CABBAGE, AND OTHER GRUBS. 55 



Yv^hen the fish are feeding freely^ I am not 

 prepared to say that fig. 2., Plate III. — where 

 a real Grasshopper, Grub, or Worm, is placed 

 on the point of the hook — will not kill as 

 many as figs. 1. and 3. Even under such 

 circumstances, I have greater faith in the latter 

 than in the former. The fine triple hook, 

 hano'ing loose from the bait, is endowed with 

 strangely taking propensities. And when the 

 Grayling are running fine, a very common 

 habit, the superiority of figs. 1. and 3. re- 

 quires but a single day's trial to establish. 

 Any grub or worm may be hitched on to the 

 triple, as well as on to the single hook. 



I have had excellent sport with the first and 

 second varieties of fig. 3. Plate III., described 

 in page 46 ; and I can most strongly recom- 

 mend their adoption. When the weeds are 

 troublesome, I have killed many good Trout by 

 guiding these baits into those narrow channels 

 between the weeds, and formed by the weeds 

 themselves. In such places, fine fish often 

 lurk.
