FOREST AND STRFAM. 



Keystones at Springfield. 



The snowstorm of April 7 cut down the attendance at the target 

 tournament arranged by Enoch Miller to be held at Springfield, N J., 

 and of the twenty or more entries expected for the 50-target event 

 only a dozen materialized. Some were frightened off by the bad 

 weather, while several were obliged to go to Dexter Park to look 

 after business interests. There was a rousing hot fire in the shoot- 

 ing box and this proved a great attraction to the contestants and 

 other visitors, especially after standing in the storm long enough to 

 shoot off a string. Among the out of town visitors were w. H. Skin- 

 ner, of Worcester, Mass.; H A. Thurman and "Butch" Landis, of 

 Germantown, Pa. : Charley Young, of Springfield, Ohio; C L. Edger- 

 ton, of Willimantic, Conn,: Ferd Van Dyke and W. R. Hobart, of 

 Newark, representing the Winchester Arms Company; A. C. Krueger, 

 "B'ackbird"; E. O. Geoffrey and Lemuel Thomas, of Newark; J. 

 Warren Smith, of Orange, and T. K. Keller, of Plainfield. 



Acting on the suggestion of the shooters the 50-target event was 

 split into two parts (events 6 and 7) of 25 targets each. Those who 

 cared to do so put up 85 and counted the two strings as one sweep, 

 while others went into each half as a separate event. 



Event No. 1 was a warmer at 10 targets, $1 entry. The results:

 serve* it for presentation to culinary officials, bass caught in a narrow, 

 rocky, rapid river (no railway accessible), for 10 days. Expect to fish 

 such a stream for a distance of 70 miles by boat, and have never yet 

 on similar excursions been able to bring my catch home in a presen- 

 table condition Can you or any of my fellow subscribers to Forest 

 and Stream enlighten me? Ans. The best advice we can give you is 

 either to have a well constructed in your boat, or if that is not 

 practical, to tow a live I ox astern In the live box the majority of 

 your bass will live and be in good condition at the end of your trip, 

 provided they are not too crowded. 



J G. S., Brooklyn.— Please inform me in your next issue what is the 

 best bait and kind of tackle to use in the capture of wall-eyed pike; 

 also what is the best time of the year to fish for the same? Ans. Dr. 

 D C. Estes recommends for boat fishing a three-jointed bamboo rod 

 about 12ft. long, a click reel placed in front of the hand and on top of 

 the rod, 30 or 40yds. of braided silk or linen line and a sproat-bend 

 hook No. 3-0, tied to a single length of twisted double gut or to gimp. 

 For swift water fishing he used a much longer rod, sufficiently pliable 

 for long casts. As a rule, ordinary bass tackle is used in taking this 

 fish and either live bait or long strips cut from a fish and trimmed so 

 as to spin nicely. This fish is often taken through the ice, but the fall 

 is probably the" best time.
