EARLY TROUT NOT THE BEST.
Not Until May DO the Denizens OF the
Brook Achieve Perfection In Flavor.

sThere Is a big difference in the edible
quality Of brook trout taken early in the
season and the one that comes to the table
after the middle of May said an authority
on fish and fishing. 1T is during the latter
part Of May and In June that we catch the
perfect trout The reason is easily ex-
planned.
Gold weather with its consequent scarcity
Of food comes soon after the trout have
passed the eXhausting period Of spawning
and the Larvae OF the caddis fly are the main
food supply until warm weather with its
insect life returns In the spring.
The caddis fly is housed in sand grains,
twigs or leaves, and, when taken by the
trout, the house goes with tho tenant. and
any observer may readily detect the de-
cayed wood or earthly taste in the early
season trout. II Is only after the Larvae
emerge from their cases and develop into
the flies that swarm on the streams, and
other insect life that is rich in wholesome
elements AZ a trout food, and the trout
have dined on them for fortnight or co.
that flesh, taste. favor and game qualities
come to the perfection which places the
mountain brook trout ahead Of all COM
