East 
In writing to 
variations of the doodle bug are al- 
most without number. In any event, 
in another period and in other places, 
it might and probably would be utterly 
useless, just as we had found it else- 
where in the past. As to the lake, 
which offered everything at least one 
angler ever dreamed of—fishing in 
variety, gorgeous scenery, good accom- 
modations, perfect meals, pleasant 
companionship and delightful hosts— 
to be more specific about these things 
would be to infringe on the functions 
of the advertising department. Be- 
sides, not the least of the joy of an- 
gling lies in finding these things for 
oneself. 
As stated, this was our first experi- 
ence with northern bass. In mere 
bulk, they will not compare with their 
southern relatives, but at the same 
time, what they lack in this respect is 
more than offset by their prodigious 
voracity and gameness. In Louisiana, 
we have often taken bass weighing 
twice as much as any we caught in the 
Adirondacks and with far less trouble, 
but the difference in size and aggres- 
siveness is probably accounted for by 
the warmer waters of the South, to- 
gether with the greater abundance of 
natural food there. 
HE trout fisherman, bless him, was 
still there when we left. We gave 
him our stock of two doodle bugs, and 
when we last saw him, he in turn was 
light-heartedly offering his trout tackle 
to anyone who wanted it. Long may 
he prosper! 
My Friend the Margaree 
(Continued from page 481) 
The principal flies used on the Mar- 
garee are the Jock Scott, Durham 
Ranger, Silver Gray and Black Dose. 
These four I had been casting first one 
and then the other religiously the whole 
morning with the result of the single rise 
mentioned before. It is true I could not 
tell what the others were doing with the 
combination further down stream but I 
made up my mind to give the old Par- 
machenee Beau a chance. I was 
heartily poohpoohed by a couple of old 
timers when I made this change, and 
even though I hooked my salmon a mo- 
ment later they would not acknowledge 
that the fly was any good. At any rate 
it was serving its purpose well, for I 
had a twelve pound fish on. He was a 
queer cuss, too, for instead of rushing 
out a long line he employed a different 
tactic of heading straight for me. The 
only thing for me to do to gather up my 
loose line was to run back on the shore 
and then reel in as I walked back to the 
water’s edge. This proved very satis- 
factory as I was able to keep a taut 
line in this manner until he started the 
Advertisers mention Forest and Stream, 
aerial work. He had an almost un- 
limited amount of stunts of this nature. 
He seemed anxious to show off, but the 
queer part was that at no time did he 
go more than thirty feet from the tip of 
my rod. The entertainment proceeded 
in this manner for three quarters of an 
hour—I meanwhile wondering if Mac 
would be back with the gaff soon. He 
must have had grave misgivings of 
what was happening, for I heard a 
breaking through the bushes back of me 
and there he was cheering lustily and 
cautioning me not to hurry him. I 
thought I was doing anything but 
hurrying Mr. Salmon, but acting on 
Duncan’s advise prolonged the fight for 
another half hour with the result that 
my fly dropped out just as the gaff put 
the finishing touch to the beauty’s 
career. Maybe I didn’t feel proud as a 
peacock, due mainly to that slow and 
sure winning the race proposition. 
OW that I had a chance to look 
around a bit I noticed Alex was 
missing and was volunteered the infor- 
mation that his old love for the trout 
had overruled even the majestic salmon, 
which personally, I never shall be able 
to understand. He was having the time 
of his life dropping his fly in a mass of 
white foam at the side of a strong run 
of white water and had already taken 
out three handsome fish when Mac left 
disgusted that mere trout should inter- 
fere with the other kingly sport. At the 
same time I also caught sight of an- 
other fish about a pound or so larger 
than mine which Mac had picked out of 
the long pool a mile below our present 
location. This made three mighty hand- 
some trophies, surely enough to gladden 
the heart of any sportsman for a day’s 
fishing, so making the rather late dis- 
covery that we were getting ravenous, 
due to altogether skipping the thoughts 
of lunch, we picked up our catch and 
went in search of Alex. 
Alex secmed glued to the place where 
Duncan had left him. That was good 
enough for him it seemed from the 
catch which numbered eight or nine 
beautiful trout—so we called it a day, 
and tramping back to the place where 
we left the mare, loaded things on our 
rig and raced home for supper. 
F ever a good hot meal was appreci- 
ated and done justice to, that one 
was. Fresh salmon steaks were a pre- 
dominating feature and with the plates 
of steaming biscuits, hot coffee and 
other delicacies, there was no doubt 
about what kind of appetites we had. 
In fact you couldn’t say we exactly hurt 
our hostess’ feelings by not eating 
enough. 
The next two days were continued 
moments of joyful reminiscences, new 
scenes, interesting characters and good 
sport and a decision of Mac to take us 
It will identify you.
