block. The stud was made from 

 another small screw with the head 

 filed off. The trigger was left 

 long enough so that it can readily 

 be released from the stud by the 

 index finger. When locked in 

 place it is almost entirely free 

 from strain. 



A good coat of varnish com- 

 pleted the job. The net bag was 

 not a difficult thing to make. 



FOR TROLLY FISHERMEN 



BY JOHN CONNEL 

 Fishing with the trolly line is 

 not especially a fine art, but once 

 in a while I like to practice it, even 

 when up among the bass and 

 pickerel of the northern lakes. It 

 is a relief to just loaf for a day 

 and go after pan fish by a lazy 

 man's methods. 



Now, my little Kink is right 

 here : Most anglers use gut 



hooks, fastened to the trolly by 

 a short bit of line. About a half 

 inch from each hook I place a 

 single small split shot sinker. This 

 is just enough to keep the hooks 

 from swinging and tangling with 

 one another or with the trolly

 especially if there is the least bit 

 of wave action in the water. So, 

 instead of snells, I use plain 



WHEN THE STREAM GOT 

 ROILY 



BY WILFORD R. LUTZ 

 I was talking to an angler this 

 morning who read me a kink that 

 he had some experience with in 

 Maine. It was a day when the 

 fish would not bite. He had tried 

 everything in the line of flies 

 from a Black Gnat to a Red 

 Dragon, without much success. 

 He was whipping a stream below 

 some gentle rapids, when he ac- 

 cidentally caught sight of the 

 finest school of 

 trout that fisher- 



man ever saw. He tried every- 

 thing in the profession, but they 

 would not bite. 



Just at that time some cattle 

 crossed the stream a little above 

 him and roiled the water. He saw 

 the roily water coming and
