In the same waters with the pickerel is found the Wall-eye 

 Pike {Stizostedion vitreum) representing the Pike Perches of the 

 world. It frequents the great lakes of America and their con- 

 fluents, and is sought for by anglers in the St. Lawrence (where 

 I have taken it), in Lakes Cayuga, Seneca, Oneida, Chautauqua, 

 of the State of New York, and many others farther to the south, 

 as far, even, as Georgia. 



It is a frequenter of the bottom in deep clear waters, but 

 wiU take a fly readily, and is a game fish of the highest rank 

 when taken in foaming waters near falls or rapids. Black bass 

 tackle is adapted to it, though very long rods are advocated by 

 Dr. D. C. Estes, the authority, who made Lake Pepin, Minnesota, 

 famous by his advocacy of this game fish whose name recalls 

 the invective in Titus Andronicus, where Lucius vents his sarcasm 

 on the Goth : — 



" Say waU-eyed slave, whither would'st thou convey 

 This growing image of thy fiend-Uke face ? "
