REMINISCENT TALES 



Always remember never to give him any 

 slack. When he sulks, keep the line taut, but 

 do not try to reel in by force, for he is heavy 

 and powerful, and will break the line easily 

 if too much strength is used. 



Hooks should be large and of good mate- 

 rial. Big spoons, baited, spoons with the 

 largest flies, or hooks with pieces of pork or 

 pork rind, worms, fish, and raw meat make 

 excellent lures. 



Troll in rather deep water near ledges or 



rocky shores.

Once upon a time the Angler played the 

 goat to perfection. 



While at a camp in Maine, where the fish- 

 ing was excellent, a friend told him that in 

 the neighborhood there was a lake abounding 

 with Togue. Being an ardent fly caster he 

 never had even tried for them, and was anx- 

 ious to ascertain what they were like. His 

 friend insisted that he should borrow his 

 tackle. 



The rod was as heavy as one used for sal- 

 mon but shorter. The reel looked huge and 

 held a lot of line. The arrangement of hooks 

 was wild and weird, but considered neces- 

 sary.
