nectidee, it is remarkably prolific ; and as it is really a game 
fish which affords excellent sport with very delicate tackle, 
it would be well to stock the lakes in the Middle States with 
it, where it is much less numerous than in Southern waters. 
For baits, it will take gentles, angle-worms well bleached 
in moss—and feunel is said to be good to mix with moss; 
grasshoppers with the legs taken off; a paste made of brown 
bread and honey. 
Use fine horse-hair and silk lines with quill-float, and fish 
near the bottom. There is a pond near the junction of the 
railroads from Augusta and Columbia toward Charleston, 
which has become celebrated for bream of best quality, and 
it used to be a great resort.
