The Sunfish 



scribable bunch, which must appear to the 

 fish a curious and unusual sight. Every 

 time a fish is caught, the old worm as well 

 as all broken parts should be removed, and 

 a new one, live and kicking, should take its 

 place. 



In fishing for sunnies there is little or 

 no necessity to move to a new place if the 

 fish stop biting for a while; at such times 

 throw a few worms in the water to attract 

 them to the bait, as sunfish shoal together 

 in large numbers. Sometimes the whole 

 morning can be spent in one spot, constantly 

 landing fish where the bait is placed, as 

 there seems to be some system whereby the 

 fish get to know food is to be had, and they 

 come from all around that part of the lake 

 or stream. Throw the bait in gently with- 

 out much splash, little time elapses and not 

 much waiting before the bob goes down 

 and another trophy is brought from the 

 water; fifty sunfish is by no means a great 

 morning's catch. If the amateur is able to 

 cast a fly much better sport can be enjoyed.
