Fishing with the Fly 



for with worms, this beautiful little fellow will take the fly, his 

 preference being one in which orange or yellow predominates, such 

 as the yellow drake, California red hackle, yellow may or ouana- 

 niche. On a light fly-rod, swinging his broad side against the strain 

 of the line which he makes cut the water in a hissing circle, Mr. 

 Pumpkin Seed will often give the fisher a pleasant afternoon when 

 trout and bass are not rising. 



Many other species of fresh-water fishes will take the fly, some 

 of them readily and with a rush, others somewhat gingerly. 

 Among those we have taken with the fly may be mentioned 



" Clark's spey cast " is a difficult, but beautiful cast to make. Mr. Clark, 

 from whom it takes the name, is credited with throwing fifty yards. 



'the crappie, calico bass, rock bass, warmouth bass, bluegill, 

 red-eared sunfish, white lake bass, and yellow perch. And the 

 cisco of Lake Tippecanoe and the small Wisconsin lakes takes 

 the fly beautifully for a few days in June, as has been shown 

 by that excellent and versatile angler, William C. Harris.
