OSWEGO BASS. 



We are not familiar with the scientific 

 name of this species. It is frequently con- 

 founded with the fresh-water Black Bass, 

 but seems to differ in several particu- 

 lars — being larger-bodied, larger- headed, 

 broader, with tail more forked, larger- 

 scaled, and eye devoid of red. Weight from 

 five to eight pounds. In point of flavor it 

 does not rival the other species. As a fish, 

 however, it is equally active and gamy. 



Taken in most New York lakes and in- 

 terior streams ; also in the Ohio and St. 

 Lawrence Rivers. 



Fishing is similar to that of the fresh- 

 water Black Bass, 



ROCK BASS. 



Centrarchus ySneus. 



Sometimes called " Fresh-water Bass." 

 Found in all the Great Northern Lakes ; 

 also in Champlain Lake, Oneida Lake, 

 and other lakes ; also in the Upper Hud-
