “range” should be ar- ranged so they are about six inches apart at one end and one to two feet apart at the other end, at which the baker may be placed, facing the glowing coals. The common error of amateur campers is to build too big a fire, ex- perienced cooks take out the unburnt wood before starting cooking, the novice puts on more and suffers from smoke accordingly for his ignorance. When leaving the camp ALWAYS BE SURE THE FIRE IS OUT or safe. This is most important, and it is also the law. Green wood is generally used for a camp fire that is intended for all-night service. CAMP COOKING. The duties of the cook and his helpers should be sys- tematized although it is customary for the guide to act as cook for the camping party. Eternal vigilance is the price of camp comfort and especial care should be exercised in the matters of cleanliness and refuse after each meal should be buried or removed far from camp to avoid flies. The 18 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE following recipes are taken from Dr. Breck's book, “The Way of the Woods,” by permission of the publishers, G. P. Putnam & Sons, New York and London. This book is an excellent and practical field manual intended to form a part of the kit of every camper, fisherman and hunter. It con- tains concise, thorough, and authoritative information on every subject connected with life in the woods, such as out- fitting, fishing, shooting, canoeing, tenting, trapping, pho- tography, cooking, hygiene, etc., and is to be recommended. It can be supplied by the publishers or the Anglers Publish- ing Co., price $1.75 net (postage, 15 cts.); 436 pages, 80 illustrations, pocket size. Nearly all camp cookery books presuppose the possession of materials which the majority of campers never carry with them, notably fresh eggs and milk. The following recipes are guiltless of either, dried eggs being recommend- ed when in camp, though not necessary, and evaporated milk taking the place of fresh. BISCUITS. (For four persons.) Mix into a quart of flour two teaspoonfuls of baking-powder, one teaspoonful of salt, and a piece of lard (or cold pork fat), size of an egg. Add one tablespoonful of Borden's evaporated milk (or two of milk-powder), and cold water enough to make a dough that can be rolled out, with a bottle or pin, on the bread board (of the folding-baker), one-half inch thick. Cut into biscuit form with the top of the baking-powder can or knife, and place in rows in the greased bread-pan of the baker, which is then placed before a hot fire. Keep your eye on the batch or it will burn. Turn the pan at the proper time. A sliver of wood thrust into the biscuit will prove whether they are done or not. If baked too slowly the bread will be hard and tough; if too quickly it will be raw inside. - If there is no pan the mixing may be done right in the flour bag itself, though it takes a little practice to do well. Do not knead bread much or it will be tough. BREAD is made like biscuit, but it is put into the pan without cutting. RYE and OATMEAL BREAD are made by substitut- ing one or the other for a greater or smaller part of the white flour. In rye-bread the ryemeal may predominate; in oatmeal bread the proportion may be about half and half. Those whose ambitions rise to the making of “real home” bread that must rise over night had better take some les- sons from mother before leaving home, as the science can- not be learned from books. Nor does the average wilder- ness camper have either the time or the proper pan for yeast-raised bread. JOHNNY-CAKE (Corn-bread). (Four persons.) Mix dry cornmeal and flour in the proportion of three to two (or half and half if preferred) with two tablespoonfuls of baking powder, one of salt, one of Sugar, and a piece of lard (or pork fat), size of an egg. Add tablespoonful of Borden's cream (or two of milk-powder) and make into THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 19 thick batter, which is put into greased bread-pan, and baked before the fire in baker. If dried egg is taken mix in two tablespoonfuls when dry. CORN PONE (hoe-cake). This is Johnny-cake baked in the frying-pan, which is propped up before the coals. It may also be baked on a flat stone. To make ASHCARE lay the mixed dough on a flat stone near the fire long enough for the surface to harden slightly, then cover it completely with hot ashes and leave it fifteen or twenty minutes. Brush off the ashes and eat soon. CERE ALS, such as oatineal, cream of wheat, etc., bear directions for cooking on the outside of the packages. HASTY PUDDING (cornmeal mush). (For four per- sons.) Add a scant teaspoonful of salt to a quart of boiling water and stir in gradually and thoroughly in order to avoid lumps, a heaping cup of cornmeal. Boil until soft and smooth (at least 20 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent burning and adding a little hot water when neces- sary. Practice will teach one the proper consistency. If too watery it will not slice well when cold. FRIED MUSH is one of the delicacies of the woods. Slice the cold hasty pudding and fry brown in pork fat. Serve with molasses, syrup, or butter. Cold oatmeal may be cooked in like manner. BOILED RICE. Wash cup of rice and put in two quarts of boiling water with large spoonful salt. Boil till done, stirring frequently. BUCKWHEAT CAKES are the best variety of flapjack. They are the easiest and quickest dish to prepare in the woods, for the self-raising buckwheat flour is merely mixed with the proper amount of cold water and large spoonfuls of it ladled into the very hot frying-pan greased with pork fat or butter. A hot fire makes crisp cakes, as likewise does a spoonful of molasses added to the batter. The best way to make cakes is to fill the pan with the batter and make one large cake at a time. When the under side ap- pears to be done more fat is put into the pan on each side and the solemn ceremony of flopping the cake takes place, by which the cake is tossed into the air and caught elegant- ly and precisely, raw side down, in the pan as it falls. Duffers are recommended to learn this elegant art at once, as only in this manner can a large cake, usually called the “cookee's flapjack,” be turned cleanly and with style. Don’t mind a failure or two, for nothing contributes more surely to the gaiety of nations and of camps than to behold the writhing disk shot confidently skyward, only to fall igno- miniously among the blue flames of the camp-fire and the remarks tinged with the same hue of the unfortunate “flop- per.” After every batch grease the pan again. Serve with molasses, syrup, or sugar and butter. FLAPJACKS (griddle cakes). (For four.) Mix dry as for biscuits (see page 18) (with the addition of two des– sertspoonfuls of dried egg if you have it), add the cream 20 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE “Flapjacks.” and water sufficient to make a thin, easy running batter. Fry and serve like buckwheat cakes. The addition to flap- jack or buckwheat batter of a cup of well-boiled RICE makes the cakes delicate and tender. VEGETABLES. All packages of evaporated and other dried vegetables bear directions for cooking on the labels. In regard to green vegetables it is almost wasted space to give directions, as the seasoning, time of cooking, etc., are matters of ex- perience easily learned. A few common recipes are never- theless added. POTATOES (too heavy except for easy trips). Choose those with small eyes. BOILED. Leave jackets on, wash, cut out bad parts, cut up if too large. Put into salted boiling water and cook until a sliver will go in easily. Strain and stand by fire. BA KED (one of the most difficult feats is to roast pota- toes well in the ashes without burning them). Put them in the coals, but with enough ashes over them to prevent burn- ing. Haul them out when you think they must be done, and return if necessary. The potatoes may also be wrapped individually in large leaves (or moist paper) and placed among the coals. FRIED BOILED. Slice cold potatoes and fry in a very hot pan with a lot of pork fat or bacon, Cubes of pork THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 21 improve them. Be careful about seasoning if pork is used. Woodsmen add sliced onions. - FRIED RAW. Slice raw potatoes very thin and fry in boiling fat a few at a time. Take out with a fork, straining off grease. STE WED. Cut up cold boiled potatoes into cubes half inch long and stew them in water mixed with cream and butter. Season to taste. BEANS. The large ones, limas and others, are best for boiling; the smaller sizes for baking. BOILED. Let a pound of pork boil for half an hour in just enough water to cover it. Parboil extra a pint of beans; drain water from pork and place beans round it; add two quarts of water, and boil steadily about two hours. Nessmuk recommends adding a few potatoes, peeled, a half- hour or so before the beans are done. BAKED. Boil beans and pork until the former begin to crack. Then drain, place pork in middle of a large kettle with beans around it; invert another kettle or other cover over this, place well down in glowing fire, and heap coals over all. Examine from time to time and add water if necessary. When the beans are thoroughly browned on top they are done. Ilumbermen place their big iron or earthen- ware beanpots in a deep “bean-hole” covered with coals, and no other baked beans can rival those of the lumber-camps. ONIONS. Dip in water before peeling and the eyes will not be affected. Boil in salted water twenty-five minutes to thirty-five, or until done. FRIED. Slice and fry in fat. Fried onions are gener- ally made in connection with potatoes or pork. An ONION FRY, beloved of guides, is a fry up of cold potatoes and onions, about half and half. DRIED FRUIT (apples, apricots, prunes, etc.) should be covered with water, and allowed to cook slowly until soft. Renew water as it boils away. DRIED POTA- TOES, which are light and really not bad, must be boiled before frying. MEATS. PORK. If it is very salt, parboil or at least soak it well. This is only necessary when pork is to be fried as a sepa- rate dish. Pork is mostly used as an ingredient in other dishes. FRIED PORK. Slice and fry slowly in the pan. Rather overdo it at first if you are not experienced and the next time you will know just when it is cooked right. Pork fat should be, whenever possible, poured off and preserved for cooking purposes. - - BACON. Cut off the rind, slice, and fry slowly, taking care that the fat does not become ignited by the fire. - Like pork, bacon is used mostly in other dishes. CANNED BEEF, TONGUE, etc. need no especial com- ment. 22 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE VENISON (including moose, elk, and caribou meat). Always tough until killed a week; better every day after that. If tough pound it well. - ROAST. Any part of the meat may be used but the best cuts for roasting come from the saddle and the shoul- der. Trim by cutting off superfluous bone and fat. There are three ways of roasting: (1) in the baker (the most con- venient); (2) on a split over the fire; and (3) in the “Dutch” oven. (1) IN THE BAR.E.R. Lay and pin (with slivers) slices of pork or bacon over the meat and sprinkle with a little flour, and with salt. Place in the pan of the baker and cover the bottom with water. Set before the coals and baste occasionally with the gravy. When done on one side turn the pan. Some insert thin slices of bacon into cuts in the meat (larding) before roasting. - (2) OVER THE FIRE. Prepare as before and skewer well. Thrust a spit, perhaps a hardwood stick, through the middle and rest its ends upon forked stakes on each side of the fire, which should be a glowing bed of coals. Time, two to three hours. Turn as needed. The spit should be long enough to allow the meat to be suspended over any part of the fire. The objection to this method is that, with- out special precautions, the outside flesh becomes hard. Buttered paper fastened on will partly prevent this. (3) IN A DUTCH OVEN (a large iron pot with a lid, popular in the West). Season and place in half inch of water in the pot and cover. From time to time baste with the gravy by means of a rag fastened to a stick. GRAVY may be made in the bake-pan; a little finely cut liver makes it rich. - STEAK. There can be, of course, only one opinion re- garding the comparative excellence of fried and broiled steak, the latter being in every way superior, both for palate and health. Broiling keeps the juices and brings out the flavor. BROILING. Cut from 1 to 1% inches thick, season with salt (and if desired, pepper), place in the broiler, and cook over or before glowing coals, the hotter the better. Turn frequently until done, then place on hot plate with a little butter. FRYING. If you must fry steak, then have the grease in the pan piping hot, so that an incrustation will form, preventing meat from absorbing the grease. As this rule is generally neglected by woodland cooks, their steaks are soggy with fat. After the meat is seared pour off as much of the fat as is not absolutely needed, and turn the steak frequently to prevent burning. If fried underdone with great care a steak cooked in this manner is often not bad. ROASTING ON STICKS is a favorite way to cook meat. A piece of seasoned meat is fixed to a forked wooden toaster, and either held or stood before the coals until done. This is a kind of broiling particularly adapted to small quan- tities. THE ANGLER’S GUIDE 23 GAME BIRDS. Grouse, quail, Snipe, woodcock, etc., like other game, must hang several days before cooking. Woodsmen often commit the crime of killing a grouse and slapping it into the frying pan almost before it is cold. Result: tough and tasteless. Grouse are best parboiled before roasting. TO BROIL. Pluck if there is time; otherwise skin and draw. To pluck, dip in boiling water. Open down the back, season, lay a thin slice of bacon or pork over each side, and place in the broiler. Broil over hot fire. TO ROAST' OVER FIRE. Dress and draw, and with- out splitting, place piece of bacon or pork in the cavity. Set up before the coals on a stick which may be turned as the bird cooks. TO ROAST IN BAKER. Dress, draw, place piece of bacon or pork in the cavity and pin a strip over the breast. Place in the pan of the baker in a very little water. Turn pan when necessary. NOTE. Woodcock need not be drawn until cooked, as the entrails come out easily then. - SOUPS. Canned soups are very good, but are admissable only to the easiest of trips on account of their weight and bulk, which consists almost entirely of water. Much better are the SOUP TABLETS made by Knorr, Maggi, and others. One package of Maggi’s costing five cents is enough for two persons. Knorr’s packages make about 3% pints each and costs ten cents. (See “Provisions.”) PEAMEAL SA USAGE (Erbswurst) makes a tasty and nutritious soup. POTATO SOUP. Mash boiled potatoes (usually left over) and put them into seasoned boiling water with a couple of onions cut up into small pieces. Cook until the onions are done, stirring frequently. CORN AND TOMATO SOUPS may be made of the canned vegetables, should they be available. Add neces- sary water and boil a few minutes. RICE SOUP is rather insipid, made of rice alone, and rice is therefore used mostly as a broth ingredient. BEAN SOUP takes some time to make properly, but is savory and wholesome, and is therefore a permanent camp- dish. About a quart of beans (for four persons) should be soaked over night in cold water, and then put into three quarts of cold water and boiled slowly for half an hour. Then drain off the water and add a like quantity of boiling water. Season and boil for an hour and add half a pound of pork sliced. When the beans are soft, fish out the pork, mash up the beans with a billet of wood or a bottle, and return the pork. Boil another quarter or half an hour. It burns easily unless stirred often. 24 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE PE4 SOUP, (from split peas) is made in the same way as bean Soup, but with more water, as it thickens quickly. It burns even more easily than bean soup. - TURTLE SOUP. Prepare the meat as directed above, season, and boil slowly for half an hour. A little rice may be used if desired. A dash of brandy helps the flavor. OATMEAL and CORNMEAL GRUELS consist merely in porridge thinned to the consistency of thick soup. BROTH is a staple luxury of the woods. It is all-com- prehensive, being composed of every toothsome ingredient that can be got into the kettle, but the chief element is a piece of some kind of lean, fresh meat cut into chunks about the size of an egg, which are put into the biggest kettle filled with cold water and allowed to simmer over the fire. When the meat is nearly cooked, any left-over meat may be added. When the meat shows signs of dropping to pieces add any vegetables, cut up, that may be on hand, as well as a little rice (in fact “any old thing”), and season. Paprika adds character. Skim off any grease that rises. Boil long and eat hot. º FISH. Needless to say, fish are best when they are freshest, al- though a few hours make no appreciable difference. To dress scaley fish, hold by the head and scale to tail on each side. Head, side and belly fins can be cut off at a stroke. Make cuts on each side of the back-fin and take this out. Trout, if small, are cleaned by severing head and gills and pulling them and the entrails all out together. Trout are scraped of slime. Heads and tails of small trout are left on. A slit down the belly will lay ‘bare the entrails of large fish. Wash and salt. A Marble fish-knife is a boon if many fish are in prospect. Bullheads, black bass and yel- low perch should be skinned before cooking. Make an in- cision about one-half inch deep on each side of the back- bone from head to tail. This loosens the dorsal fin which is then easily removed with this strip. Cut the skin around base of head, and with the pliers the skin can be removed entirely on one side at a time, with a quick movement. Remove entrails and cut off head. BOILED. If camping in a district where salmon, lake trout, and other large fish may be reckoned upon, a napkin or other piece of cloth should always be taken along to pin the fish in when boiling, else it will go to pieces in the kettle. Clean and cut off head, tail and fins. Either whole fish or pieces of two or three pounds’ weight may be used, pinned up in the cloth. Double the whole fish up if too large for the kettle. Most people prefer to place a small piece of pork inside the napkin. Cover with well-salted boiling water and boil slowly until done. Eat with butter or fish sauce (see Sauces). - BROILED. Clean and open down the back. Heads, tails and fins of small trout need not be removed. Place in the broiler with a slice of pork or bacon across each half, .THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 25 Do not broil too long or the fish will lose its flavor, dry up, and harden. Guides generally commit this fault. ROASTED. Clean a small fish, thrust a piece of bacon or pork into the belly cavity, salt on the outside, and im- pale upon a forked stick, which is then stuck in the ground near the coals and turned occasionally, or the toaster is cut longer and held in the cook's hand. As this can only be done with one fish at a time, it is usual for each camper to roast his own fish. There is no better way of cooking trout and some other fish than this, as all the juices and the flavor are perfectly preserved. It is even better, with trout and other delicate fish, to roast without pork or bacon, in order to preserve the true flavor. In this case the fish must be well salted inside and out. Larger fish may be split down the back and roasted on triple-pronged toasters cut from shrubs. SKE WERED. Skewer a half-dozen Small fish and as many pieces of bacon or pork, alternately, sandwich fash- ion, upon a stick, and roast. PLANKED. This is advantageous only with flat fish, like Sunfish, though any kind may be planked. Clean, split up the back, and tack with wooden pins upon a flat piece of wood or bark, tacking slices of bacon or pork over the upper part of the fish as it is stretched on the plank, which may be sharpened and thrust into the ground before the coals or merely propped up before them. FRIED. Sever backbone in several places to prevent curling up in the pan. Fish are lightly rolled in cornmeal and fried with sliced pork or bacon. The tendency is to fry too long, thus destroying the flavor. However, if the fish are very small, they may be fried crisp, like whitebait. In this case the heads of small trout are not removed. If no meal is available, dry crumbs will do as well. A drop of lemon juice brings out the flavor. BAKING IN CLA Y. First find your clay, and there's the rub, for the proper stuff is very, very rare. The fish need not be cleaned in any way, but is salted and filled with bacon, covered completely with the clay, and buried in the hot coals of the fire, where it may remain, if about a pound in weight, for $4 of an hour; if anything, less. Break the clay, and the fish is supposed to fall out ready for eating, leaving his fins, and hide adhering to the clay, The entrails will be but a hard mass and may be dropped out, like a bullet. STEAMING IN THE COALS. Draw the fish without removing head or fins, salt well, and, if desired, fill with pork or bacon. Wrap it in several layers of large leaves previously dipped in water and lay in the hot coals until done. The time necessary for this is hard to judge and must be learned by experience. However, there is a good deal of leeway before the fish is overdone, as the steam keeps it from drying up. On taking from the fire, remove the leaves and serve. If you hit it just right you will taste the most delicate fish that you ever put into your mouth. 26 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE CHOWDER. Cut the fish into pieces not larger than two inches Square, removing all the bones possible. Guides leave most of them in; but it will pay in the end to cut away even the ribs from trout, as they are very bothersome, Cover the bottom of the kettle with layers in the following order: slices of pork, sliced raw potatoes, chopped onions, fish, hard biscuit soaked (or bread). Repeat this (leaving out pork) until the pot is nearly full. Season each layer Cover barely with water and cook an hour or so over a very slow fire. When thick stir gently. Any other ingredients that are at hand may be added when the chowder is build- ing. (From “Seneca’s” Canoe and Camp Cookery.) ANOTHER CHOWDER. Prepare fish as above. Boil in plenty of salted water three sliced raw potatoes, three chopped onions, a large spoonful of rice, and a little paprika (half cup Julienne if available) for half an hour. Then add the fish and half a cup of diced pork and boil until done. Guides prefer more pork. SAUCES. WHITE SA UCE FOR BOILED FISH. Melt slowly in pan, piece of butter size of an egg and stir in thoroughly one heaping dessertspoonful of flour until smooth; add /. teaspoonful salt, a little pepper. Make a cup of milk with hot water and Peerless Milk or two dessertspoonfuls milk- powder. Mix well while boiling. ANOTHER. Put two tablespoonfuls butter and same of flour into a hot pan and mix into a smooth paste over the fire. Pour over them a pint of hot water (best is that in which the fish has been boiled) and stir in well. Boil up once and season. A few drops of lemon may be added. (“Seneca.” MUSTARD SA UCE (best for coarse fish). Melt butter size of large egg in pan and stir in one tablespoonful flour and half teaspoonful mustard. Boil up once and season. DESSERT. Most campers are satisfied to accept flapjacks, fried mush and molasses or syrup, and stewed fruit as full value for all sweets; but occasionally a fit of ambition attacks a cook to do something out of the ordinary. TEA. Into a dry, heated pot throw a heaping teaspoon- ful for each person plus two “for the pot,” or, if more than four persons, three extra. Over this pour boiling water, two cups for each person, and allow to draw for at least ten minutes next the fire before drinking. Never boil tea, Nessmuk to the contrary. COFFEE. In a dry, heated pot place two heaping des- sertspoonfuls of ground coffee for each person, and over this pour a pint of boiling water per person. Set next the fire for about ten minutes. If the water is absolutely seeth- ing, as it should be, it is better not to boil the coffee, as its flavor and aroma are thereby impaired. If eggs are plenty THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 27 in camp one may be mixed with the ground coffee, shell and all, before the water is added, in order to settle the brew. This may also be done by pouring in a little cold water after brewing. There is no objection to letting the coffee boil up for a second after putting it in the pot, but not longer. Nevertheless, the fact must be placed on record that the great majority of people do boil their coffee—at the expense of the aroma. - COCOA. Follow directions on the can. CAMP HINTS. A well-soaked cloth wrapped around a bottle or bucket will cool contents. Hang in the shade and in a breeze. Always carry with you a small quantity of salt. Vinegar boiled in kettles or pans, a small quantity in the water, will remove fishy odors and taste. To keep ants away from ration box nail to the four cor- ners of box small legs or wooden uprights. Place these up- rights or legs in center of saucers or old tin cans, partly filled with water or oil. A supply of rubber bands of various sizes are convenient at many times; also different sizes of safety pins. Do not sit or lie on bare ground; it is harmful and likely to cause sickness. Take a few yards of mosquito netting. It is easy to carry and means comfort at times. Do not have loaded firearms in the tent. A simple fall of a gun may have serious or fatal results. Do not have a dirty camp. Dispose of or burn refuse from the table. Do not throw it near the tent, or allow, it to be around, as it attracts flies and insects. Plan your work. Let each person have a certain amount of work allotted to him and everyone do his share. Keep the matches dry, in a bottle corked up, or air-tight Cà II. Signal of distress. Three shots in succession is the usual signal of distress in the woods. Carry matches. If you are a smoker this advice is un- necessary. There are times when wet and away from camp, that a fire is an absolute necessity. CAMP REMEDIES. Burns and Scalds.-Cover with bicarbonate of soda and lay wet cloths over it. Whites of eggs and oil. Dry flour and oil in a paste can be used. Lightning.—Dash cold water over a person struck. Sub- merge body in cold, running water up to neck, if possible. Sunstroke.—Loosen clothing, Get patient into shade, and apply ice-cold water to head. 28 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE Mad Dog Bite.—Tie cord tight above wound. Suck the wound and cauterize with caustic or white hot iron at once, or cut out adjoining parts with a sharp knife. Venomous Insect Stings, Etc.—Apply weak ammonia, oil, salt water, or iodine. Fainting—Place flat on back; allow fresh air, and sprinkle with water. Sore Feet.—Soak well and rub with soap, tallow, or vase- . line. Coat the inside of the socks with soap. Cover a badly chafed spot with surgeon’s plaster. Tests of Death.-Hold mirror to mouth. If living, mois- ture will gather. Push pin into flesh. If dead the hole will remain, if alive it will close up. Cinders in the Eye.—Roll soft paper up like a lamp lighter and wet the tip to remove, or use a medicine drop- per to draw it out. Rub the other eye. Drowning.—Approach the drowning from the rear, seizing them by the collar—if a woman, by the back hair—and tow them at arm’s length to safety. Do not let them cling around your neck or arms to endanger you; duck them un- der until unconscious, if necessary to break a dangerous hold upon you, but do not strike to stun them. Do not carry the patient face downward, or with feet higher than head. (1) Loosen clothing and expose neck and chest to the wind. (2) Empty lungs of water by laying body on its stomach and lifting it by the middle so that the head hangs down. Jerk the body a few times. (3) Pull tongue forward, using handkerchief, or pin with string, if neces- sary. (4) imitate motion or respiration by alternately com- pressing and expanding the lower ribs, about 15 times a minute. Alternately raising and lowering the arms from the sides up above the head will stimulate the action of the lungs. Let it be done gently but persistently. (5) Apply warmth and friction to extremities. (6) By holding tongue forward, closing the nostrils and pressing the “Adams ap- ple” back (so as to close entrance to stomach), direct infla- tion can be tried. Take a deep breath and breathe it forci- bly into the mouth of patient, compress the chest to expel the air and repeat the operation. (7) Don’t give up ! Peo- ple have been saved after hours of patient, vigorous effort. (8) When breathing begins, get patient into warm bed, give warm drinks, or spirits in teaspoonfuls, fresh air and quiet. Secure complete instructions from the U. S. Volunteer Life- Saving Corps. , º Keep the bowels open, head cool, feet dry and there will be little, if any, sickness in camp. For diarrhoea use Jamaica ginger. Do not eat fruit. Give doses of cascara or laxative pills for constipation, drink plenty of water and eat freely of fruit. Scalds.-Relieve instantly with common baking soda and soaking wet rags. Dredge the soda on thick and wrap with wet cloths. To cover with flour is good also. Colds.-Put on warm, dry clothing. Drink freely of hot ginger tea; cover well at night; give dose of quinine every six hours. THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 29 Toothache.—Warm vinegar and salt. Hold in mouth around tooth until pain ceases, or plug cavity with cotton mixed with pepper and ginger. Also hot whisky. Poultices.—Common soap and sugar, mixed; stale or fresh bread, mustard and flour, equal parts mixed with vinegar or water. Ivy Poison.-Relieved with solution of baking soda and water; use freely as a cooling wash. Also applications (ex- ternal () of whisky. Poisons.—In all cases of poisoning there should be no delay in summoning a physician. The most important thing is that the stomach should be emptied at once. If the patient is able to swallow this may be accomplished by emetics, such as mustard and water, a teaspoonful of mus- tard to a glass of water, salt and water, soapy water, to- bacco, etc., and copious draughts of luke warm water. Vomiting may also be induced by tickling the back of the throat with a feather. To Quench Thirst.—It is a good plan to rinse out the mouth often, taking a swallow or two only, than to drink too frequently. A pebble or button kept in the mouth will help quench that dry and parched tongue.

