vidual boat, however. At all eroutii, fair -J . ,1 youmore 



room for less money. 



J . B., Toledo, Ohio.— Can you fcl ve me instructions OS to proper 

 tackle and bait for catching raaskalonge with rod and line? How 

 should they bo handled and landed when hooked V Ans. Uge a 

 stout IroUinfr rod, a raulliplyinfe' reel and at least a hundred yards 

 of good line with spoon and you will gel more sport than trolling 

 from a boat. Cast your spoon undpla>' it from side to side. Handle 

 your hsh like any other; give line when you must, and bring him 

 to gaff when you can. 



K. A. C, Philadelphia.— Is the Saimo o</i(a«s(T an A No. 1 game 

 fish, and where is it found? Please name its leading point lor 

 idcntiflcation. What species of trouc is that which appears uiioe 

 a year in big swarms in the Kangeley region and is Eeooped out in 

 such numbers? Ans. No, it is not as gamy as your combination 

 of letter and numeral is supposed to represent- Its common 

 name of "blue-backed trout" porh ips represents its most promi- 

 nent character to the angler. The mouth is smaller than in 

 fnntiiiaU-'i, llns large, except the adipose doraal. Seen from above 

 the lish is blue ; sides and abdomen of female silvery white; of 

 male a deep orange. It is found in headwalef= tjf the Ajidroscog- 

 gin, Kangeley, Oquossoc, Keuebago rivers, Moosemeguntic Lake, 

 etc. Your last question reters to ibis same fish. 



W. S. C, Wylic's Mill, Chester County, S. C— I have constructed 

 a pond, and want you to advise me in regard to stocking the 

 same. My limited means will not admit of my going or sending 

 to Washington for carp, i£ they have to be accompanied by some 

 one to take care of them on the way, and 1 know of none near 

 mo that could bo had. I prefer the carp, if they were within my 

 roach or means. I think I would prefer trout next to carp, but 

 the same dillieulty comes in with them, unless the eggs could he 

 sent, and then I wouldirt know how to dispose of them in the 

 pond. Would mir native trout be worth anything? or Ai-ouirt the 

 lish we catch in our rivers, and called by us cdrp, be worth eulti- 

 rating? Could the- earp not he sent by express, at a reasonable 

 price? I will impatiently await your reply, and hope you will 

 give nieall the iotoiination you can. Ans. Vour native " carp " 

 is not the true article, and your "trout " is the black bass. For 

 carp, write to Prof. S. F. Baird, Washington, D. C. It Is doubt- 

 ful if trout will live in your waters. If you read FouEST AND 

 SiitEAM you will got the latest f ntortnation on fish culture. The 

 boolfs published are miinly on trout culture, except " American 

 Fish Culture," by Norris. The carp is undoubtedly the best 

 fish for you.
