FISHING FOR THE PIKES 
IN AUTUMN 
( Continued from page 495) 
the best lure that you can possibly use 
in fishing for the three principal mem- 
bers of the pike family. At first blush 
it would seem that the larger the lure the 
larger the fish caught, but it is an erron- 
eous impression, although I am impelled 
to state that I have heard many anglers 
give this advice. Hence you will find 
men trolling with such sizeable spoons 
as Number 12, and in low water at that. 
Of course where one trolls deep one 
needs a big spoon, since it throws far 
more of a glitter than a small one. But 
for ordinary low water trolling the small 
spoon is by far the best. 
How small, you will ask? Well, per- 
sonally, I know of a 40-lb. muskallunge 
caught some years ago on a Number 3 
spoon with some three-inch trailers of 
red yarn tied to the hook. I have never 
caught such monsters on small spoons, 
but I have caught several ten and twelve 
pounders on that size. Remember that 
the fish take this spoon to be a minnow 
of some sort. That being the case the 
small spoon seems more life-size. 
I have spoken of the efficacy of trail- 
ers of red yarn tied to the hook, or one 
of the hooks of the gang. Three or 
four of these are about right, and let 
them stand out at least three inches in 
back. It is their undulating, wavering 
movement in the water that so excites the 
curiosity of the fish that he strikes. Two 
trailers of red flannel can be used if de- 
sired in place of the yarns. Let them be 
three inches in length, one-half inch wide 
and taper to points. Hook one on each 
of two hooks of the gang. 
In hot weather (in the summer) the 
members of the pike family are apt to 
be in deep water. In the autumn they 
are moving around in the shallower 
water. Hence use a smaller spoon as 1 
have stated. In my own experience in 
this tempting branch of fishing I have 
found that the all-around size of spoon is 
the Number 5 — and if it has flutings, or 
raised ridges on the sides so much the 
better, for such a spoon throws a far bet- 
ter glitter than the smooth one. 
The so-called wobbling or darting 
spoons — examples of old-time spoons — 
are still on the market. This type of 
spoon, by the way, is the progenitor of 
all the spoon family. It was the spoon 
invented by young Buell many years ago. 
He filed the stem off of a thin silver 
spoon and to the bowl soldered on a 
single hook; then boring a hole at the 
tapering end he added a swivel to pre- 
vent the line from kinking — and thus 
was founded the wobbling spoon. When 
reeled in the water this spoon (unlike the 
standard regulation spoon which revolves 
one way on a shaft) takes to darting this 
way and that, giving every evidence ot 
being a disabled young fish trying to 
make its way through the water. 
To-day the wobbling or darting spoons • 
are as successful as ever though they 
have well-nigh been forgotten in the on- 
rush of later-day productions. If you 
should add a couple of these to your out- 
fit for your fall fishing for the members
