“Bobbing” for Flounders.

The popular way at present lor catching flounders along the Connecticut coast is by the bobbing method. When a fish bites the bob is raised perpendicularly, and then the excitement begins. As soon as the bob rises a rush is made for it, and there is a chase of several minutes sometimes. In nine cases out of ten the fish is caught. The number of bobs generally used is eight. The most modest little pond can reflect a picture of the sun, if it is absolutely at rest in itself. —Carlyle.
