PLENTY OF PICKEREL.

Pike and pickerel are said to be unusually plentiful in the Kankakee again this season, and wagon loads of them have been caught. While a great many people seem to think these fish excellent eating at this season of the year, the writer was brought up to consider it a winter fish only, and not very good daring the spring and summer. Our way of catching these fish in our native state (New York) was to cut holes through the ioe and set “bobs” for them. This was fine sport, and the fish were solid and of fine flavor, bat they were only sought after daring the winter season.
