Fishing in North Carolina. 14'i 



consider the size of a 7-lb chub's mouth it would 

 take a small anchor to fit it and hold the fish. 



I prefer the eyeless Limerick hook with a 

 slight turn. The barb of the Cincinnati bass 

 hook is too small for safety. 



As regards leads everything will depend on 

 the water to be fished, whether still or swift, 

 the bait used, the fish to be caught and the 

 angler himself. 



For carrying fish there is no contrivance that 

 compares with the French Willow Basket, No. 

 2, capacity 12 pounds; fitted with a leather or 

 cloth shoulder strap, the total cost being one 

 dollar and fifty cents. 



A. very serviceable minnow seine made of 

 strongly woven netting 1-3 inch mesh, 8 feet 

 long, and rigged with floats and sinkers ready 

 for use will cost another dollar and a half. 



An ordinary, strong piece of cord, a yard or 

 so long, with a small stick tied to one end is 

 very useful to string fish upon as soon as caught 

 in order to tie them out and keep them alive. 



The writer has had no great experience with 

 net fishing because he has rather "looked down"
