SOME METHODS OF 
WEIGHT CASTING 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 640) 
length of the rubber consequently equal- 
ling the length of the pole, the line may 
be lengthened due to the resiliency of the 
rubber loop by the length of the pole, as- 
suming that rubber may be stretched to 
double its normal length. 
r T’’ EN. Rubber is also utilized in a mod- 
i’ ideation of the rigging described 
under paragraph 5. The tail-end of the 
line is rubber extending from a point sev- 
eral feet above the butt-end to several 
inches outside the tip-guide. 
The line goes through a ring which is 
placed at the tip of the pole. The end of 
the line is fastened to a piece of silk- 
covered rubber, which is about three feet 
long. The bottom end of the rubber cord 
is lashed to the middle of the pole. Thus, 
when a strain is put on the line the rub- 
ber cord stretches out quite a distance. 
E LEVEN. A method resembling surf- 
casting is practised by shore-fisher- 
men along the seacoast in France, Por- 
tugal, Spain and on islands ih the Medi- 
terranean. No reels are used. The 
poles, mostly saplings with a natural 
fork at the tip are 8 to 10 feet long. 
The line, which is anchored to a heavy 
object, lies coiled upon the ground. The 
tackle-end is heavy, occasionally up to 
nearly one pound. Several feet of it are 
hung over the fork; the pole is manipu- 
lated like a regular surfcasting-rod. Dur- 
ing the “sweep” the line is held in one 
hand to be released at the end of the 
forward sweep. 
Casts average 200 feet but frequently 
longer casts are made. In fact, were it 
not for the clumsy poles, the cast dis- 
tances should be longer than those which 
may be made with the regular surfeast- 
ir.g-rods, due to the absence of any fric- 
tional retardation. 
While all the aforementioned methods 
have their merits the sportsman resorts 
nearly exclusively to the use of rod and 
reel to deliver his tackle. He shuns the 
primitive manner of casting rather out 
of pity than contempt. And if he be a 
true angler it is certain that he would 
like to send to his brother anglers, less 
favored in the possession of the most 
perfect tackle, fishing outfits that would 
make them forget at times the misery of 
every day life.

account of rain. Of course this does not 
take into account the eight days spent in 
traveling from Telegraph Creek to the 
hunting grounds. 
I recorded the temperature each 
morning and evening about seven 
o’clock. Between August twenty-fifth 
and September sixteenth it ranged, at 
that hour in the morning, from 26° to 
53°. The average was 35°. At evening 
it was much warmer and mid-day hot.
