T HE next half day you have—or bet¬ 
ter still the next free evening—have 
the wife give you an early supper. 
Take out the little short casting rod, or, if 
you prefer, the longer more flexible bait 
rod. Put a couple or ordinary kidney¬ 
shaped trolling spoons in your pocket, and 
if you are fortunate enough to have on 
hand live bait, put a few of these in a 
Mason'jar and slip that into y'our pocket 
as well. Now let us walk to the nearest 
point on the creek or river or pond as the 
case may be. 
Man)', or all, of the humming noisy 
mills are closed down for the night. The 
factories are empty, and the familiar 
stream even here in the heart of the town 
has an unfamiliar deserted appearance. 
Qne could almost imagine it .were not the 
village stream, so different it appears when 
viewed at an unaccustomed hour, envel¬ 
oped in the early evening quiet. Just here 
a moss covered slime stained boulder lifts 
its head in mid current. 
Now for discovery. 
String up the rod of your choice, and 
attach to your line the first spoon that 
comes to hand from your pocket.—This is 
a voyage of discovery, and the first at 
hand may well prove to he the best.— 
Now cast it well out, beyond and just 
above the break of water at the head of 
the rock and let the current swing it down, 
spinning, until it tugs at your rod far down 
the stream. Now reel in slowly and cast 
again. If there is “nothing doing,” and 
you are provided with live minnows, slip 
off the spoon and hitch on a hook and try 
the same expedient with the minnow. 
H ELLO—snagged?—minnow gone? 
Ah-ha! I told you so. Fished 
out, is it ? What do you think about 
it now? It took a stranger who had never 
even seen your town or met you to tell you 
the trick, didn’t it? Well, you never can 
tell and I won’t crow too loud. I’ll even 
make a confession—in strict confidence— 
I only commenced “discovering” last sea¬ 
son myself. 
Many a time I have arisen early in the 
morning (my wife calls it late at night), 
eaten a hasty breakfast, cranked up the 
car and ridden many a dustv mile that T