Inhabits lakes and ponds and deep parts of rivers. Aver- ages in weight from one to three pounds. Is often con- founded with and closely resembles the Striped Bass of salt Water. Bass, Yellow (Bar Fish, Brass Bass, etc.): Caught on a light Brook Trout rod or a small Black Bass bait rod, and a light reel, line, and leader, with minnow bait, in the lower Mississippi and its deep and sluggish tributaries. This species also resembles the Striped Bass (salt water), and is graded with the White Bass. Averages in weight from one to three pounds. Bream (Golden Shiner, Roach, Pin Fish, etc.): Caught on the artificial fly, the same as used for Brook Trout, and with small bits of worm, in streams, rivers, ponds, canals, and bayous where the bottoms are carpeted with aquatic plants.

Burbot (Fresh Water Cusk, Ling, Lake Lawyer, Losh, Eelpout): The only fresh water member of the Codfish family; found in deep parts of the larger lakes of Canada and the northern United States. The Burbot has a very wide range, extending through the Northern States to the Fraser River, the Arctic regions, and Alaska. It has been reported from as far south as Kansas, although none has been found south of New York on the Atlantic slope. Most deep lakes in New England contain the “Cusk.” Usual weight is not over four or five pounds, but it is known to reach eight or ten pounds. In Alaska some are said to have been caught weighing 60 pounds. The Burbot affects rather deep water, approaching the shore at night to feed.

Carp, Leather: Caught with the same bait and tackle as used for the King Carp. This species has only a few scales, —some specimens none at all,—and its skin is thick and soft. Together with the mirror-carp it has been the sub- ject of special culture and has been widely introduced in the United States. * Carp, Scale: Caught with King Carp bait and tackle. Sometimes attains a length of four feet. This species has regular, concentrically arranged scales. Carp, King (Mirror Carp, Saddle Carp, etc.): Caught in the summer at the pond bottom on any light fresh-water rod with worm, fish-roe or dough-paste bait.

