FOREST AJSD STREAM. 



fAUGivST 26, 1880. 



It is best, always, to flsli down stream, even with tlie 

 wind against one, for obvious I'^iisDiis. Cast just below 

 ripples and rapida, over eddios and poo's, along- the eilgea 

 uf weed patches, under pi-ojertinK banks and shelving 

 locks, near Buliini'i-t;cd trees or (Ifiltwood, otf gravelly 

 ^^>';M^, isoLilfd vuL'ks and \o\v^^ points or spurs of land ; it 

 is nsrloHs In iish bins deep, still reaches of water. 



The most favorable time for fly-fi.shiug for black bass 

 is during tlie last hours of the day, from .sundown until 

 dark, and also on bright moouli{?ht evenings. On streams, 

 an iKiiir or two following sunrise, in warm weallier, is 

 ipiite favorable. On darlc, cloudy aaid cold days the 

 middki hours are best. Bright sunny days, especially in 

 hot weather, are not favorable to fly-fishing, e.vcept in 

 quite Ci3ol, shady and breezy sittiations. In short, ihe 

 best conditions are a mellow or dusky light, a good breeze, 

 and translucent water : wliile the most unfavorable are 

 a bright sun, a still atmosphere, and a smooth and glassy 

 surface, with the water either very tine or very tin bid. 



And now, in concluding these papers, let iii>i say a 

 parting word to tlie t)eginner : Cast a stTaight line ; keep 

 it taut ; strike upon siglit, or touch ; kill your flsli on tlie 

 rod; t;ike your time. It is better to cast a' short line well, 

 than a long one liunglin.gly, Should you cast your fly 

 iuto the branch of a tree overhead, or into a bush behind 

 you, or niios your tisli in striking, or lose him when 

 hooked, or crack off your tail-fly, or slip into a hole up to 

 your armpits, keep your temper ; above all things don't 

 swear, for he tliat swears will catoli no fish. Remember, 

 yours is the gentle art, and a fly-fisher should be a gen- 

 tleman. " J. A. IlENSUALL, 



Cynthiana, Ky., Aug. dth. 



Birth of a Sea-Lton. — ^A sea-lion is announced as 

 having been born in the dreug of W. C, Coup, now in 

 Virginia, and the bills say: "This Polar midget is at 

 once the theme and tin(iu:ili(ied delight of all beholders. 

 The Uttle folks are p^peei^illy delighted with this oceanic 

 infant, no Invger tlian a kitten and the o;ily one on exhi- 

 bition on the earth's surface." etc. Wo cannot do justice 

 to the big letters, an.l the rest of the phraseology is in- 

 complete without them, but if (Joup says he's got it, %ve 

 believe it.

Post vuk Gamk Laws on Railroads.— iVeiw York, 

 Ati^, nsth,— Editor Forest and Stream:— Ab parti-idge 

 shooting begins on tlie 1st of September, and as the 

 trappers and siuuer.-: of srnd Innls begin their notori- 

 ous woik on that same dav. would it not be weU for 

 our different game associations to try to preven t them, 

 and thereby stop the whoies,ale slaughter of the finest 

 bird we have. Some years ago the supervisors of Or- 

 ange and Rockland counties passed a law making it a 

 misdemeanor for an express company or a railroad to 

 carry or transport trapped or snared birds. I there- 

 fore would suggest the following : Let the dift'erent 



' •:'• •--^'■eiaHonB get up printed copies of the laws 



iiiti;^ and snaring ; let said notices be put up 

 :_,e car of each train running on tlie Erie 

 i ._ I lA-.een .Jersey City and Port iTervis, also on the 



Hudson Iiiver between New York and Albany, and also 

 on the dift'erent railroads of Long Island : let, also, said 

 notices be put up in each station alo.'ig the -above-named 

 i-aUroads. Permission will be easily gotten troni the 

 railroad authoi-ities, and the ex|_iens"e of said notices 

 would not he \eiy large. The Long Island Railroad 

 could be attended to by I lie Long Island (ianie Prote 

 tive Association, the Erie Railroail coidd be looked after 

 by the Hudson River Game --Vssociaiion, and the New 

 York Game Protecti\e Association could take care of 

 the New York Central Railroad and the markets -where 

 those trapped birds are sold. I, for one, am willing to 

 pay my share toward the expense of all this, and, with- 

 out any doubt, a good many sportsmen will do the 

 same. Let us move in this matter at once, and thereby 

 we will have thousands of birds, quail as well as part- 

 ridge. A True Lovek cif thk .Sport. 



■Wanted, More Like Him.— The following commu- 

 nication is addressed to the editor of the Tarry town, N. Y. 

 Argus, and published in that paper with an editorial in- 

 dorsement of the writer's faithfulness and energy :— 



In your last issue appeared an article signed "PhUo 

 Minor," in which he speaks of woodcock shooting and 

 the violation of the game la«'. 'VVhde I agree with him 

 on his remarks on shooting birds before the law is up, 

 fwliich I thinly no true sportsman will do), I think he 

 speako rather too harsldy about game constables. While 

 there are some who need to be reminded of their duty, 

 there are others who do all that lies in their power to en- 

 force the laws ; and one of the latter class I claim to be, 

 because I feel interested in the protection of game birds 

 and have for a number of years, from time to time, had 

 the game laws pubbshed "in the Argus. After I was 

 elected to the office of game constable I did all I could to 

 enforce the laws, and [ am willing to attend to all com- 

 plaints tliat are made to me ; and the fact that I had 

 several Imndreil copies of the game laws printed, which 

 have been distributed through the town of Mount Plea- 

 sant and some in Greenburgh, in order that people 

 might know the laws, -will show that I mean business. 



