Casting Made Easy 
That’s what this reel does—it makes casting 
easy for the beginner and easier for the Veteran Angler. 
The South Bend Anti-Back-Lash Reel 
This reel eliminates the back-lash and reduces casting: 
to a simple operation of handling: the rod. It enables the 
beginner to learn to cast with credible accuracy in a few 
moments’ practice. On the other hand, seasoned Anglers use it on 
account of its free-running, ease of operation and good-wearing 
qualities. The reel is a two-in-one proposition, permitting of using 
it with or without the Anti-Back-Lash device. In addition 
to this, experienced casters find the Anti-Back-Lash feature an 
advantage when fishing at night. The beginner should by all 
means try the Anti-Back-Lash Reel first; 
experienced Anglers should also give it 
a trial and learn its advantages.

SALMON AND SHAD—FRESH OR SALT 
WATER FISH? 
Editor Angling Department: In a discussion 
as to the proper classing of salmon and shad, 
I claim that among fishermen they are known as 
fresh water fish. My friend insists they are 
salt water fish, as they go to the sea. Who is 
correct? 
W. H. C., Chicago, Ill. 
Forest and Stream, to secure a scientifically 
accurate reply to this question, submitted it to 
Charles H. Townsend, director of the New York 
Aquarium. His reply follows: 
“They should be considered as sea fishes, as 
their habitat is chiefly in salt water. They visit 
fresh water for limited periods, and only for 
the purpose of spawning. Fishes like the shad, 
salmon, sturgeon, striped bass, etc., which enter 
fresh water to spawn, are called anadromus.

HOW THE LAFAYETTE WAS NAMED. 
Editor Angling Department: Can you tell me 
how the fish called “Lafayette” received its name? 
J. T. R„ Alfred, N. Y. 
According to Louis Rhead, the name “Lafay¬ 
ette” was given to this fish by fishermen around 
New York, on account of its reappearance in 
large numbers in the region coincident with the 
arrival of Lafayette in this country in 1824. 
WHERE THE FLOUNDER IS CAUGHT. 
Editor Angling Department: I would like to 
know something about the flounder: where he 
is caught, what kind of bait and hooks to use 
for him, and if flounders are now being caught. 
A. E. K„ Brooklyn, N. Y. 
Flounders are now being caught in all waters 
adjacent to your city. Try any of the fishing 
stations along Jamaica Bay. Flounders are a 
bottom feeding fish and will be found in the 
mud. Use small hooks placing them near the 
sinker, three hooks are frequently used. Favorite 
baits for flounders are clams, mussels and sand 
worms. 
PICKEREL NEAR NEW YORK. 
Editor Angling Department: 
'Will you kindly advise me where one can go 
fishing for pickerel or pike near New York City? 
I have been told that the query department of 
your magazine would be able to furnish me with 
this information. 
T. H. P., Brooklyn, N. Y. 
Try any of the following places; you should 
meet with fair luck at any one of them: Green¬ 
wood Lake (upper end), Lake Hopatcong and 
also along the upper Passaic River; start from 
Pine Brook, a few miles west of Montclair. 
These places are in New Jersey, and you will 
require a non-resident’s fishing license—cost 
$2.15. In New York try Rye Lake, three and one- 
half miles outside of White Plains; Lake Carmel, 
50 miles on the Putnam Division, N. Y. C. R. R.; 
Croton Lake, 30 miles on the same road, also Val¬ 
ley Stream, Rockville Center, Baldwins (two 
ponds) and Freeport, on Long Island.
