WHITE PERCH LE LUXE 



suddenly stop and can not be tempted again 

 until late in the afternoon. 



When about, gulls are excellent guides. 

 Where they are seen hovering or diving, 

 that's the place where the perch are feeding. 



The spot chosen for fishing was at the end 

 of a small baylike curvature skirting the edge 

 of pads and long grasses. 



It's good fun to cast small flies for hungry 

 white perch; but not difficult, as they strike 

 sharply. 



Rather small flies, say No. 8, bright in 

 coloring, are well taken. The Angler chose 

 a light-wing Davis, Parmachenee belle and 

 a Montreal. The young lady, a King of the 

 waters, Scarlet Ibis and a Brown hackle. 



When this daughter of Neptune struck a 

 fish immediately she landed him. Fre- 

 quently she had two on the cast and twice a 

 trio responded. She did not lose a single fish, 

 for her gallant guide stopped flirting with her 

 and flirted the fish very carefully into the 

 boat. The Angler allowed his cast to fill each 

 time before teasing the captives near the boat. 



White perch are the most delicious of the 

 food fishes that inhabit sweet waters. That 

 morning all that were needed were taken in 

 a clean and sportsmanlike fashion.
