NEW ARTIFICIAL NATURE LURES 



From the foregoing chapters it will be seen that 

 I have made a large variety of minnow baits — as to 

 size, shape and color. Not more, I beheve, than is 

 warranted by so important a part as the minnow 

 takes in fish diet; for every angler will agree that 

 the minnow is undoubtedly the most popular lure 

 for all game fish, under any condition, or in any lo- 

 cation or season. As the seasons come and go, we 

 find live minnows scarcer, more difficult to procure, 

 and the time is near — in fact, it is here now — when 

 a good substitute is of the greatest value ; for game 

 fish need all the food that nature now provides, to 

 attain large growth and still be abundant.
