TROLLING 



THE JACK OR PIKE. 



JACK and PIKE are the most voracious of 

 the fresh-water tribe ; their jaws are filled 

 with an incredible number of teeth, by which 

 they are enabled to overcome any fish which 

 may be bold enough to encounter them. Their 

 body is long, and when in season covered with 

 slirny matter ; their eyes are of a bright yellow 

 color; and the head is somewhat flattened. 

 They spawn in March ; and are not in season 

 till September.
