TROLLING. 25 



boisterous and cold, you may take Jack and 

 Pike, while other fish refuse every enticement; 

 it is also highly conducive to health by the 

 excercise which it affords. 



The Jack, Pike, and Perch generally bite 

 most free during a breeze of wind, and will 

 feed all day. When you intend to use live 

 baits, take at least six in your fish-kettle, and 

 give them fresh water during your perambu- 

 lation ; if you mean to use the gorge, bait three 

 hooks before you begin, and keep them in 

 bran, in a gentle-box large enough for the 

 baits to lie at their length. Always use fresh 

 and lively baits, for though Jack and Pike are 

 tyrants and gluttons, they are also epicures.
