AMERICAN 
GAME BIRD 
SHOOTING 
By George Bird Grinnell 
This large and profusely illustrated 
volume covers the whole field of upland 
shooting in America. It deals with the 
birds followed by the upland shooter with 
dog and gun, and gives practically every¬ 
thing that is known about the woodcock, 
the snipe, all the North American quail, 
grouse and wild turkeys. This is its 
scheme: * 
Part 1—Life histories of upland game 
birds; many portraits. 
Part II—Upland shooting, and also 
guns, loads, dogs, clothing. 
Pajt III—Shooting of the future, 
ruffed grouse, quail, etc. 
There are life-like colored plates of 
the ruffed grouse and quail, and 48 other 
full-page plates, with many line cuts in 
the text. 
The book is really the last word on 
upland shooting, and this is what some 
of the authorities think of it; 
•'It is, I think, a model of what such 
a book should be—but so seldom is. It 
is, indeed, much more than a treatise on 
field sports, for It furnishes such full and 
excellent life histories of the birds of 
which it treats tnat it should find a place 
in every library devoted to pure ornith¬ 
ology."—William Brewster, Cambridge, 
Mass. 
"A very complete monograph for sports¬ 
men and naturalists . . , with ancedotes. 
of his own and others . . . The book will 
be enjoyed not only by sportsmen,_ but by 
the general reader."—Sun, New York. 
"An Important, thoroughly reliable and 
well written book; a work that will be 
read with interest and pleasure by sports¬ 
men. The work is the first complete one 
of its kind."—Boston Globe. 
"This volume is especially welcome—a 
treat to every man who loves to tramp the 
uplands with dog and gun.”—Inter-Ocean, 
Chicago. . 
This book is a companion volume to 
American Duck Shooting, and the two 
cover practically the whole subject of 
field shooting with the shotgun in North 
America.

ANGLING FOR ADIRON¬ 
DACK FROSTFISH 
(continued from page 592 ) 
ten inches long, but some of a larger size 
are caught up to fifteen inches or so. 
While these fish lack the fiercer bite of the 
laker, yet, weight for weight, they put up 
a much stiffer fight, before they are boated. 
Were it possible—as it apparently Is not— 
to use a light rod in their capture, they 
might match fontinalis itself in fighting 
spirit. Evidently a slender rod would bend 
so much in striking through so great a 
depth of water, that insufficient force 
would be exerted to fasten the hook well; 
while a stiffer rod, such as may be used 
in catching lake trout, would strike so 
sharply as to tear out the hook. A deli¬ 
cate sense of perception is required also, 
in .catching this fish. Hold your line, so 
that it passes over the ball of the fore¬ 
finger, just on the pulse. An ordinarily 
almost imperceptible twitch then becomes 
quite easily discerned; and the stronger, 
more continuous pull, which is the signal . 
to get busy and haul up, is readily distin¬ 
guished. 
I CONSIDER this about the most deli¬ 
cate and fairy-like creature .that the 
angler ordinarily becomes acquainted 
with. It lacks the bolder, more startling 
colors of fontinalis; but it has such a deli¬ 
cate shape and such iridescent hues, that it 
is a perfect specimen of the more subdued 
type of beauty;—not that, indeed, which so 
readily catches the eye, as that which tires 
less quickly on prolonged inspection. 
The habitat of the frostfish is from the 
lakes of New England westward through 
the Adirondacks and the Great Lakes, and 
thence into Alaska. It has various local 
names. In Lakes Superior and Michigan 
it is the Menominee whitefish, the frost¬ 
fish in Lake Champlain and the Adirondack 
lakes, the round whitefish in British Amer¬ 
ica, the pilotfish in Lake Champlain, the 
shad-waiter in Lake Winnepesaukee, the 
Chautegay shad in Lake Chautegav, the 
blackback in Lake Michigan, and the chive;, 
in Maine. 
Some of its local names indicate its 
proper classification—among the species 
Coregonus of the Salmonidce. I do not 
find it classed as a gamefish by the authori¬ 
ties ; but its fighting spirit certainly ex¬ 
ceeds that of the lake trout, weight for 
weight. So far as I can ascertain, it is not 
caught in very many places by angling. 
Gillnets are usually employed. Consider¬ 
able quantities are taken every year, when 
lake trout are netted for the hatcheries. 
It does not seem to be generally known 
that it can be taken by hook and line; 
many even of the guides and older fisher¬ 
men of the Adirondack lakes showing sur¬ 
prise when seeing the fish and learning the 
mqnner of its capture. 
The season during which it bites is not 
of long duration in the Adirondacks—for 
a month or six weeks previous to the mid¬ 
dle of August, after which date one is 
rarely caught on the handline. 
On account of its delicate beauty and 
fighting qualities, it certainly deserves an 
honorable place on the list of fishes known 
as game.
