PICKEREL TROLLING IN SPRING 49 



the apex or small end of the V is pushed into the 

 pickerel's mouth sidewise, and turned round, open- 

 ing the jaw, and thus keeping them open. The 

 disgorger is simply a stick with a V-shaped piece 

 cut out of the end, and may be also made either 

 of bone or hard wood or metal. To use it; take 

 the line in the left hand and pass the notch into 

 the bend of the hook, and the latter is then readily 

 dislodged.
