MOUSE FOR BAIT.
A New Way of Catching Fish IN
Colorado.

We have recently learned some inter
esting facts concerning the Colorado
trout and trout streams from Thomas
Withers, civil engineer, and Deput,
United States Land Surveyor for tn,
State OF Colorado. Mr.. Withers hal
been in Washington. and while ther'
collected some useful information pre-
paratory to establishing trout hatcher,
on beautiful stream owned by him nea
Denver. He will probably make specia
effort TO get the native red bellied trou
(Salmo purpuratus). and devote consid
cradle attention to its propagation. Mr.
Withers is an enthusiastic fisherman and
well posted as to the habits Of the trout
He states that the helgramite is extreme
ly common in the north fork of tn,
Platte, and its fly form, which is there
known as the willow fly, is one of the
best natural foods for trout, and, also
one of the most excellent bats of the
region.
Mr.. Withers gives very amusing ac,
count Of the capture of large trout at
Buffalo, near Denver, on the South Fork
Railroad. There is in that vicinity SO
called mouse, which has the habit OF
going into the water very freely, and on
this account we suppose the animal To be
one of the shrews, probably the common
shrcw (Neosorex palustris), which is the
largest of the shrews aquatic in their
habits. 1t grows to length of six
inches, including the tail, which is two
and half inches long. 1t is found from
Massachusetts, to the Rocky Mountains
and northward. The muzzel of this
shrew is very long and abundantly sup
piled with whiskers.
Its feet are very long and have fringe
of hair. The ears are valvular and
adapted for life in the water. 1t feeds
upon insects and also upon other Larvae.
as we may gather from description of
kind of stick bait mentioned by Mr..
Withers. But to take up Mr.. Withers'
description of the capture of big trout
with a live mouse. lie says: 1--WE were
led to try the mouse from the fact that
on cutting open large trout we were
very much astonished by finding mouse
in its stomach. A hook was passed
! through the skin of the neck and the
fespcfef was attacfIcu to a large chip IN
such manner that the mouse could not
get away from its float.
"Then the chip with its live freight
was liberated in the creek at some dis
tance above the bridge under which the
big trout was known to secrete himself.
The chip went merrily dancing down
the stream, the mouse meanwhile run
ming backward and forward as far rs the
limits of his raft would allow, and things
went swimmingly until the bridge was
reached Here we saw sudden commo-
ticn which we knew was caused by the
big trout.
''His troutship seemed to hit the chip
with its tail, for it flew out into the
air a foot or so more above the surface
of the water, and he swallowed the
mouse. The fisherman in charge of the
line succeeded, after some difficulty, In
landing the trout, which proved to be a
five-pounder Afterward Mr.. Withers
learned that the live mouse was known
to many of the fishermen as one of the
most killing bats for the black-spotted
trout, and its use is very general in that
part of Colorado. =! Forest aud Stream.
