FOREST AND STREAM

the largest fish caught during our stay 
was taken by that boy on that rod. 
Under stress of anxiety to make sure 
of the capture, the fish was “hossed out” 
with consequent strain on the rod, which 
of course was not improved by such 
treatment. But with a little judicious 
coaxing it was soon as serviceable as 
ever. Such tackle requires that the 
fish be killed on the rod and then netted. 
L ACK of acquaintance with the 
“holes” in which the trout lurked 
at first prevented what success I 
might otherwise have had. These lay 
scattered, strung out along through 
the tangle, and were often come upon 
unexpectedly — a procedure likely to 
frighten thoroughly any fish there. 
The first brown trout was taken in 
swift water just below a fall about a 
foot in height. A round dozen casts 
were required to secure the rise. The 
fish fought gamely, and was sufficiently 
large to cause the “buckle” already men- 
tioned. The theory of a fairly large 
number of casts to simulate a hatch 
seemed to be borne out here. But in 
other cases it was not. What seemed 
to be of more importance was that the 
fly should be of an acceptable variety. 
As on the second day I had been in- 
judicious enough to start off without 
taking a lunch, I fished the remainder 
of the stretch up to camp rather hur- 
riedly. One noticeable incident oc- 
curred on the trip up. A cast of the 
small March Brown brought a brown 
trout of about fifteen inches from under 
a log. The fish followed down along 
with the fly for about three or four feet. 
The whole affair was characterized by a 
certain deliberateness not usually asso- 
ciated with trout. This was one of the 
few opportunities I have had to study 
this shy species at close range, — about 
ten feet in this instance. 
A smaller trout went through the 
same performance the next day at the 
same place. This action would seem to 
indicate that the kind of fly was the 
cause of the failure to take the lure. 
Yet several changes brought no better 
results, the fish not even coming out to 
investigate. At later times the same 
peculiarity appeared. If the lure first 
presented and examined was not at- 
tractive enough to provoke a rise, no 
further variety presented seemed to 
arouse enough curiosity. 
As the result of the accident to my 
three-ounce rod, I had the melancholy 
opportunity of comparing a cane rod 
both in and out of condition. The first 
intimation that something had gone 
wrong I attributed to my having sud- 
denly gone “off form”. A handling of 
the rod that had but recently cast the 
fly lightly and accurately now seemed 
insufficient. The fly did not shoot out 
and drop as lightly. Believing the rod 
to be in good condition, I attributed the 
result to my own carelessness. So I 
put more power into the cast, and at 
first with improved results. But the 
action of the rod in playing the 
“brownie” opened my eyes. The buckle 
and sidewise bend showed the true na- 
ture of the fault.
