94 ANGLING FOR GAME PISH. 



fishing (see Fig. 62) ; it lies very close to the bait, to the 

 side of which it should be fixed. In live-baiting, the chief 

 skill is in playing the trout, for the angler has only to moor 

 his punt some 30yds. above the spot where a trout is known 

 to feed, let his bait float down to the spot, and await results. 

 The bait should be about 2^ft. below the float. An excellent 

 plan is, after the punt is moored, to let down the bait some 

 yards below where you believe the trout to be ; then, when 

 he comes on the feed, to reel in the bait to where he is seen 

 chasing the small fry. I am speaking, of course, of trout the 

 haunts and feeding-times of which are known.
