THE ANCIENT ART OF TROLLING in 



generally it may be said that, when the weeds are 

 down in the winter it is an excellent method of fishing 

 for pike, but the mistake must not be made of striking 

 too quickly. I have lost many a good fish by forgetting 

 that the tackle was intended as a compromise, and 

 was not to be regarded as the regular triangle flights 

 of the ordinary spinning bait. Give the fish a yard 

 run, and then hit him firmly.
