The few local trout fishermen who put
their trust in the fly, are getting ready for
business as sotn as tho present storm shall
clear. Three years ago fly fishing by
home anglers was unknown, and in fac.
only a few Of the dozen or more trout
brolls in GriSwold afford an opportunity
for fly casting. It has, however beer
proven that trout in some of the long
reaches of Broad brook will rise to the
fly. Last summer a local lover Of the
sport threw in a buck tail and a blue
bottle and was rewarded with o strike on
each fly. There was a man in the bor-
ough Friday showing handsome catch of
twenty that nearly filed his creel, he is
not q resident of JewAtt City, but has lived
in the town of Griswold for a considerable
number of years. When asked where he
caught such a fine string, he, being not
of the sort that says, "Oh, over in Willow
brook" told that they were caught Mon
day in Rattlesnak brook. This brook is
not a myth, it is largely on Will Terry s
farm, from whence it wanders off to the
| south and eventually gets into the town of
| Preston. All trout fishermen know IT,
| but few care to take the chances which a
trial of its water necessitates. Calvin
| Wilcox and Harry Lester knew the brook
well and fished it. but local Sportsman in
nlain give it a wide berth. The reason Is
| with raitiesnakes, as the man said Friday
| that the whole section round is infested
| Not the little three in a box, side show
| kind. but regular Mount Misery rattle
snakes with ears on them, and that wear
| spectacles."
But the fisherman in question gave up
| the secret to four men at the creamery
Friday. when from the back pocket of his
| coat he drew out a dozen long strips OF
| new what ash bark. With these tied
around his ankles he fishes Rattlesnake
brook with impunity.
