FIGHTING TACTICS O 
TROUT AND BASS 
(continued from page 477) 
places when its results are scarcely pi 
ceptible; and then sentiment or vanity 
prejudice against the minnow ought not 
prevail, and rarely does. 
It is a certainty that to place the minne 
on the water and manipulate it propel 
requires all the adroitness, experience a 
circumspection the fly-fisherman employs 
presenting his lures, and the same caret 
attention in bringing the fish to creel; a 
my own observation induces the belief tl 
half of fly-fishing approximates very closi 
to bait-fishing, with the fly as bait; and 
to my individual efforts along that line 
confess there is little question regarding 
In bait-fishing with light tackle, as ca. 
ful handling is required as with the 1: 
and is attended with the same delight 
uncertainty*; and we haven’t a superabt 
dance of patience with those who de( 
the minnow and applaud the fly whetl 
or no. Invariably, like the great major 
of anglers, we accord preference to the : 
and can hardly imagine a hook wear! 
plebeian worms, though they be moist a 
corpulent, when feathers are fashional 
and attractive; but immediately upon l 
coming convinced that they are not want' 
we have no hesitancy in substituting b 
and being thankful that there is such 
substitute. 
If intent on outgeneraling reluctant fi 
you must needs be catholic in your me 
ods, and the greatest enjoyment lies 
solving the problem. It puts one on ’ 
mettle, according more delight in the ul 
mate victory; and the true value of angli 
as a pastime may be appraised by the c 
tacles it overcomes. If one could ac< 
rately foretell the happenings on a tre 
stream, there would bp missing many of 
allurements. 
We have frequently observed -that 1 
most enthusiastic and opinionated fly-fi: 
ermen—those who consider themselves 1 
genuine article in piscatorial sportsmansl 
who preach thistledown, snowflakes, si 
beams and other trifles, will, when occas: 
warrants, throw sentiment and system 
the breezes, forsake their idols, and res 
to the crawfish, the old barnyard had 
the minnow, or any other alternative w 
the intense zeal of the inveterate dyed- 
the-wool bait-fisherman. 
When the fly is impracticable, there m 
be no hesitancy in resorting to other k 
ful expedients. The sterling high-mim 
angler will not lose caste by so doing, a 
he owes as much to his prospective victi 
for one can heartily agree with Nessm 
“when a plump two-pound trout refuse 
tinseled, feathered fraud, I am not the n 
to withhold from him something m 
edible”; and will accord him ample cr< 
for understanding the cravings of his o 
stomach. Results such as having fr 
fish for supper are of infinitely grea 
importance than implements—if we 
not caught at it. 
Be not bound by precedent or tradit 
when you go a-fishing; only play fair, 
is a much threshed-out subject, witl 
lively chorus of contradictions and di\ 
gent opinions; and while as difficult 
satisfactory solution as the mooted quest
