How to Catch HeIgramites.


Helgramites are excellent bait for
bass, pickerel and other fresh water
fish. The following method for
catching them is recommended by
the -Sportsmen's Digest:
"a minnow sein, a garden hoe and
three men, or one man and two boys,
Is the secret of catching helgra-
mites. Find a shallow river rifle
and plant the sein in the current
where it is in any place from four
to eight inches deep,
zone at each end to hold it well
.slanted against the current and the
third party to stir the gravel and
heavy boulders well with the hoe
above the sein for a distance of eight
feet, so that the silt will be washed
into the sein. Every few minutes lift
the sein and the helgramites will be
found clinging there. They harbor
under the gravel and boulders and
drift down On the current when dis
lodged"
Sportsmanship
Sometimes an angler finds a good
stream or a good spot along the
beach where the luck is better than
usual and where the fish can be
taken in fairly good numbers. Should
he keep this information to him
self? There are some who will say
sure, by all means, but is this the
spirit of good sportsmanship? II
he is a true sport we believe he
will not keep this spot to himself
but that he will tell fishing friends
SO that they too may enjoy the sport
Some may contend that 'fndin's Is
keepin's," but we believe that the
great majority of anglers will BIZ
willing to share their good luck with
their brother anglers. No n car
use all the fish in a stream or IL
the ocean. Neither can one or TIVE
of his friends, and to share will
others is the true spirit of sports
manship.
