HINTS TO FRESH WATER 

 ANGLERS 



Baits and Tackle 



T)EST LIVE BAIT. Angleworms are 



^ the best general bait for fishing, 

 as this "garden hackle" proves at- 

 tractive to a larger number of fishes 

 than any other live. bait. Rich soil 

 is the best place to find angleworms, 

 the heavy clay soil yielding good re- 

 sults, especially after rains. A strong 

 solution of salt water, freely poured 

 on the surface, will usually bring the 

 worms to the top of the ground. 



PRESERVING WORMS. By placing 

 worms in wet moss, and pouring a 

 pint of milk over them daily, they can 

 be kept in good condition quite a 

 length of time. Useful bait cans can 

 be bought at small cost, or made to 

 order by any tinsmith. 



LIVE MINNOWS. By using a small- 

 mesh dip net in waters where min- 

 nows abound, a good supply can soon 

 be caught, and properly kept by keep- 

 ing in a perforated can ? in pure water.
