THE SHANNON TWIN SPINNER 
GET ONE AND BE LUCKY 
It Gets the Fish — bass, pickerel or musky — in thick 
lilies or rushes, slumps or snags, or in open water. 
Fish where the fish are. That's the way the big 
catches are made. It's all the same to the Shannon. 
Then note how close the blades run to point of hook. 
No fish can hit them without being hooked. A 
strike means a fish. That's why so many big catches 
are made on the Shannon. Ask any one who uses it. 
Or belter, try it yourself. Order now.

is shaking the bushes and not a deer. 
There are any number of little tricks of 
woodcraft with which the novice is un- 
familiar and which are all well known 
to the experienced guide, because he ! 
makes a daily practice of them. 
Without guides the casualty list of 
hunters accidentally killed in the woods 
would be greatly increased, also the num- ;■ 
ber of hunters lost. j

alum and salt in equal quantities and rub 
in well, leaving it in this stage for an- 
other week. After that it should be 
scraped again, taking all the tissues and 
surplus matter, such as salt, grease and 
alum off. 
Now the third and most difficult pro- 
cess comes. Sprinkle powdered alum all 
over the hide, and be careful not to put 
too much on, as you are apt to burn the 
hide, which will cause it to rot. Then 
rub in all the skin will take, leave the rest 
on top. Leave for three or four days. 
Then scrape it thoroughly, after which 
apply a pure animal or vegetable oil (fish 
oil, preferable). Leave for about three 
days and then scrape out all the oil. Take 
pelt off stretcher and sprinkle lightly 
with oil, and work it well with the hands. 
As soon as the skin is soft, you can rub 
it with a soft, dry cloth, which will take 
up all surplus oil. Then your pelt is 
ready for lining, making a muff or any- 
thing you wish.

salmon fishing at 
STERLING LAKE 
(Continued from page 159) 
Mr. H. A. Driscole, the famous fish 
artist, had gone over with me on that 
day to make casts and color sketches of 
these salmon and steelhead as they came 
fresh from the water, and we were for- 
tunate in being able to make a perfect 
cast of this fish before shrinkage began 
to take place. Mr. Driscole is now paint- 
ing this and other casts of salmon and 
steelhead taken from Tuxedo and Ster- 
ling lakes, and they will be placed on ij 
exhibition when finished. Such casts 
will be exact reproductions in anatomy 
and color, and as we know the age of 
these fish down to the very day they were 
hatched, they will be of much scientific 
interest. 
All of the fish taken in Sterling Lake 
were simply gorged with smelt, and their 
rapid growth and splendid condition is 
an illustration of what can be accom- 
plished by the proper building up of a 
suitable food supply before the desired 
game varieties are introduced. 
Since 1839. 83 years, the Milaras have 
been making the celebrated Kentucky 
Reel in the same location, and all the 
knowledge gained by these years of ex- 
perience is put into their reels to-day.
