ANGLING FOR SALMON WITH 

 A " DOPED " FLY 



I HAVE for years been a great believer 

 in the acute smelling powers of fish. These 

 powers I have often tested when seafishing. 



If on a still day you see the dorsal fin of 

 a leisurely swimming shark on the surface 

 of the ocean, you may always inspire the 

 shark with new life by pouring fresh fish 

 blood into the sea. The shark will at once 

 become alert and begin to hunt the blood- 

 scent until he finally discovers its source. 



Then again, when anchored and fishing 

 for bonefish, after having distributed the 

 crab-meat chum, you will often see a school 

 of bonefish hunting the smell of the chum 

 as a pack of hounds hunt the cold scent of 

 a fox, quartering to the right and to the left 

 until they eventually hit the line and find 

 what they are looking for.
