THE BLACK BASS.


Inch for inch and pound for pound"
rs DIR. A. j. Henshall wrote a good
many years ago. the black bass is the
gamest fish that swims." Indiana an
gIcrs are waiting for the cooler days Of
September and October to see if there
are really any of these delightful llnny
fighters i'm our rivers and lakes. The
American fisherman may be proud of
the knowledge also that the black bass
il a native American. though il has
been successfully introduced into Ger
man, French and English waters. And
what did we get i'm return? Angels
and ministers of grace defend us-the
German carp!
When the true sportsman speaks of
bass. he gives preference to the small
mouthed black bass found in clear, run
ming streams and i'm clear, cold lakes,
from the St Lawrence river to the Da-
l<otas and southwark 10 South Caro-
lima, where the natives call this fish a
trout"
It varies i'm different localities. Here
abouts a 2-pounder is considered good
sized specimen, but now and then one
may be caught that viii pull the scales
TO the 5-pound notch. II will rise to
the artificial fly. but there are times
when only the live minnow will tempt
it. and it will leap for its prey with
the arrowy rush Of a salmon.
The large moutlied black bass pre-
fers sluggish rather than running wat
err and is much I'm evidence i'm our
smaller Indiana lakes, where SEEMING
and dynamiting have not destroyed it.
This bass is found from Canada south
ward even into Mexico.
The small-mouthed bass is olive
green. often blotclied with very dark
green, especially on the head. The
big mouth is dark green above and sill
very below. II is almost as game as
the smal-mouth. Fish of this variety
have been caught 1t is said, weighing
| 8 pounds. --Indianapolis News.
