AUTUMN FISHING FOF 
THE PIKES I

proach from the lake and will use th| 
spoon with care, striving to make eac I 
cast count, with as little disturbance a| 
possible, one may make that “one beeJ 
catch’’ the French-Canadian guides tal l 
about in the summer season. 1 
On bright days after eight o’clock iJ 
is quite useless to fish inshore, eithel 
casting or trolling. But one may trol 
off of sandbars straight out from peninn 
sulas and find pike there any time frond 
eight in the morning to four in the after! 
noon. Other good places to try for therH 
are in the deep channels between island^ 
and off of rocky reefs and submerge<| 
islands that show patches of reeds. ~ 
There is a method of combining still] 
fishing with pike fishing that is so uniqu' : 
that I would like to give it here. I beq 
lieve the method will appear here for th'ii 
first time in print and is the result o(l 
much study and has proved satisfactory 
in practice. God forbid that I boast, bu I 
I think the deduction is my most proJ 
found discovery. | 
It was a matter of mystery to me fo I 
a long time that while engaged in still 
fishing off a point along which man4 
varieties of fish such as sunfish, crop 
pies, perch and others could be caught— i 
why, all of a sudden these fish, pre 
viously active and at the hook even- 
minute or so, would suddenly disappea;! 
and for a long time thereafter would b<r 
as absent as though they had been swal 
lowed up in a great void. Some times 
too, the fishing for the day would bn 
over, for no fish would bite. One day 
on an occasion such as this, a lone sun 
fish took the hook and upon being pulle( 
to the surface was followed by a pik<; 
that must have weighed a pretty figun ' 
indeed. Upon seeing the boat he dis l 
appeared with a splash that, figuratively'] 
lifted the hat on my head. But that fisl i 
solved the puzzle. 
When suddenly the sunfish, perch, etc. 
“fade away” and are no more in tin 
vicinity for that day, it marks the timo 
when some mighty fish came along t< 
see why so many of them were congre’ 
gated around a certain point. Probably’ 
at such a time many little fish lose thei 
lives by reason of inattention to what i 
going on : the rest swim as never beforiii 
to get out of the way. If the still-fishejj 
now has a line ready and a few lively* 
perch in a pail running in length fron 
four to five inches he may hook one oi| 
and drop it down and almost be assuret 
of a catch. Often five or six pike may: 
be caught, one after another in thi 
manner. It is a sort of two in one fish 
ing, the angler being forewarned wha I 
to expect. So suddenly do the small fisl 
disappear that there is no doubt abon 
what is up. Nor is it necessary to use ; ■ 
live fish for a lure. Take a large hool 
about an inch across the bend, that is ti 
say an inch across from point to shank— 
a hook of very durable material — and at 
tach thereto a three or four-inch deac | 
sunfish, hooking it through the back, am j 
drop it down. Pull it up and down am I 
give it some fanciful twitches and be pre :
