SOME FISH AND SOME FISHING 



means which could not otherwise be per- 

 suaded to take. 



Some of the boatmen at Avalon have be- 

 come artists in kite fishing for it is not as 

 simple as it reads, as the kite must fly 

 steadily and the bait be kept moving in a 

 natural manner, for although it is easy to 

 fool some fish sometimes it is not easy to 

 fool all the fish all the time. 



For a kite to fly, there must be wind and 

 wind of the proper weight. It must not blow 

 too light nor too heavy, for in the latter case 

 it is difficult to keep the bait on the surface 

 of the water. 



In order to find a substitute for the kite 

 the wise men of the Tuna Club put their 

 heads together and invented or adapted sled 

 fishing. I say adapted, for poachers in 

 Great Britain have for years used a sled in 

 some fast running streams in order to place 

 a shrimp or bunch of worms in mid-stream 

 so as to steal other people's salmon and 

 trout.
