Dear Sirs: — The 12-bore "Magnum” I bought from 
you for shooting herons has been a remarkable success. 
The first shot was at a heron in a spruce tree — it fell 
dead and we measured the distance, finding it to be 
110 yards. There were 5 No. I shots in the bird’s body. 
The second shot, a day or two later, killeil a heron 
at 98 yards. Since then we have had a number of loi g 
shots, winch we have mcTsured. 
Tours faithfully, W. H. A.

THAT FIRST DAY WITH [ 
THE TROUT 
{Continued from page 151) !■ 
I 
ahead of them as they work down. Per- 
sonally, I cannot recommend this plan j 
for several reasons. The ability to feel [I 
the strike of the fish and to strike in re- | 
turn is practically nullified. ! 
The fish is much more likely to gorge 
the lure, if bait, and, if the trout is small, 
below legal size, it is practically killed 
in the process of extracting the hook. 
The power to strike on sight is entirely 
negatived. I believe that skilful approach 
and a shorter line will take more fish, ! 
with greater likelihood of setting the 
hook in the jaw rather than in the 
stomach, and with less consequent dam- 
age to the small fish whose size demands ' 
their return to the water. 
Light and direction of wind are mat- i 
ters also to be considered in deciding for j ! 
up-stream or down. The shadow on the I 
water is a handicap, and to overcome it I 
one should fish in the direction which ' 
avoids this. A head wind is a well- ' 
known annoyance to the angler, to avoid ' 
which he should choose that direction in | 
fishing which puts the wind behind him | 
or at one side. ' 
S INCE the introduction and multipli- I 
cation of brown and rainbow trout in , 
streams once tenanted only by fontinalis, j 
somewhat dififerent tactics must be em- j 
ployed on the same stream to meet ( 
the different characteristics of the fish. , 
Brown trout, in my own experience, are j 
shyer than either of the other varieties , 
and, when frightened, . seem to require I 
longer to recover. i 
I have sometimes looked over into a i 
pool tenanted by rainbows which would i 
vanish at the least motion. But, in half ' 
an hour or so, a fly cast in would meet I 
a quick and hearty response. I think j 
brook trout are rather shyer than rain- i i 
bows, but less so than browns. In a t 
much-fished eastern brook, with which I , 
am acquainted, repeated trials convince | * 
me that often a brown trout will not | 
come to the fly more than once, that is, 
actually make a dash and try to seize the ^ ® 
lure. i ’ 
To be most successful the angler must | 
know these characteristics and act ac- 
cordingly. The brown trout can see be- *' 
hind better than the speckled variety, on j? 
account of the position of the eyes, and 
so, in up-stream fishing, the approach to J 
the spot suspected of containing this va- 
riety should be as nearly as possible in 
line with the supposed position of the 
fish. II 
Brown trout are said to frequent the 
upper side of rocks and obstructions in | 
the current, but I know that speckled ■ 
trout sometimes do this, and sometimes 
prefer to lie in the sheltered slack water 
just at the lower side of the place of j. 
concealment. My personal experience, | 
however, does not entirely confirm this 
reputation of the brown trout. I have i | 
more often found them in pockets at the j 
head of a stretch of swift water; often, [J 
too, large specimens have been observed
