Bait Angling for Common Fishes 



scared, at least mature fish usually all 

 kinds of small and young fish are not so 

 easily frightened. 



When perch are caught in stagnant 

 ponds or muddy lakes, before cooking them 

 it is well to take the skin off; by so doing 

 the wooden, muddy taste is avoided. If 

 fried without the skin they make a very 

 delicious and palatable dish. When fish 

 are caught in running water or cool, spring- 

 fed lakes there is no need to take their skin 

 off, it is only necessary to scale them well, 

 their flesh being white and sweet. So that 

 either for game or edible purposes, when 

 possible, choose a running stream to fish in.