Catfish (Cat, White Cat, Sea Cat, White Catfish, Halibut- Steak, Bullhead, Channel Cat, Blue Cat, etc.): Ready biters. Caught in bottom-fishing in rivers, lakes, and ponds, especially where bottoms are muddy. The common one- pound to four-pound Bullhead of the North and East, and the two-pound to five-pound White Catfish of the Potomac and Susquehanna, on light tackle; the four-pound to ten- pound Blue Catfish of the West and South, on medium . tackle, and the 100-pound Catfish of the Great Lakes, and the 150-pound Channel Cat of the Mississippi, on heavy tackle. Baits: Worm and small fish. Caught easily at night on a trot line. Chub: Caught on light Brook Trout tackle with worm bait. There are about fifty species in the West, Far West, and the South known as Chub and Mullet. They average from two to eighteen inches. Some forms attain a length of six feet. These are caught on heavy tackle. Utah Lake has two species. Numerous other species abound between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada. Among these are the Pescadito of the Rio Grande region, the Leather- Sided Minnow of the Provo River and Salt Lake Basin, and the Red-Sided Shiner of the upper Missouri and the Great Lakes. California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Ari- zona, and New Mexico have several species of Chub known THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 55 generally as Chub and Mullet. The Columbia and Sacra- mento Rivers have a species referred to as Pike and She- pawl that attains a length of four feet. Another species, found in the lower course of the Rio Colorado, attains a length of five feet. The Split-Tail, eighteen inches in length, is common in the Sacramento. The Cut-Lip Chub, Day Chub, or Negro Chub of eight inches is abundant in the basin of the Susquehanna. The Hard-Mouth Chub, found in the rivers of Oregon and Washington, attains a length of one foot. The River Chub or Horny-Head Chub, attaining a length of twelve inches, is found from New York to Utah and Alabama. Chub-Sucker: Caught with light Brook Trout tackle, with worm bait. It is abundant eastward of the Rocky Moun- tains, in still fresh waters from Canada to Florida and Texas. Its maximum length is about ten inches. Crappie (Croppie, Bachelor, New Light, Campbellite, Sac- a-lait, Chinquapin Perch, Bridge Perch, Goggle-Eye, Tin Mouth, Speckled Perch, Shad, John Demon, etc.): Caught on light Black Bass tackle in the Mississippi Valley and the Southern States, with worm and minnow bait. Frequents all running streams and lakes, around old snags or inlets. Is a ready biter. Weighs up to three pounds; one-pound specmiens are more common. This fish to the Southern an- gler is what the Strawberry Bass (northern croppie) is to the rodman of the North and West. Dace, Horned (Chub, Corporal, Corporaalen, etc.): Caught on the artificial fly with Brook Trout tackle and flies in all the small streams and ponds from western Massachusetts to Nebraska and southward. It is a handsome, lively game- fish, seldom exceeding a pound in weight. Drum, Lake (Sheepshead, Perch, Gray Perch, White Perch, Croaker, Crocus, Thunder-Pumper, Gaspergou, Jewel Head, Maleshoganay, etc.): Caught abundantly in large bodies of water throughout the Western States from the Great Lakes to the Rio Grande. Weighs up to sixty pounds. Eel: Caught on any sort of tackle in bottom-fishing with any sort of bait, worms in particular, in almost any water. A short and stiff but light rod and a short, stout leader are best for special service. Grayling: Caught during the autumn season in the stir- ring edge-waters of pools below rapids in clear and cold streams in Michigan and Montana and British America and Alaska, on a light Brook Trout fly rod and Brook Trout tackle. Is the most beautiful and graceful of American fresh-water fishes. Has a smaller and more delicate mouth than the Brook Trout, and takes the artificial fly more quietly, but is none the less a fine game-fish. Weighs up to less than two pounds. Brook Trout flies of subdued color are best for the Grayling—Oak, Queen of the Water, Brown Hackle, Professor, etc. Herring, Branch (Alewife, Allwife, Ellwife, Ellwhoop, Big- Eyed Herring, Gaspereau, Gasperót, Sprat, Whitebait, etc.): Caught on the artificial fly in Lake Ontario, the 56 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE large lakes of New York, and the salt rivers of the Atlantic coast. Is common in the Albemarle, Connecticut, and Poto- mac Rivers and off the coasts of Maine and Massachusetts. Herring, Inland (Alewife, Skipjack, Shad, Herring, etc.): Caught throughout the Mississippi Valley in all the larger streams, and Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. In the neigh- borhood of the ocean it descends to the Gulf. Attains a length of one foot. Feeds on crustaceans and worms. Maskalonge (Mascalonge, Muskellunge, Maskinongé, etc.): Caught with Small-fish and large-frog bait, on the stoutest bait-casting rod, and the same reel, line, leader, etc., used in ocean surf-fishing for Striped Bass and Red Drum. Found in the Great Lakes, and St. Lawrence River, and especially in Canada. Attains a length of from four to six feet. Is a member of the Pike family. Resembles the Pike and the Pickerel (same family) in form. Weighs up to eighty pounds. - Moon-Eye (Moon-Eyed Herring, etc.): Caught on the artificial fly and with minnow bait in Lake Pepin and other waters. Is a handsome fish but has no economic value. At- tains a weight of two pounds. Often takes the fly and dis- cards it before the angler can hook the fish. Perch, White (River Perch, Ruddy Bass): Caught on Brook Trout tackle with the artificial fly and with worm, shrimp, and small-fish bait in brackish and fresh waters— mostly on the flat clay and muddy bottoms of shallow places in tidal rivers. Found from Nova Scotia to South Carolina, and inhabits both salt and fresh waters. The average length of this fish is about nine inches and its weight one- half pound or less, but numerous specimens measuring four- teen inches and weighing two pounds or more have been taken, mostly in New England waters. Is abundant in the Chesapeake and its tributaries, the lakes and streams of the St. John River, New Brunswick, in the Tar and Neuse rivers of North Carolina, and the creeks that flow into the Delaware River. In fly-fishing, use small bright-colored flies of the Brook Trout patterns. - Perch, Yellow (Racoon-Perch, Yellow-Fin, Ring-Perch, etc.): Caught with Brook Trout tackle in nearly all ponds, rivers, and lakes of the Atlantic Slope on the artificial fly and with worm and minnow bait. A six-ounce bait rod for bait-fishing; a four-ounce fly rod for fly-fishing. Flies: Those of red, gray, brown, and white. Haunts: Sandy and pebbly bottoms partially covered with vegetation in quiet waters. Averages a half-pound in weight; specimens weigh- ing one, two, three, and even four pounds have been taken. Pickerel, Long Island (Brook Pickerel, Pond Pike, Trout Pickerel, Trout Pike, etc.): Caught with light Brook Trout tackle, in the ponds and streams of Long Island, New York. Is a diminutive Pike; does not grow much over ten inches in length. Favors worm and minnow bait and the artificial fly (Scarlet Ibis, etc.), which it will gamely rise to in the shallow streams. THE ANGLER's GUIDE 57 Pickerel: Caught on an eight-ounce bait rod and a bait reel with minnow and frog bait in rivers, lakes, and ponds from Maine to the Mississippi, and in Southern Canada. Weighs up to eight pounds. The Pickerel is a member of the Pike family and is the commonest fish of the kind. Pickerel, Humpback: Caught with the same bait and tackle as the Chain Pickerel. Common in the Mississippi Valley. Is a diminutive member of the Pike family. Pike (Jack): Caught with Maskalonge tackle and bait commonly in the Great Northern Lakes region—the same waters frequented by the Maskalonge which it rivals in size and fighting qualities. In the Eastern States the Pike ranges south to Ohio and north to Canada. The large speci- mens are often confounded with the Maskalonge.

In trolling, use a larger hook than for Black Bass, Snelled on wire, with spoon not smaller than No. 3; bait hook with minnow, lamprey eel or pork rind. It is not a Pike or a Perch: it is a distinct species that resembles both the Pike and the Perch, hence its name. Is found in Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Ohio, Georgia, Missouri and Ar- kansas. Frequents deep places in lakes, rapids and swift- moving waters.

Is angled for with much the same method as employed in Brook Trout fly-fishing. Leaps from the water when hooked. The tails of swift rapids, the pools between two cascades, and still, deep reaches are likely spots. Flies: Jock Scott, Fairy, Dusty Miller, Fiery Brown, Black Ran- ger, Dark Admiral, Silver Gray, and Silver Doctor. It has 58 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE been known to grow to the weight of 80 pounds. More gen- erally it weighs from ten to twenty-five pounds.

Abundant in Maine and in Quebec, especially Lake St. John and the Saguenay River. Weighs up to 20 pounds. Averages two to five pounds. Flies: Yellow, yellow and black, gray, red and gray, and brown and black. They seldom take a fly in the lakes. Salmon, Pacific: There are five well-known species which are collectively called Pacific Salmon. One is the Hump- Backed Salmon (garbuscha) which reaches a weight of from 3 to 6 pounds and is found as far south as Oregon or even in the Sacramento River. Another is the Dog Salmon (Keta), which attains a weight of about 12 pounds and ex- tends southward to the Sacramento River. This species is of little value. The Quinnat or King Salmon is the third. This reaches a weight of over 100 pounds, but the average in the Columbia River is about 22 pounds. It enters abun- dantly into the Sacramento River and still more numerously into the more northern streams. It is easily the most im– portant species of its genus. Another species is the Silver or Kisutch Salmon. This weighs up to eight pounds and is abundant southward to the Sacramento River, but is of lit- tle economic value. The fifth species is the Blue-Back Sal- mon (nerka), which attains a weight of from four to eight pounds and enters the Columbia River and its tributaries in abundance. It ranks next in value to the Quinnat. See “California Fishing.” All of these salmon are taken in nets.

Sole, American (Hog Choker, etc.): Caught on light tackle with small Flounder bait from Boston and Nahant to the mouth of the Mississippi River. Occurs in all the rivers south of the Susquehanna. Measures up to six inches in length. Along the Californian coast the common sole reaches a length of about 20 inches and a weight of five or six pounds. Spanish Flag: Caught on small-fish bait about rocky reefs of very deep water about Santa Barbara and Monterey. One of the most brilliantly-colored fishes in American waters. Weighs up to six pounds, and attains a length of 15 inches. - Spot (Lafayette, Goody, Chub, Roach, Masooka, Chopa Blanca, etc.): Caught on the same tackle as applied to the Cunner—small trout rod, click reel, light linen line and leader, split shot, etc.—with bits of clam, shrimp, and crab, regardless of tide from July to early November. Abund- ant from New York to the Gulf of Mexico. Averages a quarter of a pound in weight. Squeteague (Weakfish, Yellow Fin, Suckermang, Squit, Sea Bass, White Sea Bass, Corvina, She Cults, Checutts, Bluefish, Chickwick, Sea Trout, Spotted Trout, Salmon, Sea Salmon, Salmon Trout, etc.): Caught in the ocean and its surf, bays, rivers, creeks, channels, inlets, etc., by troll- ing in deep waters with an artificial squid of bone, cedar, or pearl; with a light casting-rod, multiplying reel, and linen line, by surf fishing with shedder crab and killie bait and the same rod and tackle, and in bay, flat, and channel- fishing by plying medium tackle—six or eight-ounce bait or trout rod, etc.—on shrimp, shedder crab, killie, and worm bait. The Atlantic and Pacific coasts are represented by several species. The Atlantic species weighs from one to ten pounds. A specimen weighing 30 pounds is on record. For the weakfish of the flats at flood tide use no sinker; or, at the most, a split shot. In the channels angle as the water rushes in at nearly flood tide, also at flood tide and as the water is rushing out. In the ocean, the ebbing tide is best. In the North, the season lasts from June to October, July, August and September being the popular months. In the South the squeteague is called spotted trout, sea trout, and salmon; on the Pacific coast it is referred to as sea bass, white sea bass, bluefish, sea trout, and covina. See “Cali- fornia Fishing.” THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 81 Squirrel-Fish: Caught with the Blackfish on small tackle with clam bait near Charleston, S. C., and southward to Brazil. Most common in West Indian waters. Is a bril- liantly tinted species, usually bright red in color. Sturgeon: Caught with heavy tackle in bottom-fishing in the larger rivers and estuaries during the summer. There are two species on the Atlantic coast, one with a shorter and blunter nose than the other. The Sturgeon leaps entirely out of the water at dusk. It attains a length of 15 feet and a weight of 1,000 pounds or more. Its mouth is upon the under surface of the head, and it has no teeth; it grubs for its food in the mud.

The largest species weigh up to four pounds; the smallest measure a length of five inches. - Sword-Fish: Caught on the heaviest tackle, along the Atlantic coast of America from Jamaica, latitude 18° N., Cuba, and the Bermudas to Cape Breton, latitude 47° N.; also in Southern California, latitude 34° N., and other waters. Most abundant on the shoals near the shore and on the banks during July and August. It measures from 10 to 15 feet in length, the sword forming about three-tenths of this length, and it acquires a weight of from 300 to 400 pounds. A different species is found along the California coast. See “California Fishing.” Tarpon (Tarpum, Jew-Fish, Silver King, Silver-Fish, Grand Ecaille, Savanilla, Grandykye, Giant Herring, etc.): Caught on a firm casting rod and special Tarpon tackle with mullet bait.

Tom Cod (Frost-Fish, Jack-Fish, Rock-Fish, King-Fish): Caught on light Flounder tackle in cool weather at the bot- tom of bays and rivers, at half-ebb and half-flood tides, with bits of clam and worm. Does not exceed twelve inches in length. Is not the young of the Cod, as generally sup- posed. Is found in the Western Atlantic from New York, at the south, to Cape Sable, at the north. A species is also found on the Pacific coast. Tuna': See Tunny. - Tunny, Long-finned (Albacore, etc.): Caught by trolling in the open Sea in June and July on the coast of California. Weighs up to twelve pounds. Found from San Francisco southward, abounding in the channels about Santa Bar- bara Islands, and especially at Santa Catalina Island.

