FISHERMAN'S LURES 



of fish and worms, very often have trout among 

 the catch when taken in the following morning. 

 Finally, we may rightfully conclude that all fish 

 do take food of some kind through the night as 

 well as by day, if food is available, as we are sure 

 it is. Night fishing, so far as results are concerned, 

 is perfectly proper, and to my thinking quite ex- 

 cusable to those men limited to week-end vaca- 

 tions. If they do spend part of the night, say from 

 dark to 2 A. M., they are bound to get some fish 

 for their friends at home. Indeed, they are much 

 more likely to succeed thus, than by fishing 

 throughout the hot days in July and August. If 

 they use artificial baits, success is more sure, be- 

 cause hooking live bait and keeping it in proper 

 trim is most difficult after dark.
