Ihe average trout fisherman is ant TO
talk much OF fishing fine and far off. &c
as II that were a prime requisite to good
sport, though such performance is a
rarity indeed. Early in the season.
when trout are to be found in the rapids
and rough water. there is little call
for skilled casting. as well-filled creels
of novices often attest 1t Is usually
IN the summer when the trout are in
the deep. clear pools with an eye out
for enemies human and otherwise that
there is a call for expert skill.
Even then the question Of flies and
leaders is often of more Importance
than Fishing fine and far off" II the
summer fisherman will use the finest
leaders and midge flies, a fair amount
of patience and average skill will often
bring results. Three fish taken under
conditions that call for such qualifica-
tions are more satisfactory to the true
trout fisherman than a dozen taken
where about all that Is required is to
drop hook in the water. The main
point when fishing still waters is to
keep out of sight. Usually there are
bushes that will afford shelter or high
banks will often allow the fly caster to
approach on all fours. OF course there
is far casting, such as possibly only
with the finest tackle and years of cE-
perience. Where experience is lacking
the only thing to do is. to make 1t up
with sagacity.
The white perch season is about over,
but quite number of yellow perch are
being taken from the Potomac this
week. Several rock were taken from
the river Yesterday morning off the
upper end of Analostan Island, though
most of the fishermen prefer TO go fur
ther up the river.
