Meetings of United Anglers League.
Permit me to make a criticism about
the meetings of the United Anglers
League. Most members attend on Eek
PEREZ night in order to learn some
both salt water and fresh water.
AZ the latest meeting not an instructive
word was heard. with the exception Of n
discussion about the pound net hearing
before Brig. Gen. Bingham, which was
quite In order. the rest OF the evening was
drivel, together with funny ~? stories
! stale when Noah fshed from the Ark
The only thing which made members
sit up for a minute was an attack on one
or the speakers. an exhibition which was
in decidedly lad taste to say the least.
few speakers like Col. Simmons and
point, will save tho day, but save us from
any more such long winded. meaningless
fortunes as were inflicted on US on July

or minutes and then stick to the rule.

Sun6sh and Flies and Plugs.
| Robert Page Lincoln in to-day's sun
| discloses the information that sunfsh may
| be caught on artificial flies. and specifies
| the midges on No. II and No. l6 hooks.
| Which leads me to wonder II there Is
| anything a sunfsh can't be caught on.
| from No. l6 hook to a harpoon.
| In fishing over the shoals OF Greenwood
| Lake for small mouth bass tho little pests
| seem determined to beat tho bronze backs
| to It.
Last evening I was casting a surface
| plug well over six inches in length and on
| three successive casts over shoal !
| caught three sunfsh. One OF them was
| almost as large as the plug itself.
| To jump to another subject. why do
| those Preside anglers who are looking for
f., bass fishing at their back doors leave the
| confines OF greater New York at all ?
| There are numerous ponds containing big
mouth bass in the Borough OF Richmond.
| During n residence on Staten Island sew

| Brady's Pond and Cameron's Pond. The
