QUESTION. In fly-casting for bass what shade of 

 fly is best on a cloudy day and also on bright days? 

 C. S. P.

 on cloudy days; also in high or rough water. (2) 

 On bright days in clear or low water use a smaller 

 fly of subdued or dark color. By all means try out 

 fly-casting for bass. It's great early season best, 

 next comes tail end of season. Try river casting 

 any time during season, fine sport. 



QUESTION. Where can I get the Keeling Expert 

 underwater minnow and has the spoon got it all over 

 the other baits for trolling for bass and pike? 

 C. O. J. 



ANSWER. Fred C. Keeling, Rockford, Illinois, 

 makes the Keeling Expert and it is a fine underwater 

 lure for bass, especially in the hot weather when they 

 are down deep. The spoon hook used tandem in the 

 smaller sizes, say two or three; or four to six in the 

 larger size for pike, pickerel and musky makes a 

 killer and can be used with plain treble hooks, feath- 

 ered treble, flyed hook, pork rind, or minnow and 

 it is a bait many fellows swear by. It can be used 

 to advantage most any time for trolling and the small 

 single makes a good casting spoon with minnow, 

 frog or pork rind.
