ROCK BASS. 117 



BEST METHODS OF ANGLING. 



The Rock Bass, like all other species of Bass, 

 is a bold biter, taking freely the live or dead 

 minnow, or even the angle worm does very well 

 where minnows cannot be had. 



T-his embraces all the fresh water Bass with 

 which I am acquainted. There is, however, a 

 fish in the Southern and Southwestern States, 

 known by a variety of names Carolina Weak Fish, 

 White Salmon, Trout and Growler which is un- 

 doubtedly a true Bass, and has been described 

 by some one, under the name of Grystes Salmo- 

 nides. It is said to be an excellent table fish, 

 and I have no doubt would be every way suit- 

 able to introduce into artificial ponds.
