when you should have gone to your 
waist or arm pits to be under water 
as much as possible? How often have 
you stood on the bank instead of lying 
down out of sight? You stand charged 
for that you did, etc. How say you? 
Are you guilty or not guilty? 
These things apply with much greater 
force to the quiet pools. In the turbu- 
lent stretches one must almost of neces- 
sity wade in out in the open. Even 
so the man who keeps as much of his 
‘body as he can under water, displays 
his wisdom and the other things are 
well worth attention likewise. 
(AS advisability of getting in deep 
is obvious. The need of keeping 
out of sight is something few will dis- 
* pute, but many do not practice. Does 
it pay? Let me illustrate by a prac- 
tical example. On one occasion I was 
fishing on a stream in British Columbia 
with two friends, and we decided one 
day to make our starting point at a 
pool some way from camp, said to hold 
large fish. This pool was entirely in 
the open, too deep to wade, some fifty 
yards long and about two long casts in 
width, and across the lower end ran an 
old bridge. My friends walked down 
to the edge and fished. They also 
walked across that bridge. I did like- 
wise. There seemed little use in doing 
anything else in the circumstances and 
we got nothing but small fish, most of 
which went back. My friends decided 
the pool was fished out and went on up 
stream. So did I, but not far, and after 
a little. I slipped back, got up on a knoll 
well back from the pool and mapped 
out a plan of campaign. While there 
I saw an excellent fish jump just under 
the old bridge. The opposite bank 
offered the best approach, so.I decided 
to fish from it. I then went round the 
head of the pool, waded the rapids 
above it well up and took a wide de- 
tour to a point opposite the end of the 
bridge, put on fresh flies and crawled 
- on hands and knees to a rock just above 
the bridge behind which I sat and after 
waiting a few moments cast straight 
out keeping the flies up as much as 
possible and then settled them gently 
about ten feet above the bridge. The 
big trout was there and needed no 
second invitation. We had a nice little 
fight, in which I managed to keep him 
pretty well under the bridge or below 
it and when he was safely creeled, I 
had a smoke and waited for any con- 
sternation he might have created to be 
forgotten. Then I started up stream 
keeping as far from the pool as the 
longest line I knew how to cast would 
let me and invariably playing my fish 
in water which I had covered. Well in 
two hours I had sixteen good fish and 
had unceremoniously yanked out and 
thrown back considerably more small 
ones.

E. B. Wise, of South Carolina, is an expe- 
rienced huntsman. What he says about guns 
is worth listening to. 
He writes: “I have owned a number of 
high-priced guns, but for close target shoot- 
ing or bird shooting at long range my Iver 
Johnson Champion beats any of them. It 
makes the boys wonder to seea fellow drop 
birds with an Iver Johnson when their high- 
priced guns won’t reach them.”