BY CHARLEs FREDERICK Hold ER. THE FISHING GROUND. The Pacific Coast is washed by the great Japan Gulf Stream—the Kuroshiwo, which modifies the entire coast, giving it a Snowless, verdant winter, from north to south, permitting the existence of fishes of more or less semi-tropic appearance and habit. The winter is admirably adapted for out-of-door life, and from December to March, there is fair sea angling. The best season is during the summer, from April to November. The sea-angling ground of Cali- fornia and Oregon includes the region from about Ensenada to the mouth of the Columbia River, which, due to the varieties of fishes, may be divided into two regions. The coast line from Coronado to Monterey bay, and from there, north. In the first-mentioned the fishes are, in a general way, peculiar to the region, and they gradually disappear north. This section includes the following great game fishes: the yellowtail, sheepshead, white sea bass, tuna (three kinds), black sea bass, barracuda, rock bass, white- fish, albacore, bonita of two kinds, swordfish, and many more. The second region, from San Francisco north, loses these except in rare cases, but in their place has salmon of several kinds, sea trout, large halibut, cod, wolf-fish, and particularly fine steelhead and striped bass. If the angler is leaving New York, he may take the Sun- set Route via New Orleans directly to San Pedro, where the Santa Catalina boat meets the train at Los Angeles, and if the destination is San Clemente, he may charter boats at Avalon. Or, he may take one of the five Southern Pa- cific Co. steamers to New Orleans and from there take the Sunset Route to Los Angeles. If the Santa Barbara Is- lands are the attraction, he proceeds directly to Santa Barbara via Sunset line, and at the Potter or Arlington hotel is informed as to chartering boats for Santa Cruz or Santa Rosa Islands, remembering to obtain permission from the owners, also arranged through the hotel management. But the prime object of this article is to call the atten- tion of the angler, not to any one of these places, but to them all collectively, and to suggest the greatest fishing trip in the world, starting at Los Angeles in May or June, when the cool and delightful summer begins, and following the complete angling itinerary herein laid out, which includes an unparalleled amount and variety of fishing. Santa Cata- lina, San Clemente, May or June; San Gabriel Canyon, Santa Ynez River, Santa Cruz Island, Santa Barbara, Del Monte, Los Laurelles, Capitola and Santa Cruz, San Fran– cisco, mouth of Sacramento, Yosemite, Kern River or the THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 103 forks of Kings River, Tahoe, Nevada, Webber Lake, Truckee, Russian River, Feather River, Upper Sacra- mento, Mount Shasta Region, McCloud, Rogue River, Klamath Lake, Eel River, coast of Oregon, Coquille River, Wilson's River, and Columbia. Having fished all these places, and it can be done between May and October 15th; the angling possibilities of North America will have been well investigated and tested. THE FISHES. YELLOWTAIL–Characteristic among the game fish of the Los Angeles region is the yellowtail. It ranges north from Lower California, gradually disappearing at Monterey. The fish ranges up to 50 pounds in weight, and specimens have been seen weighing 80 pounds, but the average fish taken with the rod weighs about 17 pounds, running up to 30. Such a fish when taken on a nine-thread line and nine- ounce rod, gives the angler the play of his life and entails from 15 to 20 minutes or more sport when the fishes are at their best. They are fished for with a nine-ounce, six or Seven-foot rod, nine-thread linen line and a 7/o hook. The best bait is fresh sardine, smelt, or flying fish. The latter is often eighteen inches long, but a tempting lure for a large yellowtail. Two methods are in vogue: trolling with 80 feet of line out, and “still” fishing, i. e., drifting and chumming (baiting up the fish by throwing over the bait). At Santa Catalina, from Avalon to Seal Rocks, from Em- pire to Cabrillo Harbor, around Eagle Bank, Ship Rock, and Silver Canyon, where there is floating kelp off shore, yellowtail will be found under it, and are usually heavy and hard fighters. At San Clemente Island the yellowtail fishing is at its best. Anglers should outfit for camping at Avalon, and must take everything, even water. For per- mission to land, address The San Clemente Wool Co., Los Angeles, Cal. Good yellowtail fishing is to be had off San Diego, at the Coronado Islands, off Coronado Beach in the channel, in the Santa Catalina channel, off San Pedro, and Portuguese Bend. The best place on the mainland is on the Redondo piers where the water is deep, along the shore to Portuguese Bend by Rocky Point. WHITE SEA BASS—The white sea bass generally strikes Santa Catalina May 1st, appears at Port Hartford a little later, and in July and August is caught in vast numbers in Monterey Bay; but as a rule it is not taken in numbers along the mainland, surf-washed shores. This fish attains a length of six feet and a weight of 100 pounds. The rod record of the Tuna Club, by Mr. C. H. Harding who offers a cup for it, is 60 pounds. The average catch weighs 50 pounds, few fishes being seen under that weight. It is taken in the bays of Avalon, Cabrillo, Howland, and others, and makes a hard contest. The best bait is fresh flying fish, and the tackle employed that used for yellowtail 104. THE ANGLER'S GUIDE and prescribed by the Tuna Club. In August another Species, Smaller and slenderer, known as sea trout, can be taken with the salmon off Capitola, near Santa Cruz. The Tuna Club offers a gold medal for the largest fish each Season. This fish is taken in numbers at the Coronado Islands, at San Clemente, and is common in Lower Cali- fornia and in the gulf, everywhere affording fine sport. BLACK SEA BASS——The colossus of the fishes is the black Sea bass, the Tuna Club record being 436 pounds, sixteen-ounce rod, twenty-one-thread line. Two hundred pounders have been taken by boatmen on nine-ounce rods and nine-thread lines. The fish is peculiar to the region from Monterey south, and is found in greatest numbers about the islands, though occasional catches are made from the piers along shore. Specimens have been taken weighing 600 pounds, seven feet long. In appearance it bears some resemblance to the small-mouth black bass, if one can imag- ine this fish lengthened out to five or six feet. It has been caught trolling, but is usually fished for near kelp beds in 40 or 50 feet of water. The hook should be a large one, baited with five or six pounds of albacore or part of a bar- racuda. The Tuna Club offers a Black Sea Bass Cup. TUIWA.—Three kinds of tuna are taken in the Los An- geles region, and they are confined to the islands and chan- nel from Santa Catalina south, so far as rod fishing is concerned. It is caught every month in the year in the channel off Avalon. The yellow-finned tuna is very fickle and uncertain. Sometimes it comes in vast numbers, as in 1906. It is a new arrival in America, but is common in Japan. It generally appears in September, and is taken at Santa Catalina, San Clemente, and in the Coronado channel. The Tuna Club has a magnificent silver cup, donated by T. McD. Potter, of Los Angeles, for the largest fish taken with the Tuna Club rules. The fish is caught either by trolling or still fishing, with sardine bait or alba- core, and the large specimens often tow the boat a long distance. The record fish weighed 60 pounds, taken by A. Jerome Eddy, of Chicago. The blue-backed, the great leaping Tuna, is the emperor of all marine game fishes. It attains a weight of 1,300 pounds, in some waters, a length of eleven feet, and is the most active, hard-fighting fish known. But 67 anglers, out of thousands who have tried, have succeeded in taking a 100-pound fish with 16- ounce rod and 24-thread line. Both trolling and casting are successful, but mainly trolling. It appears in June and is caught from Avalon to Long Point, Santa Catalina, a dis- tance of four miles. Nearly all the catches which have made the Tuna Club famous all over the world, have been made here, due to the smooth water, and the fact that it is a natural feeding and spawning ground for the big fishes. Clear, smooth water is indispensable to tuna fishing, and no one should attempt it who is not in good physical con- dition. The Tuna Club angling trophies given in its annual THE ANGLER's GUIDE 105 tournaments, include many cups and medals for this splen- did fish. BONITO-Almost anywhere in deep water along the coast of this region, and in the bay of Monterey, will be found two active bonitos—mackerel-like fishes, ranging from five to 20 pounds. One is called the “Spanish mackerel” or Oceanic bonito, the other the “skip jack.” They must be sought in the channels or near the islands where, on the surface of the deep blue water, either trolling or casting, they afford the finest sport with the rod. Both appear in early spring and are taken until late in the fall, sometimes every month in the year, and often in great schools of yel- low-fin and long-finned tuna (albacore). Generous tackle is required for them, and sardine bait. The best locality is two or three miles off Avalon Bay, off Santa Barbara, Portuguese Bend, San Diego, San Luis Obispo Bay, Car- mel Bay, or Monterey Bay. The Tuna Club offers the Harding Bonito Medal for the largest fish during the tour- nament. - SWOI&DFISH-The swordfish is recognized as a game fish in California, and is taken with rod and reel at Santa Catalina up to 160 pounds, nine or ten feet long. It is caught trolling, as for tuna, with flying fish or sardine bait, generally a mile off shore. It is not a common catch, yet three or four are taken every summer. The Tuna Club offers a Swordfish Cup. The record rod catch is 165 pounds. The fish is long, slender and active, totally unlike the ordinary swordfish of the Block Island region in the Atlantic, and affords all the spectacular playing of the tarpon, with much more excitement. BARRACUDA—In spring, vast schools of barracuda (barracouta) weighing about twelve pounds, appear, which take a spoon in trolling or Sardine bait, or can be caught still-fishing. The barracuda, one of the most valuable food fishes in California, is taken all along shore as far north as Monterey. DOLPHIN–On open water, generally about, or under floating islands of kelp, is found the most beautiful fish of the seas—the dolphin, which changes its colors when caught. When hooked, it leaps and gives exciting play. This fish is often taken in Monterey Bay, and many were seen and taken off Avalon in 1907. WHITEFISH-Nearly all the fishes above mentioned are taken on the surface of deep water, but there are many more found on the bottom which rise to the rod and afford fine sport. First among them is the whitefish, attaining here a length of two feet and a weight of twelve and often fifteen pounds. When the whitefish strikes, it generally first hammers violently on the line, then begins a fight which often deceives the average angler into thinking he has a much larger fish. Bait for the whitefish is sardine, though 106 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE it is not a dainty feeder, and it should be chummed to the surface and taken by casting, with a light sinker. It is found in all the Southern district waters at a depth of from ten to fifty feet, living in rocky and kelp-like places. It is a fine table fish. The best place for it is at the gov- ernment island of San Clemente, where fishes of very large size are taken. SHEEPSHEAD–This is a fine game fish, ranging up to 15 pounds, and lives among the kelp on rocky bottom and feeds on shell fish. It is a valuable food fish. All along the coast where there is no surf it is taken with the rod. Crayfish or abalone bait should be used. ROCK BASS—One of the common catches everywhere in the kelp, and at San Clemente, and the Santa Barbara and Coronado Islands and Monterey are the rock bass, weighing up to twelve pounds. They can be taken in vast numbers, often seriously interfering with the capture of larger fishes by rushing to the surface and gorging baits of large size, having all the fighting habits of the black bass of fresh water, but not the persistence. BOTTOM FISHES-There are many kinds of these bass, and with them a fine game fish, the Blue-Eyed Perch, of five or six pounds. Besides these there are others, as the Halibut, Flounder, Sting-Ray of several kinds, Angel Fish and Big Mouth, occasionally taken by anglers, emphasizing the fact that the waters of this region are remarkable for their variety. * SURF FISHES-Along the mainland shores, taken from the beach and from the fine piers from Coronado north, are a number of fishes called surf, or roncadors, from the fact that they feed in the surf on a little sand crab. Anglers, and particularly members of the Southern California Rod and Reel Club, cast from the beach into the surf, and have good sport, the fishes running up to ten or more pounds. Others are corbina, yellow-fin, flounder, halibut and croak- ers. The localities most in favor for them are Manhat- tan, San Pedro, Terminal, Santa Barbara, Long Beach, Port Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Port Hartford, Playa Del Rey, Venice, Hermosa, Bay City, Pizmo, Alamitos, Sunset Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport, Balboa, San Juan by the Sea, Del Mar, Naples—in fact, all the beaches on the mainland shores north to Monterey and the beaches near San Francisco. Nearly all these towns below Santa Barabara are near Los Angeles and reached by the South- ern Pacific or the electric line, so that angling parties can go to them with ease and convenience, and in summer thou- sands of anglers line the beaches of this region. Those north, between Santa Barbara and San Francisco, are all on the Southern Pacific, which, with its Coast line and branches, skirts the shores of the Pacific. Santa Cruz and Del Monte, both great gathering places for fishermen, are on short branches. THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 107 SALMON.—Two species of salmon are taken at Del Monte, in Monterey Bay, and on the Sacramento River quinnat, which reach a weight of 100 pounds, and the dog Salmon, or calico Salmon, ranging from seven to ten pounds; and north of the Sacramento, especially in such rivers as the Rogue, the silver salmon, five to eight pounds. But the big game Salmon of Monterey, a common catch at 30 or 40 pounds, is the quinnat king salmon, or Chinook. It prob- ably lies off or near the mouth of the big rivers which it enters to spawn. The salmon here are evidently preparing for the run, feeding all summer in the Carmel and Mon- terey Bays and off-shore six or seven miles. By October, they are entering the Sacramento in numbers, though they run up in the Spring and summer and they ascend the Sacramento 400 miles. The average weight of the Monterey quinnat is 16 pounds, but 20, 30 and 40-pounders are brought in in large numbers daily. The starting point may be on either side of the bay; at times the fish seem to favor the Santa Cruz side and Santa Cruz or Capitola becomes the embarking place. , On the Atlantic coast of England and America there is but one salmon (Salmo salar). On the Pacific Coast the angler has the choice of five, but very different, as all the Pacific species of both sexes die after spawning. The larg— est, gamest and best from an economic standpoint, is the King Salmon, the common fish of Monterey Bay and the Sacramento, Columbia and other rivers, as the Rogue and Feather. They do not take a fly, as they do not feed in fresh water, and doubtless only take a spoon when it an- noys them, arousing their predatory instinct. When from two to three years old, they leave salt water, go up the rivers, spawn and die. This fish, which attains a weight of 100 pounds, swims far up the Columbia River to spawn. It has a high economic value all along the coast. This sal- mon affords great sport all summer in Monterey Bay and far north. - THE RED SALMON.—Equally valuable is the red sal- mon, ranging up to eight pounds. Its flesh is red and coarse. In the sea its belly is white in the early run; later becomes crimson. This fish spawns in streams which run into lakes only. When both salmon are going up, the reds in a body will turn up their stream, which leads to a lake, while the Chinooks will continue on to snow-fed heads. SILVER SALMON.—This salmon ranges up to ten or fourteen pounds; is slightly spotted and does not change to red as the preceding. It is very common and only goes up rivers a mile or so to spawn. Its flesh is pale. DOG OR CALICO SALMON.—Another species is the dog or calico Salmon, with similar habits, ranging from San Francisco north, and to Japan. HUMPBACK SALMON.—The humpback salmon is a di- minutive species, not over six pounds in weight, and is 108 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE easily recognized by the large black spots on the back. It ranges from Puget Sound north. The hydraulic mining in the Sacramento River destroyed the spawning grounds of the King salmon, but the State is now placing millions of young in its waters and the sport is better than ever, about the famous bay of Monterey, where the Chinook gathers in myriads in summer, feeding on Sardines and anchovies, a last meal, as when it enters fresh water in September its stomach shrinks and shrivels. TROUT-The trout noted below, the Rainbow and its allies, with the exception of the Dolly Varden, are all near relatives of the salmon, in fact dwarf representatives of the Atlantic salmon. Dr. David Starr Jordan says of them: “They have the habit of salmon, will go to the sea if they can, and spawn at the head of small streams hundreds of miles from sea, and often over a mile above it.” CUT-THROAT TROUT-Prboably the oldest American trout, the original stock, is the cut-throat (Salmo clarkii), which ranges from Alaska to Eel River, California, and east to Montana. It is so called from the red dash just below the under jaw. Its head is long, a fourth the length of the well-spotted body. Its color and size varies with conditions. It spawns in the spring, seeking brooks and shallows; a fine, handsome fish, a good fighter in swift water. TAHOE TROUT-The Tahoe trout (Salmo henshawi), is a descendant of the cut-throat, found in Tahoe, the Truckee, Lake Pyramid, the Carson and Humboldt Lakes, and has found its way into the Feather, Stanislaus and Mokelumne Rivers. It is a cut-throat, browner, yellower, with larger spots. The adult fish weighs three pounds, but in deep water attains to 28 or 30 pounds. Salmo tahoensis is a cousin. The Crescent trout (Salmo clarkii), comes from Crescent Lake, Washington; a splendid game fish of eight or even twelve pounds; fine spots; no red dash. The Beardslee trout (Salmo beardsleei) is also found in Cres- cent Lake in deep water, ranging from ten to fourteen pounds. e STEELHEAD TROUT=The steelhead trout (Salmo rivularis) ranges from Skagway to Alamitos; one of the largest and finest of the group; game, hardy, intelligent, and a high and lofty jumper. Salmon trout, according to Dr. Jordan, is a good name for it. Habits are like those of salmon, and it does not go far to sea. In salt water it is silvery; in fresh water spots appear. It ranges in weight from two to 25 pounds. Enters streams from ocean in September and October; spawns at headwaters in April or March, does not die after spawning. The fall run aver- ages three pounds. In December and January there is an- other run of larger fish, from ten to 25 pounds. They spawn in July at headwaters. The famous steelhead rivers THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 109 are Eel, Garcia, Russian, Paper Mill Creek, Marin County, and all lagoons north of the Santa Ynez. RAINBOW TROUT-The rainbow trout (Salmo iridews), named by Dr. Jordan in 1878, is the common trout of California brooks and permanent mountain streams. One of the hardest fighters and one of the best food fishes. Flesh is white or deep red. The rainbow is mature at six months and attains a weight of 25 pounds. Nearly all have a rainbow-like sheen. It runs up stream to spawn, taking small falls in March, but in Pelican Bay, Klamath, is found with spawns every month in the year. It takes a fly, grasshopper or minnow. Ranges far down into Lower California and varies much in shape and weight in different localities. In the Feather River, where the water is cold and fairly swift, it is very game, and a splendid leaper. OREGON BROOK TROUT-This beautiful trout (Sal- mo masoni) was found in the Cathlapootl River by General McClellan. It is very similar to the rainbow; weighs about one pound. Kern River trout (Salmo gilberti), attractive and game, especially in Marble Canyon, is found in the Kern, Merced and Kings Rivers, and various streams of the Southern Sierra Nevadas. In the streams it is small, but in lakes, as Kern, it attains a weight of twelve pounds and possibly more. GOLDEN TROUT-Originally described by Dr. David Starr Jordan, the eminent authority on fishes, the golden trout is found in the high Sierras, in Kern River and vi- cinity. Several species are now known. (Salmo whitei, Evermann), from Soda Creek; (Salmo agua bomita, jor- dan), from the South Fork of the Kern, and (Salmo roose- velti), from Volcano Creek. It is a small trout, an eager biter, very game and very unsophisticated. It is unlawful to take it. Its belly is a rich yellow-golden, and a yellow sheen is all over it. It has taken its color from the strange volcanic region in which it lives. DOLLY WARDEN TROUT-The Dolly Varden trout (Salvilinus malma) is found in Upper Soda Springs; a beau- tiful fish, dotted with large crimson dots. It ranges from Japan to the upper Sacramento, where it is found in all the branching streams, the McCloud and its tributaries, also in the upper Columbia; north of Puget Sound it runs to the sea, and then looks like a steelhead. It is the “salmon trout” of Alaska, the “bull trout” of Washington, but in California it is styled the Dolly Varden. It ranges up to ten pounds, and is a fine game fish. The big trout of the Yukon is identical with the great lake trout of the Mackinaw. ALIEN FISHES-The striped bass is now affording much sport in California. It is found in the Sacramento, a few in Southern California, in Del Norte County and Eel River. Eastern brook trout have been introduced into the 110 THE ANGLER’S GUIDE streams of Fresno and Tulare Counties, which have had no trout, in the streams of the giant forest, Paradise Valley, Sequoia and General Grant Parks; also in some of the little known lakes near Glen Alpine, Tahoe, Rubicon and Velma Lakes. They are also to be seen in the brooks lead- ing off the Feather River. HAYDEN LAKE, IDAHO. Hayden Lake is situated far up in the mountains of Northern Idaho, but is easily reached from Spokane, Wash.; 40 miles, by the Spokane & Inland Empire R. R. Co. (the Inland Empire System). It is at an elevation of 2,242 feet above the sea level and is almost entirely surrounded by the Coeur d’Alene National Reserve. Delightful side trips can be made from Hayden by trolley and steamer to Shadowy St. Joe River, Lake Coeur d’Alene, Liberty Lake, Spirit Lake and Pend d'Oreille River. Sportsmen, as a rule, are safe in taking an Indian’s word in choosing the best fishing grounds. Indian legendry holds Hayden as exceed- ing all other Spokane lakes for trout fishing, and sportsmen of to-day agree that this contention remains true. Hayden is from seven to eight miles in length, has no outlet, and with the exception of two or three creeks is fed by moun- tain springs. In its clear, cool depths the cut-throat trout finds a natural home and consequently Hayden trout are famous for their avidity and solidity—important features to be considered in catching and eating. Idaho is without a closed season for fish, and fly-fishing may be enjoyed from May to October and trolling in the colder months. State license for non-residents, $1.00. Sportsmen can find best accommodations either at the Bonzanta Tavern or in the comfortable log cabins at all seasons. Plenty of light, easy rowing boats and several steamers and launches for reach- ing the fishing grounds or touring the lake. Sportsmen after big game find deer, brown and black bear in the ranges east and south of the lake. |BUNGALOWS AND CAMPS. The most popular summer camp that is located for com- fort as well as permanence is the bungalow type. The rise and spread of the bungalow idea in residence architecture during the past few years has been remarkable. Originally a summer cottage adaptation of the Southern California mission style, it is now a popular design for inexpensive permanent homes along lake shores, rivers and in all sum- mer resortS. The materials best suited to the construction of the bun- galow depends largely on the locality where it is to be built. An exterior of shingles will always be popular, as THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 111 they can be hauled easily, are inexpensive, and whether stained or left natural always harmonize with the surround- ings. Stucco is also becoming very popular, as it can be stained any color, and while the first cost is about 15 per cent, greater than shingles, the lasting qualities are greater and the cement is fireproof. This last feature is an im- portant item, especially where the bungalow is outside of the fire protection zone. Field stone, if located on or near the property, makes a splendid material to be used on the porches and exposed chimneys, giving a rustic effect, which it is hard to produce in any other way. The interior arrangement depends largely on the needs of the owner. If the house is to be used only as a summer home, the living room and veranda are the two important features. The living room should be large, light, and cen- trally located; that is, the other rooms should be grouped around this room. A large open fireplace is an essential feature, as it not only makes the room look cheerful and homelike, but is the only means of heating the room in the early summer and in the fall. In many instances the living room is also used as the dining room, but where the space is available a separate dining-room is a desirable feature. In most large cities there are reliable manufacturers of portable house and bungalow equipment, who can be con- sulted for details. Several good suggestions for summer dwellings are here republished by courtesy of “The Ladies' Home Journal.” The cost of each does not exceed $300. The descriptions were submitted as follows: No. I, by Al- bert Charles Wiser; II, by William H. Tuttle; III, by Ly- man D. Cook; IV, by F. Albert Starr. Elevated Camp. 112 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE Here is a novel solution of the problem “how to spend the summer vacation,” in this elevated damp-proof camp, with roomy porches, an outdoor dining-room, and a sleep- ing-room which will accommodate from twelve to fifteen persons. Against the rear wall of this room are eight built-in bunks—three on each side and two in the middle— screened by a curtain. In the main part of the room there is space for half a dozen cots. A stairway leads from the sleeping-room directly to the dining-room. The dining- room is open on three sides, the rear being inclosed with movable sash, which can be stored in the room above during the winter. In most cases the wide overhang of the porches will be sufficient protection in stormy weather, but to guard against driving rains canvas drop-curtains have been pro- vided.

