A Piece of Luck. 
ONE sometimes hears surprising stories of 
anglers recovering Jost leaders and other tackle 
by hooking the same fish a second time and land- 
ing kim with the lost tackle still fast in his 
Sein 
It was my good fortune to recover my lost 
tackle one “day last summer by a still greater 
piece of luck. I was “paternostering’”’ for perch 
in the little pond near the hotel at Manomet, 
Mass., using two hooks on a light gut “trace” (1 
believe that is the proper phrase when you are 
using a “paternoster.” with the sinker below the 
hooks), and was having very fair luck. Pres- 
ently I had a bite, and on striking found that my 
fish had “hung me” on one of the troublesome 
snags, which are abundant in this pond, so se- 
curely that 1 was unable to clear it with my rod, 
and when I tried to haul in the line by hand the 
trace parted about a foot from the end of my 
reel line. I had no whole spare trace with me, 
but found a piece of an old leader in my pocket, 
which I tied on to the remains of the trace, and 
putting on a new sinker and a single hook, baited 
up and tossed over in the same place. No sooner 
had the hook reached the bottom than it ap- 
peared to catch on again, and fearing that I was 
once more snagged, I raised the tip of my rod, 
and to my.surprise found that, instead of snag. 
I had a fish, and apparently a good one. After a 
little run, for I was using light tackle, I brought 
the fish alongside the boat, and was astonished to 
find that I had two fish! How could I have 
caught two fish when I had only one hook! I 
could hardly believe my eyes till I lifted my fish 
into the boat, and found that I had caught not 
only a half-pound perch and a hornpout some- 
what larger, but my lost trace complete, sinker, 
hooks and all! The hornpout was securely hooked 
on one hock and the perch on the other, while my 
last hook had caught the trace somewhere be- 
tween the two, and the whole was well tangled up. 
I sunpose when the trace parted it gave way 
just where it was caught round the snag, so the 
pair of fish were set free, but tied together like 
dogs in a leash. Apparently they couldn’t agree 
to go off together, but one pulled one way and 
one the other, thus stretching ou the trace for 
my hook to catch on. 
I basketed the perch, restored the pout to the 
water and mended up my paternoster again. I 
caught a good many more perch with it after-
