Fish and Fishing 







worm at a time. There are often difficult eddies 

 where the worm cannot be placed because of 

 overhanging trees or side bushes. To obviate 

 such difficulty, take hold of the hook shank with 

 about the desired length of line out, and hold 

 the rod out, then let go the hook shank and the 

 force of the bended tip will flirt the worm to the 



desired spot. After a little practice in 

 Ripping worm flipping' the angler can expertly 



place the bait within an inch of any spot 

 required. Many little round spots of foam are 

 formed by the eddying swirls, mostly in places 

 impossible to get at except by this method of 

 flirting the bent rod. I use it often with advan- 

 tage in fly-fishing by just holding the end fly and 

 flipping it to places that could not be reached in 

 any other way.
