to conditions. The little double-hook 
crawfish is very attractive to rainbows, 
especially in midsummer, as indeed it is 
for river bass. The material of which it 
is made is just right for it to float a 
little while, then to sink very slowly to- 
wards the bottom yet still not lie there 
dead but to float along by the action of a 
medium current. 
In giving these entirely new baits and 
methods a trial the angler will experience 
a new sensation, a pleasure quite as great 
as in casting flies, both wet or dry, after 
a little practice in the right manipulation 
of rodtip and a knowledge of where and 
how to place them attractively before the 
fish. 
Trout cannot nip an artificial cricket 
or grasshopper from the hook like they 
do so cleverly with the live insect. When 
they take these baits witH a rush, which 
is generally the case, you need not strike ; 
they hook themselves securely and to lose 
a trout on them is hardly possible. It is 
true that in swift, rushing water trout 
sometimes strike and miss, rising clear 
above the surface. When that occurs I 
at once change the lure, to induce a sec- 
ond rise, from a cricket to grasshopper 
or minnow, or whatever happens to be 
on the leader, just as I would do at a 
miss on flies. But as previously stated 
adult trout will rarely make a second rush 
on the same, or changed lure; they are 
too wary for that, and they do precisely 
the same to the natural insect. On the 
whole, I think it far better to let them 
alone, note the spot for a future occasion 
and continue fishing in a new situation. 
B efore I invented artificial nature 
lures I fished extensively with all live 
baits by the various popular methods in 
vogue. But now, and in the future, it is 
my strong conviction that all species of 
live bait should not be used at all by any 
method whatever. They should be let 
alone to grow and multiply as nature in- 
tended for the maintenance of gamefish 
as food to attain a greater size and abun- 
dance. 
If each individual angler will confine 
his efforts in all kinds of angling to arti- 
ficial baits and strive himself to improve 
baits and the methods employed, there 
will be more fish to capture, there will be 
more rational sport, and they will get 
more abundant catches of larger size fish.

Mr. R. H. Beck, in charge of the field 
work of the expedition, has written of 
the capture of this Christmas Island fish 
as follows : 
“A w'hite rag tied around a heavy hook 
and trailed at the end of a long line se- 
cured for us a fine fish near Christmas 
Island, and this when cooked proved bet- 
ter eating than the bonitas which were 
often caught on shell hooks by the sail-
