A twist of the handle instantly reverses the pro- 
peller — 'from “full speed ahead" you at once 
move backward. Quicker than you could do it with 
oars. This flexibility is one of many features of the

THE ELEMENTS OF 
TROUT FISHING 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 343) 
act on it, producing a rippling motion 
to it that gives it an apparent lifelike- 
ness. 
This, I firmly believe, is why the trout 
like it. You get your finest trout on this 
lure. I did not pick this up out of a 
book, nor did anyone give it to me. I 
figured simply that if pork rind is so 
excellent for bass why not for trout. 
I experimented first with quite a thick 
strip. Later I struck upon using a thin 
strip and found that it quivered, with 
undulating motion in the water. Right 
there I solved something that I have not 
till now given out to print. 
F or all my trout fishing, one form or 
another, I use the automatic reel. 
I found the single-action reel limited, 
in not being able to take in the line fast 
enough when it accumulated. I thus lost 
many good trout. The automatic solved 
the problem. Immediately the trout is 
on, one takes in line and, carefully watch- 
ing the fight, presses ^he trigger. The 
spool revolves and instantly eats up the 
slack. 
The automatic is so convenient, so ut- 
terly reliable that I would be lost now 
without it. In most all articles, and 
books on trout fishing it has been said 
that the reel merely serves to hold the 
line. This is untrue. When slack occurs 
you have to take it up, and as between 
the old form, and the automatic form I 
give the palm to the latter appliance. 
However, one automatic is in use where 
five single action reels are a part of an 
angler’s paraphenalia. 
In the question of leaders I will say 
that I no longer use the common gut 
variety. I use the Telerana Nova ex- 
clusively. I would not be without it; it 
is one of the most ingenious of modem 
tackle inventions, and for durability, in- 
visibility in the water and any number of 
other points, it far excells. 
The six-foot length is the best. I have 
no time for the nine-foot leader. I see 
no reason for it. 
For a line, the tapered-enameled one 
is the best on all points. This is not 
to say that the level-calibered line, is not 
also good, but the tapered line is far 
the better. It forms a more inconspicu- 
ous meeting with the leader; and by the 
use of it you improve your casting. Its 
strength is of a good order, and w’ith 
care in attending to it, will last a long 
time. In the matter of the net it should 
be of the collapsible form, easily set up
