HOW TO TROLL FOR LAND LOCKED 
SALMON. 
Editor Forest and Stream: • 
Is there any method of deep water fish¬ 
ing for land-locked salmon? I am not a 
fly fisherman, and anyway I don t get away 
during the fly fishing season. Amateur. 
We submitted this question to one of the 
highest authorities on the subject, and al¬ 
though he is a devoted and ardent disciple 
of the silken sleave and tinsel, he was 
good enough to give the following answer. 
“Two methods of fishing for land-locked 
salmon are practiced. One is bait fishing; 
the other trolling. The latter is the more 
sportsmanlike, and the usual method in this 
case is by using a long line with a weight 
attached, sufficient to sink it almost to the 
bottom of the lake. Some six feet above 
the weight a short line is fastened con¬ 
taining a hook upon which a dead minnow 
is strung. Sometimes a small spoon is 
used with good effect, and at others, a 
phantom minnow is used. The line is 
trolled behind a slowly propelled boat or 
canoe, and the length of line is increased 
as well as the weight of the sinker, to 
correspond with the greater depth of the 
water. In the warm months of summer 
the bait should be trolled within a few 
feet of the bottom of the lake. In the 
early spring as soon as the ice has dis¬ 
appeared, and for some time afterwards 
the troll is often effective within a few 
feet of the surface of the water. In small 
bodies of water, spinning and casting the 
bait with rod and line often afford great 
sport. In still deep water fishing from an 
anchored boat, a live minnow is the best 
bait.”

DR. TARLETON BEAN—AN APPRE¬ 
CIATION. 
Editor of Forest and Stream: 
Readers of this magazine will learn 
with regret of the death of Tarleton 
H. Bean^ N. Y. State fish culturist. 
Dr. Bean’s wide scientific knowledge 
and worth has never been properly ap¬ 
preciated by Washington officials. Other 
-people with more political sagacity than 
scientific attainments have more than 
once supplanted him in high offices of the 
department he should have been in con¬ 
trol of. After a personal friendship of 
over 25 years I can at least express deep 
regret at his loss. Much more worthy 
tribute will surely be paid to this dis¬ 
tinguished scientist than I am capable of 
doing. It would be impossible to mention 
even a part of the many honors bestowed 
on him both here and abroad for the va¬ 
ried work he has done from Alaska to 
Key West.

LONG ISLAND CASTING CLUB. 
Will you kindly announce in the Febru¬ 
ary issue that the location of the Long 
Island Casting Club’s winter surf casting 
tournament has been changed from the 
Grant City, Staten Island, grounds to the 
field of the Crescent Athletic Club at 85th 
Street, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn? The change 
gives the assurance of ideal courts, the 
field being some 700 by 1,200 feet, and more 
accessible than the Staten Island grounds.

HOW TO MAKE A COMPASS OUT OF 
A WATCH. 
Will you kindly inform me how a watch 
(time piece) may be used as a compass? 
Have read the same information in your 
paper some time since but have forgotten. 
To find the south, at any time of the 
day by the sun—hold your watch flat, face 
upward, so that the sun shines upon it. 
Turn it around until the hour hand points 
at the sun, then, without moving the watch, 
lay the edge of a piece of paper or a pencil 
across the face of the watch so that it rests 
on the center of the dial and points out 
half way between the figure XII and the 
hour hand. The line given by the pencil 
will be the north and south line.—Ed.]

THINGS FOR THE LIVE SPORTSMAN 
AND GOOD CITIZEN. 
Editor Forest and Stream *: 
There are several matters which should 
engage the attention of the live sportsman 
and good citizen just now. One is to back 
up the Hitchcock Bill in the Senate which 
proposes an appropriation of $170,000 to 
carry out the terms of the convention be¬ 
tween the United States and Great Britain 
(Dominion of Canada) for the protection 
of migratory birds. This is really the en¬ 
abling act, which will put the treaty into 
force, and if sportsmen do not write their 
representatives in Washington about it, it 
is liable to get sidetracked this season. 
Another matter which concerns the New 
York sportsmen more than others is to fight 
to the death the bill before the New York 
Legislature which would repeal the Buck 
law, that has added so much to the game 
resources of the State. If you don t be¬ 
lieve in buck law, just read the experience 
of Connecticut, where a piece of fool legis¬ 
lation has exterminated all the deer in the 
State. 
A third matter, and one that should be 
encouraged both because of common-sense 
and sentiment, is a bill which may come 
before the New York Legislature putting 
a short closed season on the black bear 
and stopping the barbarous custom of tak¬ 
ing him in traps. Heaven knows, there are 
enough other things to watch just now, but 
the three mentioned are obviously important.
