THE KLAPP AND VITTJE-HAF. 



up in less than twenty- four hours, it is usual to examine it 

 cursorily more than once in the interim. This is effected by 

 lifting the Flarn with the oar, or what not, in regular suc- 

 cession, when it is quickly ascertained if captures are made. 



Though several kinds of fish, more especially pike in the 

 spring, are frequently taken by the Flott-ref, it is chiefly 

 intended in the Wenern, at least for huge trout, to which 

 it proves very destructive. A friend of mine, residing on 

 the northern shores of that lake, captured in this way, in 

 less than a day and a half, no fewer than forty-four trout, 

 weighing one with another eight to nine pounds each ; and 

 this independently of other kinds of fish, such as pike, perch, 

 ide, asp, &c.
