SCIENTIFIC ANGLERS MEET AT NEWARK. 
Editor Angling Department: I understand 
that the National Association of Scientific Angl¬ 
ing Clubs will hold their 1916 tournament in the 
east. Can you tell me where and on what dates? 
F. C. M., Daytona, Fla. 
The 1916 tournament will be held this year in 
Newark, N. J., under the auspices of the Newark 
Fly and Bait Casting Club, on August 23, 24, 25 
and 26, from their platform in Weequahic Park 
lake. 
ANTI-BACK LASH REELS. 
Editor Angling Department: Are anti-back 
lash reels reliable, and as good as the casting 
reels without the anti-back lash attachment? 
J. L., Ridgewood, L. I. 
Such reels are especially good for night cast¬ 
ing, and for the angler who does not have much 
time to spend at the art. They are considered 
reliable. 
WADING FOR BLACK BASS. 
When casting with a bait rod from a boat, or 
at long distance while wading, either microp- 
terus or his big mouth relative is a pugnacious 
individual at times apparently devoid of fear of 
man. At least we conclude this from his delib¬ 
erate rushes at the bait. But, when you go to 
wading streams for them, you will find them just 
as wary, and possibly a trifle more susceptible 
to outside disturbances than trout. The slight¬ 
est muddying of the water will run them to their 
crypts. If you really want to test their sensi¬ 
tiveness to extraneous influences, just try dry 
fly casting while wading upstream dry fly water. 
Naturally black bass will not be found in abun¬ 
dance in dry fly water, but when they are found 
there and the water is wadable, just see how dif¬ 
ficult it is to approach them. The first step 
you make upstream in the pool, they come rush¬ 
ing by you with alarming speed, and your most 
delicate efforts go for naught. In fast water it 
is different. There the little warriors seem to 
revel in combativeness, and put aside their no¬ 
tions of aloofness toward man.

BASS AND SALMON FLIES. 
More attention should be given to tying bass 
flies. There is a healthy demand for such a 
product. The tiers at present see not much of a 
line of demarcation between the heavy affairs 
for bait casting, and those that should conform 
every way to the light fly rod. Creations so far 
have been limited to large hooks, and patterns 
that resemble no fly upon which bass feed. All 
bass flies, or at least the majority of them, are 
merely enlarged duplicates of trout patterns. It 
would pay tiers of bass flies to visit the streams 
and observe what the bass chiefly feed on in the 
way of insects. They would discover that the 
willow flies and others so ravenously seized by 
bass, correspond only occasionally in pattern and 
size with what the market provides. Even the 
salmon fly tier, though he has no knowledge of 
the requirements of bass fishing, has produced 
patterns that are well adapted to bass streams. 
This is the explanation of the recent vogue of 
salmon flies among bass fishermen. 
WASTED POWDER. 
A man who never before had been duck hunt¬ 
ing shot at a duck in the air. 
‘<Gee!” exclaimed the amateur’s friend, “you 
got him.” 
“Yes,” returned the amateur, “but I might as 
well have saved my ammunition—the fall would 
have killed him anyway .”—New York Globe.
