Gentlemen: 
Am writing to let you knew 
what splendid sport 1 have had 
with your lures this season. I 
have caught nearly 100 pickerel 
and walleyes with your lures, in¬ 
cluding 3 or 4 five-pound pickerel 
and one 13%-lb. and another 
9 *4-lb. 1 caught all of the big 
ones and most of the others on 
your PIKIE MINNOW. Have only 
had the Pikie since the end of 
July. No fish can resist its Nat¬ 
ural appearance and wiggle. 
^ I consider it the deadliest min¬ 
now on the market today. 
Yours faithfully, 
ERNEST E. JONES.

trout up in the head-waters. The brook - 
was a typical mountain stream made up 
of boulders, rocks, pebbles, and sand 
rolled together in one irregular path. It 
tumbled, fell, slipped, and slid ever down¬ 
ward. It tumbled and roared over rocky 
beds and washed sheer ledges deep and 
dark; it fell over abrupt cliffs and lichen- 
covered glacial surfaces; it slipped with 
silent wash across long smooth granite 
cropping and slid with a flask of spray 
and gulping of waters into deep round 
potholes, and was away again to do it 
all over. To the water’s edge came the 
forest which crowded the shore, even 
the eminence of ledges and cliffs. Wind¬ 
falls formed barriers where the waters 
went over, under, or around. It was a 
brook to love—fish or no fish—for its 
life was a tumultuous journey varied 
with scenery and wild life. To love it 
was easy, to fish it required the subtle 
alchemy of a fisherman’s mind and hard - 
labor. 
I picked a shadfly from a meager as¬ 
sortment. The village store-keeper 
called it a shadfly and I took his long- 
visaged word for it—I never argue with 
a man. It may have been a shadfly, a 
new one, unknown to science. Just as 
the sun shot a shower of golden arrows 
through the forest, I stepped down to 
the cold waters of the brook under the 
frown of Moosilauke and sent a single 
fly to a dark cataract boiling about a 
granite boulder. It was a clumsy at¬ 
tempt at casting, as ungraceful as a bug 
tumbling from a leaf, but the geography 
of the brook and the proximity of the 
forest prevented any artistic effort with 
wrist. It was a case of get there, some¬ 
how—a common practice on a hard 
water. No trout answered endeavor, and 
I tried again and again, until with a last 
attempt the fly settled on the white foam 
as light as thistledown. Even perfection 
failed, and I moved a yard downstream. 
Not a flash greeted careful casting, no 
trout rose to question the authenticity of 
the insect. I knew trout were in those 
waters; I flipped a hit of pine bark to 
a quiet, unspeckled pool, and a trout 
took it instantly. 
Though not superstitious a creeled 
trout at sunrise means a perfect day. 
Changing to a fly which might have been 
a gnat or a cowdung I tried once more. 
In a streak of color he missed the fly. 
He shot at it again, half out of water, 
and I sunk the hook into his jaw. ^ A 
medley of dashes, short, intense—a final 
break "downstream, and he came to the 
creel, a full eleven inches of Moosilauke 
loveliness. 
With such an inaugural beginning a 
companionable pipe had the solace of a 
'benediction. The first fish of acceptable 
size kindled,the spark of desire,-and the 
high road of gentle adventure was open. 
In the space of minutes I hooked an¬ 
other fish, all of eight inches, who. put 
up a stiffer resistance against leaving 
his watery habitat than the first trout. 
Small trout filled many pools and haunted 
the still waters beside riffles and cata¬ 
racts. Where water is, there you may 
find trout. It is a legend among canoe¬ 
ists a birch canoe will float over dew- 
moistened grass. In these mountain
