feet it will save a lot of vexation. Have 
vour flies and bottom lures already tied 
in a warm room before you start out 
in the cold, chilly blasts. Each of them 
should be tied on a different leader 
which, if placed in a damp box, will 
be fit for fishing just when required. 
Always fish on the river side which is 
protected from the cold winds—you 
experience much greater comfort not 
only for yourself, but casting is easier 
and more sure with the wind in your 
favor. Insects always choose sunny 
spots during cold weather. Not a single 
fly will be seen in a bleak locality, yet 
on parts of the stream that is protected 
and secluded, though sunny, you may 
count on a bunch of hardy little shad- 
flies, needletails and March browns, 
dancing merrily over the water. Trout 
see them all right, and strange to say, 
they, too, gather together to enjoy the 
warm sunshine. 
In a rain or snow drizzle bottom 
fishing with reversal nymphs or creep- 
ers will often attract trout. Several 
years ago I was on the stream a week 
before the opening day, for the purpose 
of noting the exact time early insects 
appeared. The weather was mild and 
summerlike, which gave success to my 
quest. The opening day was awful— 
snow squalls, biting wind. Half a dozen 
flyfishers came down the stream with 
worms frozen stiff on the hooks, and 
their efforts were in vain. That method 
has since departed for good, I think. 
It is now an assured fact that trout 
will not respond to any mortal thing 
the angler offers unless its natural food 
—insects, creepers or young minnows 
—awake from their dormant state at 
the bed of the stream. For many years 
I have proved this fact. Should the) 
season be abnormally late, if you will) 
carefully study the river side to find 
that aquatic creatures are entirely ab- 
sent, depend upon it no success will be 
possible. The right temperature of the 
water for trout to actively move after 
food has varied during the last fifteen 
years from the twentieth of April till 
as late as May the ninth. Since my 
studies were finished I never go for 
real fishing till after the first week in 
May; though many anglers have pre- 
ceded, very few trout are taken. In 
high latitudes the real fishing begins 
after the first week in May.
