THE BOOK 

 OF THE PIKE 



By 



O, W. SMITH 



Fishing Editor of Outdoor Life and 

 Author of '^Casting Tackle and Methods' 



Elaborately illustrated on cameo paper. 



In The Book of the Pike Mr. 



Smith presents the wealth of in- 

 formation accumulated from lake, 

 stream, and laboratory during the 

 last thirty or forty years. During 

 the time he has been Angling Editor 

 of Outdoor Life he says that more 

 questions have been asked regard- 

 ing the identity of members of the 

 Pike family than of any other group 

 of fishes, unless it be the western 

 Trouts. In this book he clearly 

 explains how the angler can know 

 whether a given specimen is a pick- 

 erel, a great pike, or a lordly mus- 

 kellunge. Besides there is much 

 natural history and scientific infor- 

 mation told in a popular manner. 

 There are also many stories and 

 anecdotes of pickerel, pike, and 

 'lunge fishing, which the cursory 

 reader, as well as the angler, will 

 find interesting.

 of the American Pikes; Casting for 

 Great Pike with Artificial Lures;
