others Lose interest in Big Spring. That

when 1000 trout are not taken from its re-

LAKE kEUKA'S MYSTERY.
Bic wali.Eyed PIKE That Scorn All Bats
and Lures.


Amystery which fishermen have for years
been trying to solve is the refusal OF the
wall-eyed pike TO take lure or bait OF any
Kind in Lake Keuka. one Of New York s
best fishing waters, while in every other
water where IL has been placed the Sus-
ouehanna River, where II Is known as
salmon; the Delaware. where IL is the pike
perch: the streams Of western Pennsyl-
yania, where it is the jack salmon, and in
Oneida Lake-it provides enjoyable sport
TO anglers.
The wall-eyei pike was placed In Lake
Keuka by the Fish Commissioners OF this
State years ago. and although II Is known

of nature. 1t will not bite, rave very rarely.
Last season Frank Griswold, q local
sportsman. hooked and landed fourteen
pound wall-eyed pike in Lake keuka
while testing q new artificial lake trout
h,,s OF his invention, and 1t was believed
that a bait had at last been found that would
plaoe the wall-eyed pike in the list Of fishes
70 be angled for in Lake Keuka. Griswold
could not supply the demand for the new
TROLLS. and anglers were out from one end
of the lake 20 the other troinhg ior PIKE
But the result did not justify the hope.
The wall-eyed pike Griswold landed was
the only one killed during the season.
The theory generally accepted is that the
xall-eyed pike finds such choice and abun-
dant food in the young Of the lake trout
and whitefish Of Lake keuka that 1t has
no taste for meaner morsels and no inclina-

GAMEBIRDS ARRIVE EARLY.
Good Spring Shooting Reported In the

SEA ISLE CITY, n. j.. April 4.-There is no
need for thoee who enjoy good wildfowl and
snipe shooting TO go to the far South to

Cape May county will be the abiding place
OF thousands Of ducks and snipe for the
next month or six weeks.
Usually the spring shooting in south
Jersey does not begin until mid-April.
but this year is an exception. The mild
weather has already brought thousands OF
gamebirds to the marshes and waters OF
the bays and inlets. For a week past the
shellducks, butterballs. black ducks and
broadbills have been coming from their
winter homes in Southern waters in great
fiocks. An occas ional bunch Of teal also
wings its way into the quiet hooks OF the
great sounds.
