A FTER taking the measurements of 
our bear we found he did not quite 
come up to my first one, nor was he 
quite so good in color, but nevertheless 
he was a good big one and had given 
us a good chase for his hide. 
That completed my trio to which I was 
entitled and I tried for the last few days 
to find a female with cubs, and located 
two different ones, each with two cubs, 
but they were of a very light color, and 
I did not feel like killing them, as they 
did not appeal to me as being good 
enough specimens for museum purposes, 
so I passed them up. 
King also secured his three; one being 
a very fine specimen, and he had quite 
some interesting experiences, which I 
hope he will relate to Forest and 
Stream readers some time when the 
spirit moves him. 
METHODS OF WINTER 
FISHING 
(Continued from page 15) 
v ater off of such places is sure to turn 
them up. A point to remember is that 
while you are fishing for other fish and 
they suddenly vanish where they have 
been biting well, some larger fish have 
come in to see what is doing. Unless 
you know this you may fish on in vain. 
If you are aware of the true state of 
things you will at once drop down a 
pike line with a large perch on it and 
will be rewarded as a result. To realize 
the most out of fishing in a lake is to 
know where its deep parts are, where 
the bars are, and where the fish run. 
The knowledge one obtains from the 
study of a lake in the summer will stand 
him well in the winter. There are times 
when one may have his best success in 
crappie fishing, for instance, on the cold¬ 
est day and in thirty or forty feet of 
water. I have fished some days without 
success but have fished in deep water on 
the nights following and have caught 
crappies when the temperature was 
away below zero; when the line when 
pulled from water has frozen stiff and 
could be thrust back down like a stick; 
and when the minnows, taken from the 
bucket, would, upon contact with the air 
turn bloodshot. Sport? Well, it is up 
to the individual. 
Some of the experiences I have had 
in this line I will never forget. The 
mere thought of being able to catch fish 
in such cold weather is a pleasing one 
to say the least. 
Crappies move in schools and it is in 
locating the exact place where the 
school happens to be that is hard. The 
movement of the schools are uncertain. 
One day they may be in one place and 
the next stationary. Generally if the 
day is mild they will be aswim and may
