FISHING FOR TROUT.
The Necessary Outht-Skill Required e.
Make n Lucky Fisherman.

Trout fishing is of two kinds-hait fish.
Ing with earth worms in the ponds aud
stream and the casting of artificial flies ny
the surface of the water. Bait fishing Is
the first in order. 1t is less expensive
and requires less skill and delicacy oi
handling than fly fishing, During the
height of the season there are times when
for some unaccountable reason, trout will
not rise to the most tempting fly, but will
take IA worm deAly dropped before its

about seven ounces in weight, and so
tough, strong aud elastic as to bend al

reel, iitted toit and Il line of silk or linen
with smells and hooks, n box of bait, u
sinker on each smell heavy enough to pre-
vent the current of swift streams from
whirring the hook about too fast, and a
creel to carry the fish in completes the
equipment. In trout fishing, as in violin
playing, more depends upon skill than
anything else. The musician can delight
his hearers with !. fairly good instrument
more than can the tyro with Stradi-
varius, and the skillful disciple Of Izaak
Walton can catch more trout with COM
, mon rod and self made flies than the
novice cnn with the most expensive par
