As the weather and the water get
warmer. the fish become less active.
and il often takes more skill and pa
tience to land one fine bass in August
than it does to get half dozen in
June. There are times when neither
virtue seems to avail anything, but as
a general rule the man who knows his
stream and keeps his wits at work will
have something to show for hts efforts.
One fisherman, who has written book
or two on angling, besides numerous
magazine articles, tells of tempting a
fine large-mouth bass that lay in the
bottom of a clear pool one summer day.
This quarry allowed grasshoppers, min
nows, and other morseis to drift past
his nose without designing to notice
them, and once or twice actually moved
out of their way when the angler be-
came too persistent OF course there
is no way TO nook a fish in that mood,
but an early morning trip to the same
pool might have a far different result.
On bright sunshiny days the best re-
lures, provided you are using artificial
rather than live bait. On cloudy days
the yellow or green mtnnows are most
desirable but for most of the August
days the dark brown fellows are best
During this month the bass will usually
be found in the deepest pools, and div
ing bats are in demand. Several firms
now make minnow that on being re-
trisved. Will go deep into the water
wriggling in a lifelike manner.

ton, THE MICHIGAN HOTEL is the ideal place for
a weekend automobile party. The roads leading
to New London from all points are excellent.
But most important is the fact that this hotel,
within little more than two hours distance of New
York, can furnish an attractive home at prices
which many people of refined tastes can afford to
paw, but who cannot afford similar luxuries in the
city of New York, or any other large city One not
only gets these luXurieS and comforts in New Lon
don and gets them at from one-half to one-third the
price, but gets measure of health in the simple life
of that town and its fresh, invigoratng beezeS
that New York and Boston cannot furnish.
Moreover, the prices at which you can secure
good home at THE MICHIGAN HOTEL are much
less than it would cost you to produce equal COM
forts and equal uxureS and an equal grade of living
in an individual home of your own.