Should there be no trees available wooden posts will do as well. Then span the distance be- tween the upright trees with girders of felled trees, and upon these girders lay the joists and floors. The super- structure is built of surfaced studs, sheathing the sides with beaded stuff, having the surfaced faces turned inward. The rafters of the roof are sheathed and covered with a three- ply roofing felt. On the sides cedar shingles are used, laid eight inches to the weather. The bunks are of plain 79-inch stuff. In the dining-room the sash are each 36 by 72 inches, glazed, having 2%-inch side styles rabbeted, so as to overlap each other 1% inches. At the top these sash slip into a THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 113 channeled groove, and at the bottom rest on a continuous rabbeted plate, the sash being held in place by a movable wooden stop. In the kitchen one panel should consist of two 36 by 36-inch sash, with the top one hinged for ventilating purposes. The casement sash of the mullioned windows, if cut up into the diamond pattern, would add $50 to the cost. If plain sash are used the cost should be in accordance with the estimate on the left, which is based on prices in the vicinity of New York City. The design of this camp is so simple that no plans nor specifications have been pre- pared; any local carpenter could build it satisfactorily from these illustrations and the explanatory text. II. Cumberland Mountain Cabin. This little cabin is in the Cumberland Mountains, at Mont Eagle, Tennessee, which is the seat of the leading Southern Chautauqua, 2,300 feet above the sea. It cost less than $300 to build. The inverted tree stumps, quantities of hollow logs, curiously-formed branches of trees, the old- time flowers, hop and gourd vines, which are all around it, together with the magnificent view of the valley below, make the spot truly ideal. The cabin is built of smooth, round oak logs with the bark left on. These logs are chinked with small blocks and then daubed both inside and outside with mortar made of lime and sand. The cabin is covered with oak clapboards. The interior has been most carefully planned. There is a hall ten feet wide running clear through the house from porch to porch, and on each side of this hall is one room 16 feet square and 12 feet high. The fireplace is the distinctive feature of the sitting-room. 114 THE ANGLER’S GUIDE It is large enough for six-foot logs, which burn brightly in season, making the kettle sing cheerily for the entertain- ment and comfort of visitors. The mantel is one long pro- jecting rock, with smaller pieces here and there forming convenient receptacles for ornaments. Home-made rugs and dressed skins cover the floor. One box-couch, a bass- wood settle, a bookcase, a teatable, a candle-stand and four split-bottom rockers constitute the furnishing. Jars of wild flowers and growing plants make bright the interior; hop vine, bramble and last year’s birds’ nests ornament the walls. The hat-rack in the hall is made of buffalo horns. Everything about the place is truly sylvan. In the bedroom three shelves across a curtained corner serve as toilet; a hollow oak log, sawed the desired height, with bowl fitting in top, and an arrangement to carry off water under the floor, makes a unique washstand. Two bunks on opposite sides of the room, covered by old-time woven spreads—one blue and red, the other red, white and blue—are conveniently arranged to fasten up against the wall in the daytime. These things, with two knit rag rugs, P.O O Nº 16' x 16’ T <-- --> O * | O O § mº *— O CA.

THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 115 III. Rustic Cottage. The cost of a cottage like this, which is at Lake George, New York, may be from $150 up to whatever one can afford to pay. This one cost less than $300, which was our limit. The whole cottage, from the floor plan to the finished build- ing was entirely our own thought, no architect being con- sulted. The floor plan is 20 feet by 40, including the porch along the entire front. The rooms are nine feet high. The outside was first boarded over and then covered with hemlock slabs with the bark left on. These slabs were carefully selected at a mill and the edges squared that they might fit closely together. A perpendicular row of four- foot slabs was first put on, then four horizontal rows, mak- ing two feet in height, and then a second perpendicular row of four feet. Thus the body is entirely covered with hemlock bark. The shingle roof is stained a dull red, and the window casings are painted white. The posts for the porch are cedar with the bark left on. As the land slopes toward the lake the front of the build- ing is four feet higher than the back. This space under the front, as well as along the sides, is filled in with rock-work. The windows are all on hinges and open into the house. The whole inside is ceiled and the partitions are of matched boards. The living-room and the cozy-corner are really one, only slightly separated by grille-work. The walls are cov- ered with irregular panels of matting, such as comes around tea chests, the delicate green tint of which furnishes a fine background for such pictures and other articles as one wishes to use in decoration. The matting is tacked on, the joints being covered by a 73-inch thin moulding stained moss green. The ceiling is covered by panels or sheets of thin birch bark, the joints here also being covered with the narrow moulding. The ceiling of the dining-room is var- - 116 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE nished; the walls are painted for three feet from the floor a light olive drab; above this a heavy crêpe paper of light yellow is tacked on, the joints here, as in the living-room, being covered with the moulding. The kitchen and sleep- ing-rooms are left in the plain wood finish. The contract for erecting the cottage was let to a carpenter, but we put on the matting and birch bark ourselves. The cost of the cot- tage as it stands was $203.58, made up as follows: Lumber of all kinds...….$177.96 Carpenter labor ..............................................…... 77.I.

Here is an unusual scheme for a low-cost camp which was occupied last summer by a family of four. The arrange- ment consists of a central building, containing a living- THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 117 room and kitchen, and two sleeping-rooms, with matched spruce floors and canvas roofs and walls. The central building has a single floor and the walls are covered with matched pine boards, planed; it is roofed with matched spruce boards, over which heavy roofing paper is tacked. In the living-room there is an open fireplace, with a seat at the left, and the kitchen is fitted with sink, shelves and range. The timber plates of the sleeping-rooms are of 2x3 in. stuff, placed 5% feet above the floors, and the canvas roofs are double. The 2x6 in. ridge poles, projecting 9 inches beyond the face of the plates, are fastened at one end against the walls of the main building with the outside ends carried by 2x3 in. rafters. The under covering of the roofs is laid over the ridge poles, continuing a little over the side plates and tacked to round poles, which prevents the canvas from sagging. Over the canvas along the ridge poles 73:2 in. strips of wood are fastened with screws to hold the canvas in place and to prevent the outer cover or fly from touching the inside cover. The outer cover is also held in place by %x2 in. Strips, which are screwed to the ridge poles over all. At the eave lines this cover is also tacked to round poles, and one end of the poles secured to the walls of the central building and the other held in place by narrow board braces slant- ing inward. This arrangement eliminates the usual ropes and pegs in the ground, which are always in the way. Where the canvas roof comes against the main building the canvas is turned up, a wooden strip placed over it and the whole screwed to the walls. The canvas of the side walls of the sleeping-rooms is put on in the usual manner. Both the front and back piazzas are of light construction, with canvas roofs. When the camp is not in use all the canvas is taken down and stored in the central building. Actual cost of this camp: Lumber and mill work, $105; roofing, hardware and paint, $26; mason and bricks, $25; canvas, $20; labor, $116; total, $292. | KitchEN : 12'0"x 12' 0" -— Pl/AZZA G'O’K/2"O" | # = SEAT ſº - WONTEN'S MEN'S SLEEPING ROOM LIVING-ROOM - SLEEPING ROOM.

