GRASS BASS ROACH 115 



my coat pocket for over four hours, and when 

 placed in a bucket of water soon revived, and 

 seems at the present time to enjoy excellent 

 health. In warm weather, however, it would not, 

 in all ]3robability, survive so severe a test of its 

 vital powers. 



It is a little smaller fish than the White 

 Bass, weighing from one to two pounds when 

 full grown. Spawns in the month of May. Their 

 management the same in all resj)ects as the pre- 

 ceding species. 



BEST METHODS OF ANGLING. 



A small minnow is the best bait by far for 

 this fish, though it will bite very readily the 

 angle worm, and I have frequently taken them 

 with the squid.
