HINTS FOR ANGLERS

A bookworm does not make good bait for trout fishing. Trout may or may not make brains, but they certainly make liars. The angler is like the actor in one respect, he must not'forget his lines. Birds are often brought down on the wing; trout are frequently brought up on the fly. We prefer, however, having our trout stories overdrawn rather than our bank account. The red spots on a trout do not Indicate scarlet fever or the measles, as some suppose. Like many humans, the trout that keeps his mouth shut saves himself lots of trouble. If you hook a trout yon pull It In; If yon hook anything else you are apt to get pulled fn yourself. That is all we know about trout.
