TROLLING WEATHER AND BAITS. 
Of weather for trolling there are several opinions. Some 
think that the calm after a storm is the best time; others, 
that a windy day is best. It is good weather for all kinds of 
angling and trolling when the mercury is well up in the ba- 
rometer and there is a gentle breeze; also when the sun looks 
with a modest silver face, it is much better than when the 
god of day is red and fiery, or glares with a golden or jaun- 
diced stare.
