I put on a green plug and cast into 
the inky depths which reflected my in- 
verted image. I found it a delightful 
way to fish, as I could cast over the tops 
of small bushes that lined the bank, in 
fact I fished localities it was impossible 
to reach while on foot. Finally a strike 
rewarded my efforts and Henry dis- 
mounted, helping me to land a four- 
pounder. 
We fished the river thoroughly, and 
then tried out the more open canals that ' 
extended into the West as far as the 
eye could reach. “Too bad they are not 
biting today,” said Henry, as we only I 
got three more fish. “Will have to try - 
it again,” he continued. | 
We did, also fishing other localities, 
thus proving this method to be the safest 
and less tiring way to cover snake-in- 
fested, inaccessible places along the 
miles and miles of rivers and canals of 
Eastern Florida. 
You may ask, “What is the object of 
fishing such places, or what reward 
awaits the fisherman who takes such a 
trip ?” 
Well! I’ll tell you. I have taken 
large-mouth black bass up to fourteen 
pounds in these waters, have hooked 
many larger, have seen one caught that 
weighed nineteen pounds, and w'as told 
of one that weighed twenty-six ; so I am 
after a twenty-six pounder, just to prove 
the other fellow wasn’t a liar. There is 
a lot of hunting done on horseback. 
Why not go a-fishing the same way? 
THE GREATEST LITTLE 
GAME BIRD

gether. Their erect forms seeming to 
glide over the ground without the slight- 
est movement, but once they decide to 
fly, then they are the fastest short dis- 
tance travelers that have feathers.. No 
bird can equal them in making a quick 
“getaway” from “the scratch.” 
The notes are many and varied, but 
from the writer’s viewpoint, to describe 
a bird note in writing, words or scale is 
not possible. There is hardly a work 
including the best on North American 
birds in which the authors have not at- 
tempted to write down the sound of all 
manner of bird notes, and the quail has 
been cawed, cooed, quacked and whistled 
in dozens of different interpretations. 
My introduction to the call note of the 
Bob-White is a good example of the 
fallacy of naming a bird note in writing. 
The clear, three-note whistle came to me 
from a wood along a Colorado stream. 
At first I thought it was an olive-sided 
flycatcher, but "the locality forced me to 
eliminate that bird ; with some deduction 
I finally reduced it to the Bob-White, 
but not because of any description I had 
ever read of that quail’s note. Had I 
been a layman instead of an experienced 
ornithologist I should have as readily 
named it Little Bo-Peep as “Oh, Bob- 
White,” for all that the note signified. 
So, to you who have yet to hear the 
call of a g^lifornia quail I will simply 
describe it as a clear, far-reaching voice 
of a bird — ,soprano in quality — of three
