CATCHING SHAD WITH Hook AND
L1NE.-It has been the popular notion
in this country that shad could not be
induced to take bait, and when cap
tured it must be by the net in some
form. Seth Green has a letter from
Thomas Chalmers, dated at Holyoke,
on the Connecticut, giving the results
of his experiments at batting shad, in
company with another named George
Murray. The writer says, notwith-
standing the old saying that shad will
not take bait, he and his companion
went to Holyoke two years ago and be-
gan making observations and expert
ments. They had never visited a shad
stream before.
A careful examination of the stomach
of the shad gave no light as to what
they fed upon. Various kinds Of bait,
natural and artificial, were tried, and
for a considerable time without salts
factory result. At length some flies
we're dressed ina peculiar manner, and
these the shad took, and were captur-
ed in considerable numbers with hook
and line. In July, 1871, 1853 shad
were taken on two poles. Three flies
were used on one line, and sometimes
as many as three shad were taken at
one cast-the whole weighing eight
and a-half pounds. The present sea-
son has not been so good, owing part
ly to rolly water, but the sport has been
fair. In one evening, between z and
$50, the two angles took in twenty
shad on hooks and lines. Mr.. Chal-
mers says that from childhood he has
been given to sport with rod and line,
and thinks the catching of shad with
hook and line the best angling he has
found.-R0chester Union.
