TROUT FLY-FISHING IN AMERICA 



in Massachusetts with worms, caught trout that were al- 

 most as black as your shoe and without a single red spot 

 showing. Such trout when dead or alive have, in five min- 

 utes, while being suspended from a line, changed from the 

 very dark color to a subdued color, having the bright red 

 spots well defined. 



Again I say to anglers, give this subject of coloration 

 some consideration. You will find it interesting. You 

 will also find it a great help when fishing new waters, and 

 on old waters it may make the difference between success 

 and failure, especially at certain seasons of the year when 

 fishing is allowed.
