‘‘Smiling Bill’’ 
Goes Salmon. Fishing 

HELLO IKE! 
Where have we been? We’ve been fishin’ 
and look at what we brought back. This 
baby was 44 inches long, weighed 24 pounds, 
and I had totalk nice to him for an hour end 
seventeen minutes before I could coax him 
to come ashore and have his picture taken. 
He was awfully bashful. Was caught on a 
fly tied by Fred Peet on a No. 6 Jamison 
Barbless Hook. The Rod was a 5% oz. 9% 
foot Heddon Fly Rod, the reel was a Shake- 
speare Automatic, and the fish was taken at 
junction of Caines and Mirimache Rivers, 
75 miles from Fredericton, N. B., Canada, 
on the 19th of May, and landed nearly an 
hour after dark. ‘ 
There were three in our party, and we all 
took a lot of good fish. Those Salmon are 
some jumpers but they couldn’t get away 
from the Barbless. 
The good looking man on the left, trying 
to make out he caught the fishis Ed. Taylor. 
The funny looking guy is myself. Doc. 
Marcusson is behind the hill, but he was 
there when it come to catching Salmon, 
Yours, 
BILL JAMISON.

In writing to advertisers mention Forest and Sircam, 
hand, I held his left index finger 
tightly flexed and cut through the 
snake bites—high, wide, and handsome. 
Blood ran freely, even more so, as I 
sucked the wound. I don’t believe I 
ever had so much blood in my mouth 
before. A tourniquet made from a 
handkerchief was tightly tied about the 
base of the finger for a short time. I 
decided from the type of bite, he had re- 
ceived a small amount of venom, that 
more instantaneous radical treatment 
could not be secured, and that he would 
be as well up on the mountain as any 
place else. Aside from a sharp sting- 
ing pain and gradual swelling of the 
finger, he had no constitutional symp- 
toms, so that with the help of our neo- 
phyte, and using the usual technique, 
I bagged the snake and started home. 
Lue’s zeal for the catch got ahead of 
his better judgment for a moment, and 
in dealing with these animals whose 
attack, without any exaggeration, can 
be compared to lightning. for speed, it 
was quite sufficient to demand a pen- 
alty. Our quarry, by the way, was 
shipped alive to the New York State 
Curator at Albany the following day. 
PON arriving home Fletcher’s arm 
was considerably swollen, and by 
evening the swelling reached the elbow, 
but did not extend appreciably beyond. 
Further local treatment and a narcotic 
sufficed to alleviate all the symptoms 
by the following morning. True grit 
and sportsmanship were never better 
displayed than in my friend Fletcher. 
Since the accident was destined to 
happen, I was glad to be of service, 
and at the same time to have the op- 
portunity to observe a case of snake- 
bite shorn of the usual amount of ex- 
aggeration as to the size of the snake, 
etc. It is my sincere wish to read the 
experience and observations of others 
with this species of the Family Rep- 
tilia. Distant climbs may offer a large 
variety of reptiles and in greater num- 
bers, but if one searches, he can find 
plenty of thrills snake-hunting not 
sixty miles north of New York City.

of the season, used in the localities 
where they are best suited. 
Parmachenee Belle is said to be tied 
in imitation of a trout’s fin which is a 
very effective lure in Maine and Can- 
ada. It is probatly the favorite fly in 
the whole of Maine and Canada, 
though very seldom effective much be- 
low Maine, except for bass. It is tied 
with a white wing, having a strip of 
brilliant scarlet in it; the hackling is 
compound, being made of a red and 
white hackle. Body is lemon colored 
mohair, finished with a bit of peacock 
herl, and the tail is made of a strip 
of red and white feathers. 
ILVER DOCTOR is probably the 
second choice in the north country. 
It has a body of silver tinsel, hackle 
of blue and speckled guinea fowl, wings 
of strips of blue, yellow, red and wood- 
duck feathers. This is a very hard fly 
to tie properly, and most of the pat- 
terns one sees have something lacking, 
or something that doesn’t belong. This 
fly, too, is usually ineffective below 
Maine. 
Montreal has a claret colored body 
with gold ribbing, claret hackle and 
turkey wing. It is sometimes tied 
with a white tipped wing and called 
“white tipped Montreal.” <A very good 
general fly for trout and bass and a 
Maine favorite. 
Jenny Lind has a bright yellow silk 
body, scarlet hackle and bright blue 
wing. Used effectively in Maine and 
in the west on cut-throat trout and 
Dolly Vardens. 
Grizzly King is a good trout fly al- 
most everywhere and an exceptionally 
good bass fly. 
silk body, grizzly gray hackle, red tail 
and a wing of teal duck or Mallard. 
Scarlet Ibis is a Canadian fly when 
used for trout and good anywhere for 
bass. It is solid scarlet with gold tin- 
sel ribbing. 
Professor is a good general trout 
and bass fly. It has a yellow silk body, 
ribbed with gold, red tail, brown hackle 
and speckled mallard wing. 
Queen-of-the-Water resembles Pro- 
fessor somewhat. The body is of a 
duller yellow, bordering on orange. 
The hackling is brown and runs all 
the way down to the end of the body, 
palmer style. The wing is of speckled 
mallard also. A good bass and trout 
fly. 
OYAL COACHMAN is one of the 
favorite flies with all anglers and 
it is seldom indeed that it will not take 
trout and bass anywhere. It has a 
peacock herl body, divided in the center 
by a strip of scarlet floss, white wing 
and brown hackle. It is usually tied 
with a strip of wood duck for tail. 
Coachman is the same as_ Royal 
Coachman, except for the strip of scar- 
let in the body and is about as popular 
and effective. 
Cahill is one of the flies without 
which few anglers would think of start- 
ing a fishing trip. It has a body of blue 
gray fur or yarn, brown hackle and 
a wing of the brownish-yellow barred 
feather of the wood duck. This is a 
very “buggy” looking and effective fly 
tied either dry or wet for trout. 
Brown and Gray Hackles have 
bodies of peacock herl and hackles of 
the color indicated by their name. 
Tt will identify you, 
It has a medium green |
