vicinity than 1t has been during recent
weeks and some remarkably good catches
have been made. Joe Hunter the we'll

landing forty-six fine fish in three days

when good lively smelt were obtained 1t
was not always possible to keep them alive.
Mr.. Hunter conceived the idea of using fat
pork cut In strip about three inches long
with swivel attachment to his leader. He
used piece of what is called "fat-back,"
which he found so tough that 1t could not
easily be torn from the hook. 1t was this
bait that proved SO successful
