The trout spawns in the fall for

The usual catch averages three

states and parts OF Canada It is not
unusual to catch them from four 10
six pounds.
The trout will take about the
same kinds Of food as the black
bass. In the early spring after the
ice has passed away the best bait

but minnows. small frogs. grubs
mill reaches, crickets and various
and sundry artificial lures are all
alike to him.
II Is with the ny and the fy rod
however. that trout fishing is rated