I claim to ta.ke as much interest in the protection of game, 

 and am wUling to do as much work toward the same, 

 as any true sportsman can, not excepting "Philo Minor." 

 Geo. Laiok, 

 Game Constable, Town of Mount Pleasant. 



Virginia QvAihHnocm^a.— Editor Forest aiid Stream: 

 -Please inform me where a party of two can go in Vir- 

 ginia to get first-class quail shooting this fall, not over a 

 day's ride by railroad from Washington, D. Ci Would 

 not object to going to a farmer's where they are pleas- 

 ant and where birds are plenty. Don't want to go where 

 peojile object to gunning. Will want to remain about 

 tNvo weeks, if the shooting is good, and want to go where 

 we can have a good, free and easy time. F. & B. 



A Washington coi-iespondent kindly furnishes the m- 

 formation desired as follows : — 



Last fall there was first-class quail shooting on the Rap- 

 pahannock bottoms near tide water. King George Court 

 House is a good place of lendezvous, and from there one 

 can niove off in aLmost any direction and obtain good 

 shooting. A general State law " posts" all lands in the 

 State, but gentlemen can almost invariably obtain the 

 privilege of shooting by proffering a polite request. 



There is also good shooting to be had in Accomac 

 County. Quail will be veiy plentiful in Maryland and Vir- 

 ginia next fall owing to the mdd winter and the weather 

 of the spring, which was favorable to the broods. Last 

 fall was so hot and dry that dogs had considerafile diffi- 

 culty in working, and the quail were not slaughtered by 

 the wholesale, as usual. By the way, I see that the Sun 

 last week copied my article ou " Sportsmen in Congress" 

 from the Forest and Stream. 



An Ancient i'MNx-i^ocK. — A Vernon, Ind,, correspon- 

 dent sends us a clipping -which describes a curious relic 

 of the diden tunes :— 



Robert Levitt, of Vernon, has deposited in the State 

 Museum the remains of an ancient flint-lock breech- 

 loading gun which was found several feet below the bed 

 of the creek near Vernon. It wa.s first exhibited at the 

 old settlers' meeting, but none of the pioneers remem- 

 ber ever having heaid of a breech-loading, flint-lock gun. 

 The barrel, rusted througli in several places, is three feet 

 long, with a large bore. The spring is still strong, but 

 the slock, of black walnut, is badly decayed and only a 

 smaU piece oi \vood could l.ie secured. The only theory 

 advanced to account for its presence in the creek was 

 that an Indian trail fTom Lawrenceburg was frequently 

 used by soldiers of 1812, and as the creek was on the line 

 of this "trail, the gim was lost or thrown aside, only to be 

 brought to light in this day of breech-loaders, Gatling 

 guns and heavy ordnance. 



Georgia Dove .Shootino. — Macon. <?«., Aug. 16f/(. — 

 1 notice a communication from J. D. H., Na.shville, Tenn., 

 on "Dove Shooting." Some of our ilacon sportsmen 

 have had fine sport recently in that fine, several parties 

 kUlrng as high as 600 birds" in one day's sliooting. Five 

 of us killed 2:^2 one day, and lour oi hers ihe next day 

 ba.gged respectively 60. !M, 10-.' and 105. This calls to 

 mind a day's Imnt in an adjoining countv in IHijH, m 

 which ^.M'l doves u-er.-, Iiagge,!. .Muzzle-loaders n-ere 

 used, and two biothcrs baggeil re.-.pectively n;i and \Qi, 

 shooting six hours. I. II. J. 



New HAMfSHiHE— X,itte Village, Aug. 16Wi.— Wood- 

 cock hunting is good in this place, Meredith and Belmont. 

 Large bags ai-e brought in every few days. Myself and 

 friend shot tliirreen over the same dog after -1 P.li. Fri- 

 day of last week-. A party \\ ent to (Jentre Harbor one 

 day last week, and brought home eighteen that were 

 veiy fat and in splendid condition. Grrouse in this lo- 

 cality are very plenty, and promise a good season's 

 sport. Gic. 



Meauow Lark SHocrriNn. — The answer to a cones- 

 pondent in om- last week's issue, was inadvertently given 

 without a reference to the June, 1880, amendments to 

 the Ne\' Y. rlr g nie law, The season for meadow lark 

 shooting i-i iroiii Oct. 1st to Jan. 1st, and does not begin, 

 as was dated, .Sept. Ist. 



New York — Hornellsville, Aug. 16th. — Not over a 

 dozen woodcock have been killed here so far this sea- 

 son. A few miles from here three men got twenty-one 

 in one day, which is the beat bag I have heard of this 

 season. JOHN. 



—Three WUson snipe were killed on the Newark mea- 

 dows last week. Although these are early birds, yet it 

 is not untisual for English snipe to be shot in that vioiii- 

 ity early in August. We remendier once of hearing of 

 thirteen birds being shot ou the EUzabethtown meadows 

 in July. No doubt the birds liad bred there.-
