SULKING SAMSONS 



when cooked properly. The worst, he never 

 rises to a fly. 



Of all baits the most alluring is a fair-sized 

 minnow, so impaled on an Archer spinner 

 or two hooks, that on a swiveled leader it 

 revolves well. A small sinker should be at- 

 tached to the line when the water is quite deep. 



Seth Green tied a sinker to a piece of string 

 and the string to the line, just above the 

 leader a most excellent and clever rig. If 

 the sinker catches among the rocks, a pull 

 breaks the string and saves the tackle. The 

 sinker keeps touching bottom but always al- 

 lows a good length of free line. 



A few hints may not be amiss to those of 

 you who have not attempted the capture of 

 these voracious, vicious villains. 



When a sharp tug is felt, give plenty of 

 time, for Many Names likes to chew a bit be- 

 fore he swallows. When you strike make it 

 hard and strong. He will make a long run 

 when well hooked, so let him go as far as he 

 likes. 



He will halt, sulk, pull back and grunt, 

 shaking his old head and begins to get mad 

 as you reel in. Then he makes another run 

 and sulks some more. He keeps up this 

 sort of thing until he is tired out.
