neither ever fought before, till, each 
exhausted, strove to break apart but 
could not free that hold. And so with 
the last remnant of their waning 
strength they battled back and forth 
across the harrowed earth, until the 
King with a furious rush bore the 
contender backward to the ground 
with a terrific shock; and there, ex- 
hausted, crazed with a blind agony of 
rage, his great heart broke and with 
a last despairing groan, he died. 
But in his fall he drew the great 
King down to a long lingering death. 
The Royal antlers, long its vaunted 
pride, and which had vanquished many 
a doughty foe, were locked in those of 
his dead adversary and held him fast 
through days of misery and torment 
till the end. 
And when the first soft snow came 
sifting down and covered all the world 
beneath its coat, a hunter came across 
them where they lay, locked fast in 
death and sinking to decay. He took 
the antlers home and mounted them 
across the doorway of his Northern 
home, where, locked as fast as on the 
night they clashed, they still remain, 
as specimens of one of nature’s mi- 
racles and relics of an undefeated 
King. 


Angling for Common Fishes

it up. In those cases the light rod 
bends to a perfect are and one has 
truly a fight on his hands that may 
end in disaster unless care is taken. 
There is nothing so pleasing as to go 
out some summer evening with a light 
outfit, fly-casting type, and bring in ten 
or fifteen fine sunfish. There may be 
a freshwater fish better as a panfish 
than the sunfish but I have yet to meet 
up with it. It is sweet, flaky, palatable; 
the body is free from bones in its flesh 
and may be consumed without fear of 
having any of these lodge in the throat. 
The good point scored in using flies 
and fishing the rise for these fine fish 
is that one can almost pick out a big 
fellow in the water by the swirl he 
makes and by casting to that particular 
fish, the chances of a capture are great 
indeed. When sunfish run deeper in 
the water three flies should be used on 
the leader and a couple or so of split 
shot will carry it down to them when, 
by being moved about, they will be

seized sometimes very much as the 
whitefish pluck at the flies on a leader. 
Where the sunfish is found in a stream 
it is of course necessary to use split 
shot on the leader or the rush of the 
water will carry them away before they 
have had time to get under the surface. 
In the heat of summer the sunfish 
also betakes themselves to the deep 
waters like other fish and may then be 
found off the sandbars. During rains, 
however, they will come inshore and it 
is then the shore fisher is in his ele- 
ment. The trouble is that he will use 
angleworms entirely to the exclusion of 
all other lures. There is a method of 
using a worm that is interesting. It 
consists in having a birds-eye spinner 
right up above the hook; the worm is 
connected on by hooking it through the 
“collar” (the meaty ring at the “neck” 
of the worm) and it is allowed to trail. 
This is lightly cast and worked through 
the water without allowing it to sink. 
The flash of the little spinner and the 
trailing worm is often too much for one 
of those big red-yellow bellied fellows 
and a moment after you will be having 
the tussle you have been looking for. 
This method, by the way, (that of keep- 
ing the worm off of the bottom) was 
advocated by John Harrington Keene. 
Keene, while he was a fly-fisherman, 
still had faith in the lowly earthworm 
just as he had faith in fishing for the 
more common fishes of the waters. 
One rarely catches the sunfish 
through the ice in the winter. They 
are very dull at this season and prob- 
ably fast the winter through. They 
are not like the crappie in this respect, 
the crappie being active in cold weather 
and fine. Many anglers have poor 
success fishing for sunfish in the 
autumn. This is probably because of 
the fact that they do not know where 
to seek to find them. The sunfish run 
deep, off of the sandbars during the 
fall season. The very best lure that 
I know for them then is the grass- 
hopper. Scout around in the pastures, 
among the grasses and find yourself a 
box full of ’hoppers and attach these 
to the hook and you will find that you 
will not have to worry about going 
home fishless. The grasshopper is one 
of the most desirable of dainties as a 
fish lure and it has to be a pretty par- 
ticular sunfish that will not seize upon 
it. Indeed it is not stretching the bow- 
string to breaking to say that the grass- 
hopper is even’better than the angle- 
worm as a sunfish lure. When the 
"hoppers are thick in late summer and 
are now and then dropping into the 
water, take the cue and use ’hoppers 
for bait!
