Some Reasons for the Angler’s Lack of Success 
Written and Illustrated 
By LOUIS RHEAD 
HIS pitiful appeal becomes more 
evident every season not only 
from the duffer but the expert 
angler also, and it may be mentioned 
it is not confined to any local or par- 
ticular section in spite of the tremen- 
dous number of fish planted annually 
by the various state hatcheries. The 
reasons fish don’t bite are various and 
some of these causes are here set forth 
by the writer from studies of brook 
trout in his own ponds at close and 
familiar range, that, perhaps, may be 
of value to the unsuccessful angler of 
every grade. 
No one will deny the top notch am- 
bition of the average fisherman is to 
catch trout, then comes the bass, 
pickeral, and mascalonge with an iso- 
lated few salmon anglers—no one 
doubts but what the trouts are easier 
to capture under normal conditions in 
Spring when they feed almost entirely 
on surface insects to display their 
presence in sight of the angler. His 
wail, “why don’t they bite,” comes not 
at that time, but later in the season 
when not nearly so voracious, their 
food being less plentiful. 
It has been stated by expert trout 
culturists that scarcely 5% of the eggs 
developed naturally, by wild trout, at- 
tain to a yearly state, so numerous and 
so varied are the enemies, aside from 
man, that devour trout during that 
interval. 
HE difference is enormous with 
cultivated trout which average 
from ninety to ninety-five per cent. up 
to three year old fish. When we con- 
sider that from the time the fry has 
consumed the egg sack the sustenance 
of cultivated trout consists of artificial 
food, chopped beefs hearts, and, of 
natural foods, worms, insects, min- 
nows and creepers they know nothing 
whatever, it is no wonder that when 
planted in wild waters, they take no 
food for days, perhaps weeks, until 
hunger and instinct forces them to feed, 
and before so doing they wander 
around their new environment of six to 
fifteen in number, wondering perhaps, 
after a life spent in fifteen feet of 
space, how unlimited is the new water 
world. 
After the writer’s pond was stocked 
in March with brook trout ranging 
from fry to fifteen inch fish, it was in- 
teresting to watch how each different 
size fish, in groups, would swim all 
along the different intersecting dams— 
two of still water and three dividing 
runways. 
HE large fish finally located in deep 
quiet water, and the medium size 
in quick water just below little water- 
falls, thee fry taking to the woedy 
edges of the shallows. During March 
and April the large fish had to be fed 
on chopped meat, then natural foods— 
insects, worms and minnows were not 
available until early May when they 
would rise with avidity to the artificial 
fly and gobble up live minnow and 
worms as fast as they were offered as 
food. 
At the same period, the middle of 
May, the writer assisted in planting 
200 fourteen inch rainbows in a lake 
at Patchogue that contained abundant 
natural food of all kinds. All through 
May, June and July many anglers tried 
every kind of bait, natural and arti- 
ficial, but few, if any, had been eap- 
tured.
