from rear to front, and one could walk 
right up near them. Muzzle loading 
shot guns were all we had in those 
days, and I hate to think what would 
have been doing if we were equipped 
with modern pump guns. They are 
gone and who knows where they went?

JUST CARPING 
DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
N your December issue I note a letter 
on that slow moving and cautious 
bottom feeder, the carp. This bony 
old fin has a lot of fun poked at him, 
but he is as game as any of them. For 
real sport take your fly rod and a 
fine line with a six foot gut snelling, 
a No. 4 Sproat on the end and a No. 
10 about 1% feet up. This camouflage 
is necessary as the old dutchman 
doesn’t want any string tied to bait; 
he’s just as suspicious as any bass or 
trout that ever broke water. Through 
the summer months the elusive carp 
likes a vegetable diet and can be 
caught on diced potatoes or green corn 
strung on the hooks, dough balls: or 
- wheat chewed to a paste. 
Chicken liver is a good bait as one 
can prepare it for future use. If going 
fishing a day after getting some liver, 
just toughen it with a spoonful of 
sugar and let it harden for a day, this 
will prove a very interesting bait. The 
liver can also be kept for other trips. 
Place it in a jar and sprinkle well with 
powdered alum, but roll in sugar a 
day before you care to use it. Be sure 
that you cover the hook well, leaving 
no sign of steel. The elusive old carp 
will take this bait with a gulp and 
start off with a jerk that will save you 
the trouble of setting the hook, the 
surprised and frightened fish will give 
you as good a sport as can be had on 
a light rod.

HE skillful caster 
never singles out the 
fly he likes, but that 
which suits the Trout’’, so 
runs a familiar saying.

But after the skillful caster 
lands the Trout he likes, you 
can rest assured it will sizzle 


to a rich, appetizing brown in 
Mazola—the perfect oil for 
frying fish to perfection.
