228 LAKE AND STREAM GAME FISHING 



QUESTION. What do you think of the Water- 

 man Porto outboard motor, and do you think that 

 they scare fish? Q. T. W. 



ANSWER. The Waterman Porto is a good motor, 

 can be run at very low trolling speed, and slow 

 enough for casting. The reversing propeller comes 

 in mighty handy, and the entire motor is built right. 

 For river and lake it is sure a fine tool. Weighs 68 

 pounds, which makes it easy to portage. Govern- 

 ment tests of motors have shown that fish are not 

 frightened by motors. Of course in a lake turned 

 over to pleasure craft fishing falls off, but the out- 

 board motor used right will make your fishing more 

 pleasant and you cover far more fishing water. 



QUESTION. What is the difference in the spinning 

 of the Standard, Slim Eli and Idaho Hildebrandt 

 spinners? C. G. S. 



ANSWER. The Slim Eli is a narrow spinner that 

 spins close to the shank; Standard spins medium 

 close, and the Idaho spins wide. Standard best for 

 ordinary fishing, Idaho for roily waters, Slim Eli, 

 clear waters. 



QUESTION. Do you think the Nighthawk lumi- 

 nous compass is a compass one can rely on in the 

 woods? I am going to northern Canada and want 

 to carry the right thing in this line. P. L. F.
