the shoulders; if carefully done it will live 

 for some time. Use a No. 8 or No. 9 

 hook, and affixed to a piece of gut about 

 three feet long. Throw the bait under the 

 bushes and draw it gradually through the 

 water; it should have a single shot to sink 

 the bait. Chub are extremely shy, and the 

 angler should keep out of sight as much as 

 possible; and he must be approached with 

 great caution. Chub will also take worms 

 and small minnows, for such bait the an- 

 gler can either fish with a float or without; 

 but the leader should be strong, with one 

 or two shots to sink the bait, which should 

 be dropped into a deep hole or under a 

 bank, let sink to the bottom, then gradu- 

 ally raised, moving along with the current. 

 When a chub is hooked give him plenty of 

 line, for he shoots very violently away for 

 a few seconds, but soon gives up the fight. 

 The chub is not held in any great esteem 

 as a food for the table, its flesh being coarse 

 and hard.
