bug alights, then the brief, jerky re- 
trieval, the streak of black as the fish 
rushes up from his hiding place, the 
commotion as it strikes and then the 
jump and tremendous splash! Small- 
mouth bass seldom jump more than 
once, and in this respect at least they 
are not as spectacular as a large-mouth 
bass—which of the two puts up the 
harder fight is a mooted question, for 
undoubtedly both are wonderfully 
game. 
HE trout fisherman soon learned 
that the tactics of the bass are 
totally unlike those of the trout; when 
the latter strikes and feels that the 
thing in his mouth is a fake, he spits 
it out, and few things can spit quicker 
than a disappointed trout; the trout 
angler must needs therefore jerk his 
rod on the instant of the strike, or lose 
his fish. The bass, on the other hand, 
means business when he strikes; he is 
vicious and powerful, and when he 
grabs a thing, he plays for keeps, and 
to see him in action is to appreciate his 
description as “the tiger of the 
waters.” 
However, to get back to our lake. 
Thereafter, the trout fisherman accom- 
panied us regularly on our expedition 
after bass, and to us it seemed that 
the items of fresh air and mild ex- 
ercise were no longer matters of any 
importance with him. We even began 
to entertain the suspicion that the bass 
had something to do with it, because 
divil a word did he have to say about 
his old love, the trout. The doodle bug 
continued to hold its magic charm; it 
never failed, and the climax was 
reached the day we caught eleven 
weighing two pounds apiece and up- 
wards, threw back ten as being too 
small and lost fourteen others of vari- 
ous sizes for one reason or another. 
Despite the utmost care, we also broke 
the other trout rod—a steel one of 
similar make—and there was much 
jubilation when it was discovered that 
a new outfit could be patched together 
out of the two wrecked rods. 
But even the most joyous of vaca- 
tions must end. The journey, which 
had been made by motor, wound up in 
a grand circuit of the Adirondacks, 
and in itself is an event long to be re- 
membered. After some rather exten- 
sive travel in two continents, we had 
come to believe that we were getting 
somewhat blasé on such matters, but 
we completely exhausted both ourselves 
and our stock of exclamations and 
superlatives while viewing the scenery. 
However, the trip is another story. 
HERE was this marvellous lake, 
it may be asked, and what was 
the real name of the lure? As to the 
latter, we have since found that, al- 
though we had but two of them, the
