ROCK BASS. 117 



BEST METHODS OF ANGLING. 



The Rock Bass, like all other species of Bass, 

 is a bold biter, taking freely the live or dead 

 minnow, or even, the angle worm does very well 

 where minnows cannot be had. 



This embraces all the fresh water Bass with 

 which I am acquainted. There is, however, a 

 fish in the Southern feand Southwestern States, 

 known by a variety of names — Carolina Weak Fish, 

 White Salmon, Trout and Growler — which is un- 

 doubtedly a true Bass, and has been described 

 by some one, under the name of Ghystes Scrtmo- 

 nides. It is said to be an excellent table fish, 

 and I^have no doubt would be every way suit- 

 able t<x introduce into artificial ponds.
