 Daniell's Method of Fishing with Caddies ; with Caterpillars. 



IN the droughts of summer, when the waters are 

 low and other baits fail, caddies, grubs, and maggots 

 may be used with much success, as the fish will then 

 exist principally upon such food. They are especially 

 adapted to still deep waters, when the trout seem 

 completely satiated and disgusted with the superabund- 

 ance of flies. These baits will doubtless be greedily 

 taken in all rivers by almost every species of fresh- 

 water fish ; but they are used with most convenience in 

 comparatively still running waters, as they are too 

 tender to withstand the roughness of the current in swift 

 rivers, unless they are only used in the eddies at the 

 sides, and the still pools at the foot of streams. 



Caddis, Caddies, or Cad-baits, are the nymphae or 

 larvae of various species of aquatic insects, which, on 

 issuing from the ovum, immediately commence to en- 

 velop themselves in artificial cases constructed of bits
