FOREST, LAKE, AND RIVER 



in trolling and this method of fishing, equal sport 

 may be had in playing the fish, and bringing to net, 

 as when fly casting. True, the sensation of seeing 

 the fish jump for the fly, and striking it, is lacking ; 

 but, as previously stated, there is much of sentiment 

 in that ; the full measure of sport may be had 

 otherwise. When still fishing for bass with crabs, 

 dobsons, and other bass bait, pike-perch are quite 

 frequently taken, that is, in waters where both 

 fish are found. 



There can be no question but that the pike- 

 perch is now receiving increased attention, and 

 will soon be fully accredited with its many good 

 points. In all respects a game fish, ranking well 

 with the others, it is to be hoped that increased 

 attention will be given to its propagation, and that 

 all suitable waters will be stocked with them.
