NOTE 107 



limit put to the practice is the use of the flat-lying, double hook, 

 which necessitated the operation of gorging, objected to in the 

 trolling which was once en rigle. 



Artificial baits were beginning to be well known even forty 

 years ago, and their name now is legion. Novelties succeed one 

 another in rapid succession, and it is the fashion to speak in 

 terms of derision of the fads by which anglers are tempted. It 

 is nevertheless a fact that such fish as pike, salmon, and trout 

 often require a novelty, very much as human beings do ; hence 

 it arises that some newly-invented bait for a time obtains a 

 high reputation, as being superior to all others ; but the fish 

 soon find out the fraud. — W. S.
