GREAT PIKE AND LIVE BAIT 



failed, twice by employing minnows and once by the 

 use of frogs, not to include the few occasions when I 

 have resorted to the unusual mouse bait. After all, 

 there is more in live-bait fishing than the disciple of 

 plugs or the user of spoons realizes. 



Note. — ^For some years I have been busy experimenting with 

 live bait and live-bait tackle, gathering data everywhere, the 

 results being set down in my forthcoming "Fishing with Live 

 Bait," a book considerably larger than this. The whole question 

 of live-bait fishing is thoroughly discussed, from finding and 

 keeping the bait to how to handle it upon lake and stream. 

 The reader of this chapter, interested in the subject, is invited 

 to secure the work.
