G. C. P., Harrison, N. Y.— Please advise me of the largest assortment, 

 of flies that 1 could use to advantage for lake trout fishing this coming 

 autumn in Maine? Ans. Your question is a difficult one to answer, as 

 the lake tront is not really a surface feeder. Only in spring does this 

 trout rise to the surface. They can then be taken with fly, more especi- 

 ally at the outlets of lakes. Iu the fall they also go into shallow water 

 ormed by the gravely bars at the mouths of Inlets to spawn, and they 

 will then often take a fly or troll. They take the same flies that brook 

 trout do.
