PIKE. 



side of the fish, in a line with the mouth, keeping the body 

 straight, and on passing the lip -hook through both lips, the 

 bait is ready for use. By keeping the body perfectly straight 



as far as the vent 

 and curving the 

 tail almost at right 

 angles with the 

 body, the bait will 

 spin "true" when 

 drawn through the 

 water. Some Ang- 

 lers prefer the bait 

 to spin with a 

 "wobbling" motion, 

 considering that it 

 then more resem- 

 bles a wounded fish, 

 but I always prefer 

 a straight spinner. 

 Besides the one 

 just mentioned, 

 there are the fol- 

 lowing flights, 

 which are on the 

 same principle of 

 curving the tail, 

 but two of them 

 are without the 

 reverse hook. 



No. 1 is the flight 

 already described, 

 but with the ad- 

 dition of a fly tri- 

 angle, this is 

 mounted on a 

 short piece of gimp, 

 having a small loop 

 which is passed 

 down the gimp of
