first rush—then gradually lessened till 
the fish gets weak enough to stand the 
click reel resistance, with the rod al- 
ways at an angle of sixty degrees. 
When the fish is tired out, floundering 
on its side, you place the net well down 
in the water, judging the length of the 
line to bring it to net, then draw the 
fish down with the waterflow and drop 
it in dragging it to the stream side for 
a final knockout on land. 
Henry Braithwaite’s Tales 
of the Forest 
(Continued from page 220) 
mal had got him by the heel; no doubt 
it was a fox. 
FEW days later I was taking the 
lady of the party to the lake fish- 
ing. I was walking a short distance 
ahead and saw a fox coming up the 
trail. I dropped down close to the 
ground and the lady did the same. The 
fox came up within twenty feet of me, 
stopped and looked me all over, then 
took a few more steps toward me and 
twisted his neck in all shapes to get a 
better view of me. 
I couldn’t suppress a grin on my 
face, which he instantly saw, and he 
wheeled and ran. I sprang after him, 
letting out all the unearthly yells I 
had wind to make. He jumped in the 
air from one side of the road to the 
other and, if I had had breath enough, 
I think I could have caught him. I 
have caught many young ones that 
way, some of them half grown. Make 
all the noise you can and they will 
dive under the first log or root or in 
any hole they can get their head in. As 
long as a fox gets his head out of 
sight he thinks he is safe. You can 
take hold of him and pull him out and 
he won’t offer to bite. 
I well remember the last one I caught. 
I was on the trail with a heavy load 
when a young fox jumped out in front 
of me and started to run. I threw 
down my bundle and started after him, 
yelling at the top of my voice. He 
made three or four jumps and stuck his 
head under a log. Hauling him out I 
carried him back to my bundle where 
I lay down to take a good rest. 
KEPT the fox between me and the 
bundle, and petted and talked to him; 
he, looking into my face, appeared to 
understand all I said. I told him if 
he would promise to come back in the 
fall and get in one of my traps, I would 
let him go. He looked at me as much 
as to say he would, and I released him 
gradually. He sat quite a while, not 
seeming to realize he was at liberty. 
Finally he looked around, gave a spring 
and started off. I yelled at him and 
It will identify you. 
F 
the last I saw of him he was diving” 
under an old log; but like many other 
folks, he didn’t keep his promise. 
Another incident happened when I 
was going along the Mirimachi River, 
I met a fox coming down the shore on 
the ice. The river was freezing up, 
and wherever there were rocks there 
were large quantities of ice around 
them with rapid water running be- 
tween them. I was so excited I let 
out a yell at the fox and he sprang on 
a large cake of glace ice. When he 
struck it he slid into the open water 
behind it and swung for another cake 
round a big rock. He succeded in get- 
ting on that but jumped off in the rapid 
water when he got across, went down 
round the turn and that was the last I 
saw of him. I felt almost like a thief 
when I saw what I had done, but I 
had no idea he would jump in the 
river. 
HE simplest and best way to get 
foxes is with snares, which almost 
everyone uses now. I have two men 
looking after my hunting camps who 
snared thirty last season after they 
were through with sporting men. Set 
the snares on the trapping trails and 
step over them and go right on. | 
Foxes are now getting very valuable. 
One is worth now what four or five | 
would have brought twenty years ago. 
Last winter, a man I used to have for 
a helper, caught nine where he was 
cutting cordwood. 
I remember the first fisher I ever 
caught I got a dollar and eighty cents 
for; now they average a hundred dol- | 
lars a piece. |

Traps placed on small platforms on > 
stakes driven around the pond are used 
at a number of the Bureau’s stations | 
for the capture of kingfishers, but these

other feathered enemies of fish life can | 
be successfully held in check by the use | 
of firearms.

These animals may be taken either | 
on land or in the water by means of | 
a trap set on a projecting point of the 
bank, or in the water at places where | 
the signs indicate that they come for | 
fish. A mink will wander all along the - 
banks of a stream or pond, exploring | 
every nook, including all the little | 
brooks and ditches emptying into it. 
The traps are therefore often set on 
fallen trees or logs across small streams. | 
Bait is sometimes used. For this pur- |
