lower branches of the trees along
your fishing route, you will have need
for all you can get. Don't take
many big hooks. The probability Is,
that if you manenver your fish right,
a very small hook will hold the big
gest fish you will find. Have plenty
of line. A fish may want to run !;
and you want to give him all the line
he needs. The probability is that
none of your fish will be as large as
the one Jonah caught. But come to
think about it, Jonah did not get the
whale on the contrary, the whale
rather got Jonah. Don't spit on
your bait. That is an old-fashioned
superstition, and does no good. We
used to have an idea, when We were a
boy, that assattetida was good thing
to use, but have lost faith in that.
Having brought you down to the
point of being ready to 60 fishing, and
given you what we know about the
tackle, the bait and the lunch, we will
now have to leave you On this side OF
