EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS OF FISHES. 
Continued from page 541 . 
9-ounce rod, with samp.es of nine-thread l.nes 
from all the big makers. Then the reels used 
for this rod, the gaffs that go with it, photo¬ 
graphs of the boats of the angler who follows 
these fishes, photographs of the fishing localities 
in California, Florida, and elsewhere. This 
would refer to a number in the book in which 
would be given an account of the economic value 
of the sport, an estimate of the amount invested 
in rods, reels and lines. It could be shown, as an 
example, that Ca ifornia considers that anglers 
alone spend over $1,000,000 annually in that 
State. Each rod. reel and line would have prices 
marked on them showing cost. There would be 
the reference to books on rod making, line manu¬ 
facturing. etc., to be found in public libraries. 
Then would come the 6-ounce sea rod, the cast¬ 
ing (bait) rods, and the various other rods; then 
salmon rods (salt-water salmon, fresh-water sal¬ 
mon), showing every possible rod and line. 
Then flies numbered on cards—English, Amer¬ 
ican, Irish; spoons, imitation live baits, nets, 
gaffs, fish baskets; and with each rod a photo¬ 
graph of an angler holding that rod, showing it 
in action. In a word, the whole story would be 
told, and in the guide would be read the number 
of thousands of dollars invested in salmon as 
sport, for the renting of rivers, maintenance of 
hatcheries, cost of tackle. Then the trout rods 
of all kinds, flies, leaders, pictures showing silk 
worm, or gut maker, bamboo from which the rod 
is made, fly hooks, creels, nets, etc., bait cans, 
gut leader cans, worm cans, bait minnow cans, 
etc.; pictures of trout, anglers casting, records of 
long-distance casting for accuracy, etc. Coming 
to black bass, there would be the same plan—- 
rods, pictures of the black bass, skiffs of the St. 
Lawrence River, etc. In fact, collect about this 
tackle section every possibly factor that will tell 
the story of the utilization of the fish, its value 
to man, the number of guides and boats em¬ 
ployed, cost of boats, reference to manufacturers. 
In this way, passing tarpon, trout, tuna, sal¬ 
mon, and other rods the visitor would come to 
boats. Elere I would show a typical St. Law¬ 
rence skiff with dummy figures, the angler in the 
stern holding the rod, the boatman behind him. 
I would show also a typical Catalina launch for 
big game 1 fishes, fully equipped with figures. 
Then other boats could be shown in photographs. 
All the dealers in fishing boats would contribute 
cuts or photographs of their models and equip¬ 
ment, such as steel fishing boats, the engines 
used in modern fishing boats, etc. 
In the section relating to bait for game fishes 
I would show “cast” and other nets, flying-fish 
gill nets, etc., used by boatmen to catch bait, the 
colored cotton lures used by Japanese in America 
for sardines, etc. In a corner I would have a 
complete photographic set of California game 
fishes, showing the angler standing with the fish, 
and the exact tackle used. 
Next I would show photographs or models of 
famous angling c'ub houses, as Tuna Club, 
Aransas Pass Tarpon Club, Asbury Park Club, 
New York Club, Salmon Club, California Light 
Tackle Club; and in the guides would be found 
the estimated value of club house^. For ex¬ 
ample, Avalon, Cal., has the $7,000 house of the 
Tuna Club; the two angling clubs there have 
2,000 members and $1,500 in cups; the boatmen 
have $150,000 invested in angling boats, glass-
