FOREST & STREAM (Book Dept.) 
9 East 40th Street, New York City 
A gentleman I once fished with used a, 
large spoon-hook, size 12, with feathers 1 
to the burr. To this he hooked a frog, i 
well over medium size, and he caught one | 
musky of 15 and one of 18 pounds be-! 
sides many small ones under 30 inches' 
that had to be put back in the water, be-j 
ing under the limit size. Ordinarily,] 
however, they are not acquired with such 
ease, especially in waters that are well, 
fished. 
I do not think that any lure can equal; 
the spoon-hook for muscallonge, and the 
nickel-plated type is the best in the long 
run. The way G. M. Skinner had it 
figured out years ago was that a spoon 
was needed for deep trolling for mus- 
callonge, and so he set about producing 
a coloration different from the ordinary, 
brand of copper, bronze, gold, nickel and 
silver. The result was a white enameled 
spoon, baked on by a special process and 
which would resist “wear and tear.” 
This came in the No. 12 size. I can’t 
say that I like it better, nor have I 
had more success with it than the nickel- 
plated production. 
For ordinary trolling in the autumn 
the lure should be run a foot to three 
feet below surface and the size should 
not be over 5 or 6; indeed many a fine 
fellow has committed hara-kiri by snap- 
ping a wee with a few trailing 
strands of red yarn fixed to the gang. 
You may feel a desire to. sally forth 
rigged out with light tackle, spurred oni 
by the noble and immortal deeds of the 
Cavaliers of Catalina. That’s all w'ell 
and good. I admire you for your reck- 
less abandon, but there is a lake where 
I am going this autumn when the north 
is like a dream of shadow and light, 
and I aim to hook into a “musky” there 
that will have more than a cotton thread 
to contend with. I don’t mean to tether 
him out with a cable, but I mean that 
it’s going to test at least 25 lbs., and 
the line is going to be a new one at that !

{Continued from page 444) 
widest shot from a full choke pattern or 
else are practically blown to pieces by 
being centered. 
The more open patterns throw plenty 
of shot wide enough to make clean kills 
on the poorly aimed shots and at the 
same time they make clean kills on per- 
fect holds without smashing the birds. 
At 35 to 50 yards the improved c}4inder 
patterns will let down cripples occa- 
sionally with any load — even when well 
centered, but still very few quail and not 
a particularly high percentage of grouse 
are shot at these ranges. For every one 
that is, three or four others are hashed 
or missed at 10 to 20 yards.