It is said that we delay making our vacation plans until the heat drives us from the city, and then in desperation we collect a handful of summer resort literature with alluring descrip- tive tales of lakes, mountains, rural retreats, and watering places not far from home, and conclude that next year we will square accounts with ourselves by deciding on our sum- mer plans early, and thus lay out a trip a little aside from the beaten path. Only those persons who have reduced the art of taking a vacation to a science, and who know that complete rest is found only by going to those distant places where the resi- dents talk of new subjects in a new dialect, and where the , thoughts of the rest-seeker are never once driven back to the channels they have followed the year around, have found how bounteously Canada has been made the playground and summer land of North America. The thousand-and-one delightful retreats across the bor- der can be reached without discomfort and without heavy expense. Canada may pride itself on the excellence of its great railroad systems. The Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk, Canadian Northern, Intercolonial, and Dominion At- lantic lines, and many smaller railways, will transport the angler or rest seeker to the most remote points of Canada with so much comfort that every person who takes the trip once is likely to become a yearly patron. The wonders of Newfoundland, reached by the Reid Newfoundland Co., are described elsewhere. British Columbia, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are also to be found under separate headings. The better-known districts in Ontario and Quebec are as follows: BAY OF QUINTE—Reached via Trenton and Belleville, Ont., on the Grand Trunk Railway System, and also at Kingston. The Richelieu & Ontario Navigation Co. and other steamboat lines operate here. Maskalonge, black bass, wall-eyed pike, etc., abound. LONG POINT BAY (LAKE ERIE)—Black bass are plentiful. Best bait are minnows, which can be procured in quantity and without difficulty at the fishing grounds. Also found here are pike and pickerel. Fishing grounds are reached by the Grand Trunk Railway System and ex- cellent accommodation is provided at Port Rowan, Ont., Saint Williams, Ont., and Port Dover, Ont. THE THOUSAND ISLANDS—This archipelago ex- tends from Kingston, at the outlet of Lake Ontario down the St. Lawrence River to Brockville, Ont. Black bass, maskalonge and pickerel are plentiful. Kingston is reached by the Grand Trunk Railway System or the New York Central Lines on the American side. The Rideau Lakes Navigation Co., Kingston, operates with excellent service between Clayton and Ottawa. THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 119 SEVERN RIVER—Is a fine stream about 60 miles long, many small streams emptying into it. Good fishing is found in this region, which also includes Sparrow Lake. It is reached through Severn on the Northern Division of the Grand Trunk Railway System, and Sparrow Lake on the Canadian Northern Ontario. Fly-fishing for bass is sometimes effective on the Severn River, especially at the foot of one of its numerous rapids. HALIBURTON REGION.—Haliburton is 123 miles north of Toronto, situated on Head Lake. Excellent trout fishing. Reached by the Grand Trunk Railway System. The trout lakes in this region are not as easy of access as some of the other districts, and the distance to the several localities averages 15 to 20 miles, which has to be covered in wagons over somewhat rough roads. There is no accommo- dation at any of the lakes, and camping must be resorted to. TEMAGAMI-The Temagami region is a forest reserve, under control of the Ontario Government, and covers an area of approximately 3,750,000 acres. It is at an altitude of 1,000 feet above the sea. The fish include the small-mouth black bass, speckled trout, lake trout, wall-eyed pike, pike- perch or dore, and common pike. This region includes Lake Temagami, Lady Evelyn Lake, Lakes Obabika, Matawabika, Bay Lake, Rabbit Lake, Anina, Nipissing and a hundred smaller lakes, together with the best portion of the Montreal River. STE. ANNE DE BELLEVUE (Province of Quebec)— Fishing in the waters at and in very close proximity to Ste. Anne is exceptionally good. Black bass and wall-eyed pike are most plentiful, and maskalonge is found in reasonable abundance during the open season; in fact, the maskalonge grounds, while lie something about seven miles below Ste. Anne and in easy access to the village, are among the very best in Canadian waters. Last year the record fish taken at this resort tipped the scales at 57 pounds. Reached by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunk System. LAKE OF BAYS-Splendid small-mouth black bass and lake trout fishing can be had in the Lake of Bays. In the streams and lakes within a few miles of this main water, is some of the best speckled trout fishing in Ontario. Splen- did hotel accommodation. The Lake of Bays district com- prises Lakes Vernon, Fairy, Peninsula, Mary, and the Lake of Bays, and is reached via Grand Trunk Railway to Huntsville, 145 miles north of Toronto, and thence by steamer to any of the many points on the chain of lakes. LAKE NIPISSING AND THE FRENCH RIVER,- The unlimited attractions that are combined in the region known as the Lake Nipissing and French River District are fast becoming known to the sportsman. North Bay on the line of the Grand Trunk Railway System, the Temis- kaming and Northern Ontario Ry. and the C. P. R., 227 miles north of Toronto, is the starting point of this locality. The fishing in this district is without a peer in the Northern country. Maskalonge are from 15 to 30 pounds, black bass 120 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE running up to six pounds and pickerel tip the scales at 15 pounds. LAKES SIMCOE AND COUCHICHING—Maskalonge and small mouth black bass. Many of the streams running into these lakes offer capital speckled trout fishing. Canoes can be rented and fishing tackle of all kinds secured. Points for these fishing grounds are Barrie, Ont., and Orillia, Ont., on the Grand Trunk Railway System. Both good-sized towns with good hotel accommodation. Also Cambridge, on the Canadian Northern Ontario Ry. There are also several sorts of bass, including the green bass and the rock bass, in great abundance. For a few days in the spring the herring fishing affords capital sport; in the fall the salmon trout fishing is excellent along the Simcoe shore. THE MAGANETAWAN COUNTRY-Is a section but recently known to the sportsman. The Canadian Northern Ontario Ry. extends northward from Parry Sound to Sud- bury and Moose Mountain, crossing the Maganetawan River near Burton. The river itself is reached at Burk’s Falls, 171 miles north of Toronto, on the Grand Trunk Railway System. It is the very centre for sport for rod and gun. The angler will find an abundance of salmon trout, bass, pickerel and other varieties of fish. The speckled trout is found in abundance in these waters. The Maganetawan Country is distinctive, but the river of this name only flows westward across it. There are also the French River, the Shawanaga River, Gooseneck Lake, Deer Lake, Bolger Creek, the Still River, and Key Inlet—all of them samples of what an unconventional vacation ground may be. MATAPEDIA RIVER—The Matapedia River section owes its chief fame to the salmon fishing, which is found everywhere for at least forty miles along the course of the stream, to say nothing of the other rivers by which it is joined. One of these is the Causapscal, and some rare fish- ing is enjoyed at the forks. The Intercolonial Ry, follows the river from Lake Matapedia to its mouth, in Restigouche Harbor. The best fishing in this vicinity is from the middle of June to the middle of July. Trout may be caught with ease all through the season, not only in the rivers, but at such places as Amqui and Trout Lakes. The Matapedia trout are as large as some fish which pass for Salmon in other places. At Assametouaghan, at McKinnon Brook, and at Mill Stream, will be found particularly good fishing. OTTAWA RIVER—The Ottawa River, from its source at Lake Capemechigama, is 780 miles long, to its mouth at the lower end of the Island of Montreal. From Lake Eshwaham, from which one of its branches takes its origin, the river is over 800 miles to its mouth. This river and its tributary waters drain an area of no less than 60,180 square miles, of which 40,324 are in the Province of Quebec. The entire country north of the Ottawa is one of lakes. In a tract 60 miles broad and 250 miles long, stretching through the interior of the country, from Lake Temiskam- ing to Lake Spain, in Berthier County, are the following THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 121 amongst other great bodies of water: Lake Kipawa, Grand Lac, Lake Victoria and Lake Kekabonga. The Canadian Pacific Ry. follows the river for hundreds of miles. GASPE PENINSULA—In addition to the hunting and fishing grounds directly along the line of the Intercolonial Railway (see Matapedia River), there is splendid sport in the Gaspe Peninsula, reached from Matapedia Station by the Atlantic & Lake Superior Railway, running as far as New Carlisle; by team from Cross Point opposite Camp- bellton; and during the season of navigation, by steamer running from Campbellton, N. B., to various ports in Gaspe. The interior of the peninsula is unsettled, and much of it is a vast forest, where guides are an absolute neces- sity. The salmon rivers include such well-known ones as the Grand Cascapedia, Nouvelle, Pabos and others. Fine Sea trout are caught in the Barrachois and other rivers, and many good lakes in the interior furnish splendid sport. Moose and caribou are found in the forest. KAWAR.THA LARES-Take the Canadian Pacific Railway to Lindsay, Bobcaygeon or Peterboro, from which places a variety of trips may be arranged through Sturgeon Lake, Pigeon Lake, Buckhorn Lake, Deer Lake and Clear Lake, Stony Lake, and many other lakes with charming scenery and good fishing. The chain of lakes which com- prises this region lies north of Peterboro and Lindsay, and is composed of Iakes Katchewanooka, Clear, Stony, Buck- horn, Chemong, Pigeon, Bald, Sturgeon, Cameron and Bal- sam, with a magnificent steamer route of 70 miles from Lakefield to Coboconk. The Kawartha Lakes are also reached by the Grand Trunk Railway System at Lindsay, Lakeside, Coboconk, or Peterboro. Fishing includes excel- lent bass and maskalonge; and perch, carp and herring. Canoes, tents, camp beds, utensils, fishing tackle and other outfit for camping parties may be obtained at Lindsay, Peterboro, Lakefield, Fenelon Falls and Coboconk. THE GATINEAU RIVER DISTRICT –This district, reached by the Canadian Pacific Ry., is in Quebec, north of Ottawa, and the home of the Canadian gray trout. Mem- phremagog Lake, easily reached from Magog, on the Cana- dian Pacific Ry., has excellent lake trout fishing. Lake St. Charles, near Quebec City, is noted for its gray fork-tailed fish, which grow to an immense size in its clear, cold waters. Lake Megantic, reached from Megantic on the Canadian Pacific Ry., is equally famous for its big lake trout. " GEORGIAN BAY DISTRICT-For the devotees of rod and gun, the Georgian Bay district offers unlimited attrac- tions. Fish are plentiful in the bays and inlets throughout this vast expanse of water, and the rivers and streams which empty into the water teem with black bass, pickerel, mäska- longe, whitefish, speckled trout, lake trout and salmon trout. In addition to the attractions held out to the lover of rod and gun, the trip through the 30,000 Islands of the Georgian Bay is one of the most delightful and beautiful that may be taken in Canada, and is easily accessible from Colling- 122 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE wood, Midland or Penetang on the Grand Trunk Railway System. Other well-known places are Owen Sound (reached by the Canadian Pacific Ry.), and the districts north of Parry Sound, including the North Channel of the Georgian Bay. At Pointe au Baril (Parry Sound) are sal- mon trout, whitefish and black bass, and the fishing is all that can be desired, as it is at Byng Inlet and all through the French River as far as Lake Nipissing. In the North Channel the principal points for the fisherman are Killar- ney, and on Grand Manitoulin Island are Manitowaning, Little Current, Kagawong and Gore Bay, where salmon trout, whitefish, black bass, maskalonge, pickerel and speck- led trout can be found to cheer the most enthusiastic fish- erman. These places have no railroad but may be reached via the Canadian Pacific Ry. RIDEAU RIVER AND LAKES-Kingston is the starting point for this district, if the journey is to be all the way by boat, and here the steamers of the Rideau Lakes Navigation Co., Ltd., are taken for the trip through these waters. Although there are several places where tourists can find accommodation, Jones' Falls, Chaffey’s Locks and Westport are the principal resorts. The route is through some of the finest fishing grounds. Bass and pickerel are plentiful and maskalonge of from 20 to 40 pounds weight abound. The whole district is a paradise of anglers. Black bass were caught recently near the falls weighing 5% pounds, and pickerel 7 pounds, white Oswego, or green bass, tipped the scales at 8%, and pike at 18 pounds. In the lakes are caught the spotted, strawberry, calico bass or crop- pie; salmon trout and other game fish generally, ALGONQUIN NATIONAL PARK OF ONTARIO- The waters of the 1,200 lakes in this territory which cover thousands of acres of country, are deep and translucent, filled with the gamiest species of fish—black bass, three and four pounds, salmon trout, ten to twelve pounds, and speck- led trout in the tributaries flowing into the lakes. In May and June trout fishing is at its best. In the mid-summer successful still-fishing in these cool waters is assured. Months of July and August fishing here is good. Best fishing months are May, August, September and October. Bait is plentiful and can be procured readily in almost all of the lakes with a dip net or small hooks. Joe Lake Sta- tion, on the Grand Trunk Railway System, is the best point to enter the Park. - MUSKOKA LAKES are situated in the midst of the “Highlands of Ontario,” embracing in the general term the hundreds of lakes in the Muskoka District. It is a little over one hundred miles from Toronto. The lakes may be reached by the Canadian Pacific Ry., the Grand Trunk Ry. and the Canadian Northern Ontario Ry. The district, to which the general term of “The Highlands of Ontario” has been popularly applied, is one of many hundred square miles in extent. It lies on the eastern shore of the Georgian Bay between the middle tier of counties of Simcoe, York THE ANGLER'S GUIDE - 123 and Victoria on the south and the District of Parry Sound on the north. From Muskoka Wharf, at the southern end of Lake Muskoka, to Port Carling, the junction of Lakes Muskoka and Rosseau, the distance is 21 miles; from the Same starting point to Rosseau, at the head of the lake of this name, it is 33 miles, while the farthest point on the three lakes, Port Cochburn at the head of Lake Joseph, is 45 miles from Muskoka Wharf. The width of the lakes varies from channels a few hundred yards across to open stretches of water about six miles wide. The lakes are fed by several rivers and streams, chief among them being the Muskoka River, entering Muskoka Lake about midway be- tween Muskoka Wharf and Beaumaris, on the eastern shore of the lake, and the route of the Muskoka Navigation Co.'s steamers to Bracebridge, 16 miles north from Gravenhurst. The Dee River connecting Three Mile Lake with Lake Iłosseau, near Wnidermere, Skeleton River from Skeleton Lake to Lake Rosseau, and Rosseau River, with the pretty Rosseau Falls, all feed this, the second largest of the three lakes, on its eastern boundary, with Shadow River at the head of the lake. The Moon and Muskosh Rivers are the outlet of the lakes from Muskoka Lake at Bala, which flow into the Georgian Bay to the west. Two or three miles from Bala down the Moon River is found good maskalonge fishing. A number of lakes in the vicinity of Torrance provide very good sport, including Black Lake, Nine-Mile Lake, Echo Lake, Clear Lake, all within a distance of about three miles. Near Beaumaris, Leonard Lake and Brandy Lake both contain fine black bass which run as high as three pounds. Among the fishing grounds of note in the Muskoka Lakes are Sucker Lake and Watson Lake where good bass and salmon trout fishing is reported. These lakes are near Rosseau. Morgan’s Bay and Bass Lake are also good fishing grounds. In Lake Joseph itself good salmon trout fishing can be got by deep troll- ing between Hamil’s Point and Port Sandfield. For the enthusiastic angler, who is desirous of leaving the beaten path of the well-known districts for the unbroken forest and the blazed trail, there is that ideal district reached from Blackstone Lake on the Canadian Northern Ontario Ry. Near Barnesdale, on Lake Joseph, is excellent fishing in Kah-Pee-Gog and Six-Mile Lakes; also in close proximity to Gordon Bay, on Lake Joseph, in addition to Blackstone and Crane Lakes, are Portage Lake, Clear Lake, Silver Lake, Long Lake and several others. These lakes are easily ac- cessible by wagon road, or can be reached by a series of short portages. Bass, pickerel and salmon trout are num- erous. Within a radius of nine miles from Rosseau are Black, Turtle, Star, Hicks, Whitefish, Trout and Clear Lakes, which are all recommended for good fishing. Large catches, more or less of a certainty, are as follows: Lakes Rosseau and Joseph—Bass, pickerel and salmon trout. Port Sandfield—Bass, pickerel and salmon trout. Port Cockburn—(Head of Lake Joseph) bass, salmon