THE TROLLER S GUIDE. 



Trollins: continued. 



When trolling for Jack or Pike, make it a rule to 

 keep as far from the water as you can, and always 

 commence by casting in search near the shore side, 

 with the wind at your back ; but if the water and 

 weather be very bright, fish against the wind. After 

 trying closely, make your next throw further in the 

 water, and draw and sink the baited hook, by pulling 

 and casting the line with your left hand, while rais- 

 ing and lowering the rod with your right, drawing it 

 straight upwards, near the surface of the water, and 

 also to the right and left, searching carefully every 

 foot of water, and draw your bait against and across 

 the stream, which causes it to twirl or spin 3 and then.
