BAIT-CASTING FOR TROUT 129 



large landing net, as well as some sort of light, a 

 pocket flash being convenient but hardly power- 

 ful enough for large water. Night bait-casting 

 for trout is my choice, when I desire a new ex- 

 perience, one that is just disagreeable enough 

 always to remain new. Thereby hangs a tale. 



I purpose writing an article upon this subject 

 some day, and only mention it here that as much 

 information as possible may be found in this 

 work. Anywhere that speckled trout are found 

 along the shores of Lake Superior they may be 

 taken with the short rod and reel. I know of 

 no fishing more captivating and entrancing than 

 that to be enjoyed where those great red rocks 

 lift themselves above the water along the North 

 Shore. Some large speckled trout are taken by 

 the rodster who simply casts out into the lake 

 amid the rocks. Undoubtedly if one were to 

 cast upon the reefs, as described in Chapter 14, 

 larger fish would be taken. It sometimes hap- 

 pens that an overgrown lake trout, Cristivomer 

 namaycush, will take the hook; then he of the 

 four- or five-ounce rod has his work cut out for 

 him. 



In conclusion, I would say that this is a field 

 but little explored by anglers, but later will be- 

 come very popular, more especially for rainbow