trout and 124 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE pickerel. Blackstone Lake—(Near Port Cockburn) maska- longe and bass. Rosseau—(Head of Lake Rosseau) bass, pickerel, speckled and salmon trout. Burk's Falls—Bass, salmon and perch. Maganetawan River—Brook trout, black bass and pickerel. NOVA SCOTIA. “The Land of Evangeline”—Longfellow, through his heart- touching story of “Evangeline,” has done much to enhance Nova Scotia’s fame as a theater of history and tradition; but its natural attractions are all its own, and there is not a square mile of the entire peninsula in which the tourist or rest-seeker will not find something to interest him. Nova Scotia has long been known to those who have a rare in- stinct for the delightful. It is wonderfully picturesque. It is a most remarkable country for ir:-shore salt water fishing; for beaches as safe and spacious as they are numer- ous; for boating in tidal waters that are like upland lakes; for sport with rod and line in two-score generous streams; for pursuit of moose and bear in the primeval woods; for the observing of social forms that are neither of the Old World nor of the New. For, indeed, Nova Scotia is opulent in re- pose, in beauty, in history, in tragedy, and in magnificence of hope—hope sometimes deferred, always justified. Nova Scotia’s eighteen counties provide something good in each in the way of either hunting or angling. The best fishing is in May and June, although there is fair trout fishing in September. August is the poorest month of the year. Early in May is the best time for salmon fishing, and sea trout take the lure well in June and July. A list of the fishing waters of this Province will be found under Fresh Water and Salt Water Fishing Resorts. All points of in- terest for the angler are reached by the Dominion Atlantic Ry. or the Halifax & South Western Ry. in the western end of the Province and the Intercolonial Ry, north and east- ward from Halifax into Cape Breton, connecting at North Sydney with the Reid Newfoundland Co.'s line for New- foundland. The Intercolonial Ry. connects at Pictou for Prince Edward Island. Trout fishing is excellent on Prince Edward Island and may be had in many streams, the best of which are the Morell, Dunk, Pierre, Jacques, Miminigash, Kildare, Tignish, Percival, Enmore and Hunter Rivers. There is also very good fishing at North Lake and other places in the vicinity of East Point. The close season for fishing is from October 1st to March 31st inclusive. Within easy reach of Halifax are a number of rivers and lakes which provide as good sport as can be found in the Maritime Provinces, some of the rivers also containing sal- mon. North from the head of Musquodoboit Harbor, and extending towards the east and west is a splendid country, THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 125 full of game, and in which are numerous lakes well stocked with large trout. To the west of Halifax, Indian River and Ingram River are favorites. Information has been compiled by the People's Game and Fish Protective Association of Nova Scotia, which will be supplied to those interested. F. W. Russell is secretary, at Dartmouth. The Nova Scotia Guides’ Association will supply guides, outfits, etc. Information freely given upon request to Roy S. Kelley, the secretary, at Yarmouth, N. S. NEW FOUNDLAND. Rainbow Trout caught near St. John's, Newfoundland. American anglers who have visited Newfoundland are unanimous in the expression of their delight with this country. It is universally conceded, that the fishing is among the very best in America. Salmon and sea trout are numerous in nearly all the rivers. The game fishes of New- foundland and Labrador consist entirely of Salmonidae; there are no pike, or perch, or other predatory fish, except eels in the inland waters. The main thing that appeals to American anglers, is, that there is no preserved waters; neither is there any rod-tax, license or any fee whatever demanded. The climate in summer is glorious. The fish- ing is free and unrestricted to all comers alike. This would be a drawback, if the streams were limited in num- ber; as a matter of fact there are dozens of well-known streams famous for the fishing they yield, while there are hundreds of others equally as good, that are not fished at 126 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE all. An angler going from New York or any other Amer- ican city, can get a through ticket to any point on the Island, via North Sydney, C. B., and Port Aux Basques, Newfoundland. Port Aux Basques is the extreme south- west point of the Island and is the port of entry. Once at Port Aux Basques, the angler may travel northwest or south as he deems best. It is better to have a definite point to make for, and, if possible, to have guides all ready. In order to do this the country may be divided into four divisions. On the West Coast from Port Aux Basques to Grand Pond, some of the best rivers in the Island are situated. Here are the famous Codroys, Main Brook, Harry’s River, the Humber and other good streams. The rivers are among the best in America. The Humber has always been famous, but four years ago when Gen. Dash- wood was reported to have landed 300 salmon for his own rod, its possibilities became generally known. On the South Coast there are rivers at Burgeo, Bay D'Espoir, Rose Blanche, La Poile, Conteau, Facheaux, etc. In the North are the Gander, Terra Nova, Indian Brook and other good StreamS. On the East Coast there are Placentia, Salmonier, and other rivers. At Placentia, sea trout and grilse are very plentiful. Details are to be found under “Newfoundland” in the Fresh-Water Fishing Resorts. The Government of Newfoundland having leased to the Anglo-Newfoundland Development Co. certain land and water areas situated in the districts adjoining Red Indian and Victoria Lakes, tourists and sportsmen, before enter- ing upon the lands of the Anglo-Newfoundland Develop- ment Co.—whose lands extend along the line of railway from Grand Falls to Gaff Topsails (Summit), inclusive—must first take out a permit, which can be obtained by applying to the company’s headquarters at Grand Falls. It is also required by the terms of the contract arranged with the Government, that “Every tourist or party of tourists shall be required to employ one at least of guides or fish wardens employed by the Anglo-Newfoundland Development Co., as guide at the usual fees when entering on the lands of the said company.” THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 127 ANGLING. “Doubt not but that Angling is an art! . . . . . and an art worth your learning: the question is rather, whether you be capable of learning it? For Angling is somewhat like poetry, men are to be born so: I mean with inclinations to it, though both may be heightened by discourse and prac- tice; but he that hopes to be a good Angler must not only bring an inquiring, searching, observing wit, but he must bring a large measure of hope and patience, and a love and propensity to the art itself; but having once got and prac- ticed it, then doubt not but Angling will prove to be so pleasant, that it will prove to be like virtue, a reward to itself.” “Now for the Art of Catching Fish, that is to say, how to make a man that was none to be an Angler by a hook.” —Izaak Walton. The subject of angling is one that demands enthusiastic and attentive study, and one where individual preference and per- sonal experience will play an all-important part in the selec- tion of an outfit. One thing is not debatable, and that is, that good tackle is an absolute nec- essity. It is not our intention to give extensive details but rather to offer suggestions com- piled from the best authorities, which will afford assistance in the choice of tackle and equipment. Authorities and reference books should be consulted by the angler who de- sires thoroughly to familiarize himself with the various kinds of fishing. Angling may be divided for practical purposes, into the following classes: Fly-fishing (including “dry” fly-casting), bait and lure casting, still fishing and trolling. Unforeseen accidents will happen, so take spare lines, reels, etc., with you. Essential outfits should include the following: Fly-fishing for trout : Rod—8 to 10 ft. in length, split bamboo, lancewood or greenheart; weight 4% to 7 and 7% oz. Reel—Optional; small, light-weight reel is preferred. Line—25 to 40 yds. of light, enameled braided silk line, double tapered. Leaders—Very light, single-gut leaders, 6 to 8 ft. long. Select best quality. Flies—Variety depends upon waters to be fished. Nos. 4, 6 and 8 are best for lake fishing, and Nos. 10, 12 and 14 for brook fishing. Well-known flies are the Scarlet Ibis, Par- machenee Belle, Brown Palmer, Brown Hackle, Grey Pal- mer, Abbey, Professor, Governor, Brown Ant, Cowdung, Bee, Black Gnat, Coachman, Cinnamon, Imbrie, Grizzly 128 - THE ANGLER'S GUIDE King, Shoemaker, Dark Montreal, Dark Coachman, Willow, Golden Spinner, Captain, Yellow May, Black Palmer, Rube Wood, March Brown, Beauty, Blue Professor, White Miller, Royal Coachman, Lowery. i Large assortments of flies are kept in stock by Abbey & Imbrie, of New York, and others. Usual cost is 50 cents and $1 per dozen. - The best plan, in slow-moving waters, is to fish up stream; in Swift-running ones, down stream. Approximate weight of trout—8 inch trout will weigh about 4 oz.; 9 in., 5 oz. ; 10 in., 7 oz. ; II in., 9 oz. ; I2 in., 14 oz. ; 13 in., I lb.; 14 in., 1% lbs. ; 15 in., 1% lbs. ; 16 in., 1% lbs. ; 17 in., 2% lbs. ; 18 in., 2% lbs.; 19 in., 3 lbs.; 20 in., 3% lbs. ; 21 in., 4 lbs. ; 22 in., 4% lbs.; 23 in., 5% lbs. A good tackle box and reliable fly-book are absolute nec- essities. Various kinds are sold by the well-known dealers. Bait-fishing for trout : Rod—Lancewood, 4% to 6 ft. long. A steel rod is ex- cellent, especially the standard rod, the “Bristol,” made by the Horton Mfg. Co., Bristol, Conn. Reel and line—Same as used in fly fishing for trout. Hooks—Single snelled; use Aberdeen, Kirby, Sneck, Sproat, Carlisle, etc. Use three or four split shot for sink- ers fastened to the gut in deep water; in shallow water the worm should float along surface, otherwise hook will become Snagged. Leaders—Medium weight, single gut, not too long. Artificial bait is made in great variety. Angle worms are the best bait, according to popular claim, for brook trout fishing, looped several times through the middle of the hook with end of worm left to wiggle about in water. Small minnows are good bait. Ilanding net, bait box or insect box, and line releaser are accessories. Fly-casting for bass : Use same rods, reels, lines, flies and leaders as for trout. No. 2 or No. 4 flies are the most used, but larger ones may be used if local fishing warrants it. The stomachs of fish caught should be examined and the contents should give suggestions for choosing flies or baits. The most successful bass flies are the following: Alexan- dria, Babcock, Belgrade, Benny, Blue Bottle, Brown Hackle (yellow body), Brown Palmer, Cinnamon, Coachman, Fer- guson, Grizzly King, Guinea King, Jungle Cock, Lord Balti- more, Montreal, Oriole, Orange and Black, Polka, Parma- chenee Belle, Red Ibis, Royal Coachman, Seth Green, Sil- ver Doctor, White Miller, Yellow Coachman, Yellow Sally. Bait-casting for bass : Rod—Lancewood or steel rod referred to in bait-casting for trout. Reel—Quadruple multiplying reel. Line—Hard braided silk line, Nos, 4, 5 or 6, from 50 to 75 ft, long, THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 129 Hooks—Nos. 3/0, 2/0, 1/0 and I, Snelled on double gut. The Aberdeen, O'Shaughnessy, Sneck, Sproat, Kirby, Pen- nell, Carlisle and Cincinnati Bass are the patterns most used. Best live baits are small minnows, earth-worms, crawfish, grubs, grasshoppers, leeches. A good assortment of arti- ficial baits for bass should include soft rubber frog, helga- mite, grasshopper, angle-worm and minnow. Preserved bait is also used. Artificial minnows come in many colors and styles. The “Dowagiac” is one of the best-known brands. Hook live minnows carefully through mouth and bring point through its gills. (Read story by Robt. H. Davis, “How to Take Black Bass with the Floating Bait,” elsewhere in this book.) Approximate weight of bass: 9 in. bass will weigh about 1 lb.; 10 in., 1 lb. 2 oz. ; 11 in., I lb. 6 oz. ; 12 in., 2 lbs. ; 14 in., 3 lbs. ; 15 in., 4 lbs. Fly-fishing for salmon : Rod—14 ft. is best length; best split bamboo. Reel—Should be 4% ins. in diameter, with graduating drag. (Special drags may be bought that can be fitted to any reel.) . Line—100 to 150 yards of braided enameled silk line, double-tapered. Leader—The fly is fastened to end of 6 ft. single gut, heavy salmon leader, or else in turn is looped to a 3 ft. or 6 ft. double leader which is attached to the line. Hooks—Nos. 3 and 4 are the favorite sizes; No. 2 is the largest used; O'Shaughnessy, Limerick or Sproat. Flies—Gaudy, bright-colored flies are the best. A great variety is not needed. The best flies are of Scotch make. The popular patterns are as follows: Black Dose, Butcher, Durham Ranger, Dusty Miller, Fairy, Fiery Brown, Jock Scott, Silver Doctor, Silver Grey, Thunder and Lightning, President. - A good gaff is a necessity. Trolling for maskalonge, large pike and pickerel : Line—No. 1 braided line, 100 to 150 ft. in length. Leaders—Twisted leader, 3 ft. long, fastened to the line with a swivel, and to this a No. 6 or No. 7 spoon (oval or kidney shape, nickel-finish) should be looped with another. Use ringed sinkers. Or else use woven gut, 4-ply, or a wire leader for maskalonge and pike. - Hooks—No. 2 double hooks or hook-gangs. Trolling for bottom fish : Line—Heavy line, 100 to 150 ft. long, is used. Pear- shaped sinker weighing about 2% oz. About four feet above sinker is attached a 6 ft. leader. At end of leader fasten No. 1 snell hook, baited with minnow or bait used in local waters. Swivels should be used to attach hooks to lines when trolling. The Metal Line Mfg. Co., New York, manufactures a braided metal trolling line which serves the purpose very well without use of sinkers, 130 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE Dry fly-fishing : Rod—10 ft. long, 6 to 8 oz. in weight. Reel—Small, light-weight reel. Line—Tapered and very fine. g Leaders—Use best quality; light leader, about 9 ft. long. Flies—English floating flies on eyed hooks. No. 12 and No. 14 are recommended; sometimes a No. 8 or No. 10. The Queen of Waters, Black Gnat, White Miller, Cahill, Yellow May, Willow, Gray Drake, Stone, March Brown, Beaverkill, Whirling Dun and Evening Dun, are good for dry fly an- gling. Wm. Mills & Son list the following dry flies: Apple Green, Black Beetle, Black Gnat, Blue Quill, Blue Wing Olive, Brown Sedge, Detached Badger, Detached Iron Blue, Detached Olive, Detached Red Spinner, Flight's Fancy, Greenwell’s Glory, Grannom, Hare's Ear, Iron Blue Dun, Little Marryatt, Little Chap, Medium Olive, Olive Quill, Red Ant, Red Quill, Red Spinner, Shrimp, Silver Sedge, White Moth, White Beetle, Whitchurch Dun, Whirling Dun, Whirling Blue Dun, Wickhams. For floating the flies, “Natare” dry-fly oil or paraffine is used. For dressing the line use deer fat. Dry fly-fishing is for the expert angler only and is adapted only for still waters and pools. For sea-bass : Use strong line, with Snelled hooks; and sinkers weighing from 6 to 10 oz. Best baits are shedder crabs, crawfish or hard clams. Hooks: Limerick, O'Shaughnessy or Kirby or No. 4 Virginia, No. 5/0 Sproat. For sea-trout : Rod—Usual trout or bass fly-rod, about 10 ft. long, weighing about 7 or 8 oz. Also same line and reel as for trout or bass, with strong leader. - Flies—Bright-colored flies like the Scarlet Ibis, Parma- chenee Belle, etc., are best, on No. 4 or No. 6 hooks. For tarpon-fishing : - Rod—6% or 7 ft. long; special tarpon and tuna rods. Weight, about 26 oz. Best split bamboo, greenheart or Abbey & Imbrie’s noib-wood rods. Reel—Strong, double-multiplying reels made for this pur- pose, with leather thumb-brake or drag; heavy steel click. Use of “Rabbeth” automatic handle drag is recommended. Line—600 ft. of No. 21 or No. 24 “Cuttyhunk” line. Hooks—No. 10 “Van Vleck” tarpon hook, on piano wire or phosphor-bronze wire, with bronze barrel swivel attached. Special tarpon gaffs are necessary. They come in vari- ous styles. Care should be taken that the rod is never put away when wet; the same caution should be observed with the lines, tackle and reel, Various styles of line dryers are made. The “Nichols,” sold by Abbey & Imbrie, is a very practical and compact article, and costs from 85c, to $1.50. Other THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 131 useful additions to one's equipment may include a pocket net, clearing rings (for clearing hooks when caught under water), line releaser (for releasing line when hook becomes caught in overhead branches, etc.); “disgorgers” for remov- ing hook from the fish; scales, etc. Smith Bros., Boston, sell a pocket take-down landing net which may be reduced to 6 ins, in diameter and coiled up, with net on, to fit the pocket. It costs $2. Oil is another necessity. “Three-in- One” oil is well adapted for all purposes. The Dunn Spe- cialty Co., Chicago, sells a good oiler (pocket size). Abbey & Imbrie sell the “Never Leak” one-drop oiler at 10 cts. French willow creels remain the standard article, although there are anglers who prefer folding canvas creels and other new styles. The creel should be well washed daily and an important rule is never to allow fish to remain in the creel for a long period, nor over night if it can be prevented. To keep fish fresh, line the creel with ferns or coarse moss which may be moistened but not too much. Never let dead fish remain in water. TABLE OF COMPARATIVE HOOK SIZES.

