| Gees OF SALT WATER ON DACE. 
In tidal rivers containing dace it is curious to 
‘e how the salt water, mixing with the river 
ater, affects the dace. It seems to drive them 
_ the top, and cause them to bore along in shoals 
jst under the surface, so that each fish makes 
1 A-shape mark or furrow. The latter half of 
\te back is often nearly out of the water, as 
liough the air bladder were expanded by the 
ctra pressure of the heavier salt water, so that 
ie fish are forced to the surface. The fish are 
ridently very uncomfortable, and what appear 
1) be rises are, I think, in most cases attempts 
|; get rid of the salt taste by a breath of fresh air! 
}nyway, I have often cast a fly in front of these 
if h, but it is a rare thing to get them to take 
when you see them roving about as if pos- 
hsssed by a spirit of unrest—really because their 
ir bladders are not “set” for the heavier 
|edium.—London Fishing Gazette.
