The Green Fisherman.

1t is amusing to veteran when visit
ing angling resorts to watch the beauti-
full way in which the guides seduce the
greenhorns into buying tackle or outfits
from them or from the local stores.
There is always some particular fly or
spoon without which it is useless to fish.
and then when it comes to going out to
the fishing grounds, woe to the man who
has not been there before, for unless he
happens to have an unusually conscien-
tious boatman the chances are that he
will be taken over some very convenient
ground where there are few if any fish.
"They are not biting today" or "You
ought to have been here last week, ETC..
are the consoling remarks made by the
guides; we have all listened to these re-
marks time and time again. Anglers on
their first trips to the Thousand Isles
suffer from this to very great extent:
there are so many good looking and con-
venient localities barren of fish while
the best and prolific waters are at con-
siderable distance from the hotels and
require hard work at the oars to reach
them. In fact the experience of sports
men is that the first season at a new re-
sort, whether for fishing or shooting, is
usually wasted.-Forest and Stream.