Do not ruffle the fly, by passing it through the loop of its own snell. The tension on the leader will maintain the fly se- curely in position; yet flies may be instantly changed when desired. § Salt-Water Fishing Chart SHOWING TEIE MOST POPULAR FISH AND FISHING IN SALT WATER-COMPILED BY LOUIS RHEAD SPECIES E[ABITAT RIG TIME OF DAY BAIT SEASON REMARES In bays, Regulation Flood tide g sº Tarpon surface of tarpon according to Mullet April to High Jumper, shallow water tackle run of bait October strong fighter Off shore in Same as Early † April to Terrific fighter Tuna deep water tarpon morning Flying fish July and leaper Surf, near Sºlº, High and low Eel, shrimp, April to Nov.

The Selection of Equipment, Manner of Casting, and Proper Manage- * ment of the Line, Reel and Bait. By Ron ERT H. DAVIS. It is an angler's first duty to study carefully his fishing- ground. Perfection in tackle, of course, is a material and important thing, but it is not half so necessary as some- thing to bite at it. A dirty kid, with a willow-pole and a bent pin, is an element to be reckoned with, but tackle for tackle's sake, is of little consequence unless it collects its trophies. Of late years, fishing, like all other pastimes, has fallen under the ban of form, and a great many very excellent manipulators of the rod pay more attention to paraphernalia than to the pleasures which grow out of its uses. One may as well climb into a hunting-suit, select a good, well-bal- anced hammerless shotgun, and, accompanied by a setter or pointer, spend the afternoon at the Union League Club. Let us do one thing at a time. Let us make the best of average water and of average skill. It is not within the grasp of every man, devoted to brooks and lakes, to perfect himself in the so-called “art of fishing,” or to acquire all of the best tackle that is now upon the market. Given a proper love for nature, reasonable patience, and a keen sense of appreciation for results, and there is little else to be considered. With these three qualifications, any man, who wants to fish, need not go to a sportsmen’s show to learn how, although these annual aggregations have their advantages. - In an article in Field and Stream, entitled “Taking Black Bass with Floating Bait,” the writer awakened a good many sleeping dogs, most of whom wanted to know how to do it, what I meant by floating bait, what sort of rod gave the best results, how long it took to learn casting, and what proficiency meant. These are all important things. They are questions asked by pure lovers of the sport, and I con- sider it my duty to answer them as fully as possible in their minutest particular. And, if any angler, whose eyes fall upon these lines and the pictures which accompany them, gathers any knowledge that subsequently adds to the joy of living, I shall be sufficiently repaid. & I should like to make it clear in the beginning, however, that, in this instance, I am dealing only with the floating dead bait—otherwise, surface bait, the purely mechanical product, made by numberless fishing tackle manufacturers, varied in design, composition, and characteristics. Many fishermen make their own. I have seen several of this sort that are very effective. I propose, in this article, to avoid minnow, frog, and fly- casting of all sorts. So, if any angler, under the exhilara- THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 137 tion of his affection for this latter trio of amusements, de- sires to drag me into a controversy, I herewith concede cards and spades, and Big and Little Casino—which ought to settle the argument in advance. I am aiming only to shed light, light among the vast army of anglers who have heard about the floating bait, but do not realize its scope, or else have not used it. For the sake of making a personally conducted experi- ment, let us get the tackle. Any rod, from five and a half to six and a half feet over all in length and weighing any- where around four or five ounces is the first step. It should have an elastic, though sturdy, tip, with quick recovery. We are all cranks about guides. I have seen much ef- fective casting done with a plain twisted wire guide, run- ning from three-fourths of an inch in diameter on the first section, down to one-quarter of an inch on the last, the line passing finally through an agate tip, angle or ring. But these, of course, are mere details with which one be- comes infected and infatuated when the larger pleasure of merely catching fish has passed. Heaven forbid that such a fate should overtake me ! What we want now is a wide spindle and a free-running reel, carrying from fifty to seventy-five yards of good, soft, silk line—a line wholly without enamel, a line with a purely natural texture. And, when you are through fishing, dry it. And keep it dry, when it is not in actual use. Otherwise, it will lose its free-running quality and deteriorate in every Way. While we are on the subject of lines, I would like to say that I have observed that, in certain hard waters, doubtless supercharged with alkaline deposits, a frequently used silk line acquires the characteristics of a rosined string and slips under the thumb reluctantly. Doubtless this hesitation is communicated to the guides and diminishes the length and accuracy of the cast. Not infrequently, after locating Fig. 1.-Straightaway Cast. How to hold the rod for the straight-ahead cast. Note the position of the thumb and its control of the spindle. 138 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE a soft-water mountain spring, I have washed my line in it and eliminated this objectionable astringent peculiarity. Now let us select a floating bait. It may be wood, or hollow metal, or cork, or some composition possessing buoy- ancy. They are rigged with from one to five gangs of triple hooks. It is my impression, however, that anything over two gangs is quite unnecessary, and only complicates the situation. Hooks located near the center or belly of whatever bait you prefer to use seem to be most effective in taking fish, especially so in clear water, due primarily to the fact that the bass, rising from the pool to strike the bait, usually hits it from underneath, instead of following on and taking it in by the tail. Tail hooks, in cloudy water, are perhaps more effective, but most of these victories are due to confusion or inaccuracy on the part of the fish. These floating baits may be of varied colors. We are a changeable lot, and it is not inconsistent that, with so many colors at hand, any angler, with an imagination, should seek to indulge the luxury of chromatic emotions to his heart’s content. Personally, I have found that white, with a touch of red, or white, with a touch of blue, accomplishes rather gratifying results. But I have seen so many remarkable things done with natural wood and natural metal that I am prepared to make a low bow in that direction. Now we are equipped—rod, reel, line, and bait. We can get along without leaders and without sinkers, and even without swivels, provided the bait is so weighted as to as- Sume and maintain a stationary upright-keel position. A floating bait, that of itself revolves, should be discarded, because, no matter how well swiveled it may be, it is bound ultimately to twist the line, and a twisted line is the hard- est thing in the world to cast effectively. Spinners and flanges, operating around the body, but not disturbing its even keel, are desirable—especially in cloudy water, because they serve to attract the fish and give the caster an opportunity to impart a variety of motions to the lure while in transit. Now we come to the pictures. They were taken under ordinary conditions and show a true caster getting the most out of his opportunities. Illustration I shows the position preliminary to making a straightaway cast. The reel should be turned inward, with the thumb resting lightly under the central pillar, which brings the spindle into a horizontal position. Hold the upper arm close to the body, draw the forearm back toward the head and make the cast directly forward, keeping the eye on the precise spot where you wish the bait to land. Keep always in mind that the fundamental law of bait- casting is epitomized in the old trick of throwing an apple from a pointed stick, a pastime quite common to our boy- hood. The bait occupies to the pole the same relation as the apple to the stick, and, once started in a given direction with velocity and trajectory, will approach with unerring precision the particular spot you desire to place it. THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 139 Fig. 2.-As the Line Runs Out. Position of the hand and arm at the conclusion of the straight- ahead cast. The bait must, at all times, while in motion, take the line from the spindle with an even tension, as the whole secret of bait-casting is to prevent the line backlashing without diminishing your control of the distance and the accuracy. In this particular, the thumb plays a most important part, actually controlling the entire performance, and very quick- ly becomes an automatic factor in giving the spindle free- dom, in arresting the speed of the spindle or giving it full play, as the case may be. Illustration 2 shows the arm at full length, with the spin- dle perpendicular, and the line running off smoothly. Ob- serve the position of the thumb under the central pillar, caressing, as it were, the racing silk, while the caster's eye is still fixed beside some distant lilypad where the lure must fall. It is important that the eye and the thumb should work in unison, because accuracy is possible only through this har- mony. Practice, and nothing else, will bring it about. The movement of the wrist and the arm is, of course, of primary significance, but bait-casting is peculiar in that the projec- tile is or should always be under the control of the caster. Unlike a bullet, which passes beyond control the moment it is liberated, a bait can be directed, in a measure, up to the very moment it falls into the water, and the whole route of its flight mapped out before it is cast from the tip of the pole. Therein lies the fascination of bait-casting, the fas- cination that develops accuracy and art, not only in the boundless pleasure one feels in a clean-cut cast, but that indescribable satisfaction in putting it in the right spot and seeing the water boil and the flash of a tail gleaming in the foam. But there is no occasion to be alarmed about form. Conceding that there is a right and a wrong way to do everything, the American, resourceful in his expedients, achieves the end one way or the other, notwithstanding. And so I say without hesitation that the principal thing is to get the bait out, and get it out often. 140 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE A great many bait-casters strive for distance. It has been the writer's experience that a cast, anywhere between fifty and seventy-five feet, in water where the pads are not too thick, is sufficient. I have taken many fish within ten feet of the boat, and I should say that the average strike, under normal circumstances, is made at a distance of forty or forty-five feet from the position occupied by the caster. The advantage of getting a strike on a short line is that you can strike quicker as the fish has less time to disgorge. After he has got what he is looking for, let him have all the line he wants, let him go as far as he likes, keeping always upon his ravenous lip a gentle, but firm reminder that you are a permanent institution. Overhand casting, while deplored by the elect, is justifi- able in every sense of the word, comes much easier, and is a more natural movement than the straight forearm cast. It requires less patience and results in less backlashing. The old chaps prefer it, because the bait, once started with a long sweep of the arm, snatches a great volume of line from the reel-spindle and gets the bait out on the water— somewhere. Illustration 3 shows the proper position for the hand and the reel at the conclusion of the overhand cast. As a mat- ter of general information, the reel handle, in completing the overhand and forearm cast, should always be on top and the shaft perpendicular. But keep your eye on the spot where you want the bait to fall, and your trained thumb and arm will take care of the incidental details of Fig. 3.-Position at the End of Cast. Position of the back of the hand in bait-casting. The forefinger serves to steady the rod. Keep the reel handle always on top. THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 141 the flight of the bait through the air, no matter how swiftly they may accumulate. Illustration 4 shows the relative size of one of the popu- lar casting baits as compared with the human hand. This bait contains two gangs, one tail and one belly, weighs about an ounce, and is four and a half inches in length and about three-quarters of an inch at its widest diameter. No bass can possibly absorb this entire device, but in seven strikes out of ten the belly hook will land and hold the gamiest kind of a small-mouth until he is ready for the net. Don’t overdo the hook business. It is not sportsmanlike. Now that we have occupied so much time explaining the system of getting the bait out, let us see how to get it in. That brings us to the matter of reeling. Have the kindness, gentle reader, to take note of the fact that every fisher- man is entitled to his theories and his practices, and that, under all circumstances, we must have respect for his opin- ions. What may appeal to his style and technique may be scoffed at and derided elsewhere and generally disregarded. Therefore, these suggestions represent the humble observa- tions of a single individual and can be amended to suit. Let us assume that the bait has struck the water, that you have thumbed the reel properly and stopped it, so that there is little or no slack. Shift the rod from the right to the left hand. With a few rapid movements of the crank, take up all of the slack line between the tip of the rod and the bait, until the bait itself is under your control, keeping as much of the line as possible out of the water. This will enable you to strike your fish with more facility, when he bites, and gives you better control of the rod when working in lily pads and various grasses. The best movement to give the bait is a regular one, as each revolution of the reel- spindle communicates to it a suggestion of life. Under cer- tain conditions, when a fish strikes and fails to hook, or dis- gorges with intelligent second thought, an accelerated mo- tion may entice him again. On the other hand, to retard the bait, or even let it bob around in the center of the commo- tion made by the first strike, will be found effective. In many instances I have seen bass, but more particularly pickerel, hit an inert bait as it lay floating on the pool, while the angling party was occupied industriously cursing a back-lash in an effort to untie 300,000 Gordian knots in a line fifty yards long. Under these conditions some fishermen forget that life, at best, is full of sorrows, and that every pathway hath its thorns. And so they go com- pletely to pieces. Here let us draw the veil. In running water, either ripples or strong current, a skipping movement can be given the floating bait merely through the reel movement, the current assisting in bringing about the proper activity. In flat, marshy lakes, where afternoon winds prevail, many fish can be taken anywhere from fifty to one hundred feet out in the miniature break- ers when the lure dances in the breeze. Any breeze blowing in the direction you elect to cast will increase your distance 142 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE Fig. 4.—Relative Size of Bait and Hand. Sixty-three black bass were taken with this bait in one day, and all returned to the water. Only the belly hooks were used. tremendously, and, for this reason it is rather pleasant to cast under these conditions—especially when the fish are taking hold. There are times when a good wind will de- ceive you as to your proficiency and mislead you into the belief that you are the greatest one-handed caster in the United Republic, because it takes the bait away like an arrow and the silk hums beneath your thumb until it seems as though you were unspooling the Atlantic cable, and that you can cast, at least, a mile. Do not be deceived. Condi- tions are quite different in windless weather when the bait, unaided, has to do all the work. I consider it a brotherly thing to caution the beginner not to try any fancy casts in waters filled with fallen trees. It is such an easy thing to jump a bait over snags and weave it in and out between grasses and various other ob- structions—stunts that in an excess of zeal one is inclined to do for the mere pleasure of the performance; but when a bass decides to take your bait under such conditions, there is no possible way to avoid confusion. And what fish in the world knows more about starting for the tall timbers than Mr. Small-Mouth Bass? It is perfectly useless to argue the matter. He hits your lure, and the next moment your tackle and your temper are tied in a knot, and the bass invariably gets away. Not infrequently is it necessary to break your line in order to get any part of it back. When one considers that the bait is generally left in your vic- tim’s mouth, a bait too large to swallow and so constructed that slow death is unavoidable, it seems needless cruelty. In recovering your bait via the reel, learn, above all things, to spool your silk evenly. The thumb and forefinger of the left hand will serve to accomplish this, the line run- ing lightly through them or else under the thumb alone. A little practice will make this perfectly clear. Perfect yourself in this particular, so that, when reeling, you can keep your eye on the bait, while the left hand is spooling THE ANGLER'S GUIDE 143 regularly and smoothly. Then, when you get a strike, you can concentrate your mind on hitting your bass at the right time, in being fair about the tackle, and in taking him ab- solutely in charge. - It is here that I leave you to work out your own destiny, to achieve your salvation as an angler, and to bestow upon your brothers all the knowledge you have gained through experience or through friends, keeping always in mind that there is much pleasure in the preparation and the attempt, and that it is only fair for us to have as much respect for the bass that has escaped, as admiration for the vanquished tiger of the pool that has come to our net. 144 THE ANGLER'S GUIDE SUMMARIES OF THE FISH AND GAME LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES.

We want you to be the sole, JUDGE of its merits, after you have compared and tested it with any other reel AT ANY PRICE on the market, Get your dealer to show you a “Takapart” reel. Look at the rigid tubular frame, drawn from one solid piece of brass tubing. Note the construction of the axle, spool, spindle and pinion. Then take the reel apart. Dissect it without tools of any sort by simply un- screwing the ring at either end. Give every part of the reel your most critical scrutiny. Now spin the spool and test its running qualities. While you are examining and testing it, keep our iron-clad guarantee in mind, namely, that you must be perfectly satisfied with the quality of work- manship and material and that the reel must be perfect in every respect or YOUR MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED WITHOUT A MURMUR.

Where All Others Fail There will come a time when you will have tried every bait in your box in good bass waters and yet cannot get a strike. That is the time when we would like you to try one of our baits, for it will get them, and then you will 1know that our baits are absolutely the surest killers made. HarfungBāSSBăiţSCatch fish is the verdict of every bass fisherman who has tried theni. The well-known angler, H. S. Smith, says in a recent article that, after every other bait had failed, “at about that time I found a heretofore untried bait in my box, and attaching it to my line I cast it about five yards to one side of the two pike. Then, as I reeled in, brought it in front of them, the large one reaching it first and nooking himself. On the next strike the other was secured. As there were no more in sight I thought the sport was over, but cast far out and was rewarded in securing a three-pound bass. I did not leave that spot until I landed three more bass. Since that day I have used the same bait—the Hartung bass bait-one little known among fishermen.” And that's what they all say ! Why don’t you try it? Write for free circular.
