IL. That seems to explain why HERssRr
SPENCER dill not use bright flies. One
angler. evidently u veteran. declares
that the size OF the lure Mt the surface
draws the salmon. and that 1t is in
different to colors. but this same au-
thority is inclined TO think that the
trout has n fancy. but capriclous
fancy, for colors: Que day he darts for
Il SILVER doctor" and the next he
spurns IL for black dog"
One enthusiast advances the view
that the fly most used on a stream will
catch the most hsh--that is to say, If
the angler sticks to ono kind he will in
the long run fill his basket. This an
gler once persisted in using n Jock
Scott" when local fishermen told him
It wouldn't do at all ana he made the
biggest catch OF the day.
\ warrantnble conclusion from the
British debate Is that salmon are color
blind and that trout may be connois-
seurs in color. what do our own an
glers think about the great question?
