‘Binocular, at a SpecialPrice 
Y OU sportsmen will derive endless pleasure from binoculars while 
motoring, hiking, hunting, boating — at races — or your summer home. 
Every real outdoor lover should have a pair. 
But choose wisely. Beware of inferior makes. Binoculars are chosen for 
a lifetime of service. Get a dependable pair. Navarre Binoculars are fully 
guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction. 
The Most Highly Developed Instrument 
The Navarre is distinguished from every other binocular manufactured, by 
its high quality genuine GRAF LENSES and by its bi'ass construction. 
It is not the aluminum-frame instrument commonly found on the market 
today. Oxides of aluminum “cloud” lenses in two or three years. Oxides 
of brass have no effect on glass. 
The Navarre is the product of master craftsmen and is fully guaranteed. With its 
beautiful satin finish and its heavy leather, velvet-lined case and long straps, you 
will have an outfit that will attract attention wherever you go.

MISSISSIPPI WATERS 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 393 ) 
I have mentioned that I prefer to use 
the Yellow Sally and the Fischer as 
flies (with spinners), for the small- 
mouths. I would never go back on that 
assertion. And of these two if I were 
to make a final choice I would say : 
“Give me the Yellow Sally.” I have used 
the Sally fly-casting up to the rocky 
shores so late that I could hardly see 
my fly drop to brim and have caught 
bass on it. The light yellow color no 
doubt shows up in the water and the 
bass can note it moving. 
One of my largest bass, caught on 
the St. Croix on the Minnesota side, 
was struck when darkness very nearly 
held down the stage, and it took fifteen 
minutes to subdue the fellow. I have 
come to believe that the best time to 
go out for small-mouths is from the 
time the dusk first begins to appear, un- 
til very nearly dark. However, the 
small-mouths, like the large-mouths, 
continue feeding into the night hours. 
If, when it is too dark to see one will 
use a casting rod and a glowing arti- 
ficial minnow he will, on occasions, have 
exceedingly good sport. 
In actual fishing, the St. Croix waters 
are circumvented with ease in compari- 
son with the waters of the Mississippi. 
There the water is swift-flowing and it 
is well-nigh impossible to make any 
headway rowing against it. On the 
Mississippi, in the region made famous 
by Will Dilg’s writings, practically the 
only way to get about when fishing 
those waters is to have a motor boat 
pull you up to where you wish to start 
and then float down and fish as you go. 
To row back up is well-nigh impossible 
so strong is the current. 
On the St. Croix it is different. The 
river being broad, forming what may 
be called a lake, the current is lost. 
The water apparently does not flow at 
all. As a result one can row upstream 
along the shore without much trouble. 
As there is no current to sweep the 
boat along, one does not pass a spot so 
fast but that he can make a cast into 
every suitable pocket. 
The fascination of casting along the 
St. Croix shores will never be forgotten 
if once tried. Usually one man rows 
the boat and another casts, aiming to 
place his fly at every likely point. The 
boat is rowed a distance of thirty to 
fifty feet from shore and the fly and 
spinner is often placed so close to shore 
that it nearly scrapes dry land. If I 
make the assertion that I have caught 
small-mouths so close to shore that their 
backs were nearly out of water it is 
something I can prove. 
I T is during the evening hours that the 
bass appear to come out of the deep 
water to course along the shores 
and grub among the rocks and sub- 
merged boulders to pull out reluctant 
crabs and nab sprightly helgramite, the 
larvae of the dobson fly. 
Keep your eye alert. Move along 
with as much ease as possible. Present-
