Season for 

 Fishing 



Distribution 



Favorite Fish and Fishing 



varies likewise in different sections of the 

 country. Thus, both bait- and fly-fishing 

 are practiced in Florida during winter. In 

 the Middle West Kentucky, Tennessee, 

 Ohio, Missouri, etc. bait-fishing is avail- 

 able in the early spring, and fly-fishing as 

 well as bait-fishing in mid-summer and fall. 

 In the Northern States and Canada both 

 bait- and fly-fishing are at their best during 

 late summer and the fall months. 



The original habitats of the black bass, 

 either of one or both species, were the 

 hydrographic basins of the St. Lawrence, 

 Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Only the 

 large-mouth existed in the seaboard streams 

 of the South Atlantic and Gulf States. By 

 transplantation the black bass is now a res- 

 ident of every state in the Union. It will 

 thrive in any water the temperature of 

 which runs up to sixty-five degrees or more 

 in summer. It is one of the best fishes to 

 introduce to new waters where the proper 

 conditions exist, but should never, for 

 obvious reasons, be planted in the same 

 waters with any species of trout.
