HAIN'T'^ — rSKI) \S lUIT. 2T1 



Under many local names this l)(>autit'nl little ('i//iriiii/.'i is 

 found in every swifVrnnnin<; streani with u {gravelly l)ottoin,and 

 in the shallows of every pond or lakelet throughout the country. 

 They arc generally known as Killy-lish, and an' an excellent 

 hait t\>r fish of almost every kind that prey on other lish. 



As live hait tor Pike, I'ercli, or Cat-tish, they are not to he 

 equalled; and in s[)inninu' or tiitlling they are excellent for the 

 noble Striped I'ass, the I'ike, the Salmon, the Lake Trout in all 

 its varieties, and t\)r the Hrook Troiit — especially those which 

 are found in the tide creeks, where they are less willintr than in 

 other wntei-s to take the tly. A more particular description of 

 so common and well-known a ti^h would take up space need- 

 lessly, which is more re(piired for other parts of uiy subject ; and 

 the species are, I was almost about to say, innumerable. Three 

 of tlie commoner varieties, and those uiost useful as bait, arc 

 represented above.
