BASS IN THE RIVERS AND STREAMS 89 



Ohio, I was slowly rowing across the river when 

 something flopped into the boat behind me. After a 

 few exciting moments of considerable activity the 

 flopper proved to be a 324-P un d large-mouth bass, 

 and the following night in practically the same spot, 

 another bass, larger by half a pound, flopped into 

 the boat while the wife was piloting a bunch of 

 suffragettes on a hunt for a mess of frogs. Later I 

 fished this stretch of water with a moonlight Mascot 

 wobbler and caught quite a few strings of fine bass, 

 particularly fine, I thought, for such " civilized " 

 waters. 



Bass fishing in the streams, rivers and lakes will 

 be better each year, as the steady stocking of all 

 civilized waters and the rapid increase of the fish, 

 as well as the adaptability of the large-mouth to all 

 waters, means good bass fishing, which is a keen 

 sport for anyone.
