from the hook. After a few minutes
of hard strain my assistant suddenly
became aware that the fish had left
his hook, and at the very moment of
escaping had contriyed to fasten the
hook deep into a log at the bottom
of the river.
Investigation with a pike pole
showed this to be the case. This trick
on the part of the bass is, of course,
familiar to all experienced anglers.
1t was fortunate in this case that Mr.
COUNSEL had contrived to get such
an accurate estimate OF the size Of
the fish before it escaped.
= X = <
THE young angler may well ask
= how it is that we are able to
know the size of a fish as soon as it
bites without even the slightest
glimpse Of 1t. To this I can merely
answer that we do know. 1t is,
suppose. an instinct. The young an
gler will get it himself II he goes on
fishing long enough.
Nor need it be supposed that there
is anything unusual or out of the way
in the means of escape adopted by
the particular bass in question. In
deed, have on various occasions
known the bass not merely to con-
trive to pass the hook into a log,
but even after it has been firmly
hooked to substitute a smaller fish
than itself.
recall in particular one occasion
when Mr.. COUNSEL called to me that
he had fish. I ran to his side at
once, encouraging and exhorting him
as did so. In this instance the fish
came toward the top Of the water
with a rush. We were both able to
distinguish it clearly as it moved be-
low the surface. 1t was magnifi-
cent black bass, measuring seventeen
inches from it's face to its tail and
weighing four and . half pounds. The
gleam of its scales as 1t shot through
the foaming water is a>sight that
shall not readily forget.
The fish dived low. Meantime, Mr..
Counsel had braced himself so as to
exert his full strength, and I placed
myself behind him, with my arms
around his body to prevent the fish
from dragging him into the stream.
BY this strategy the fish was thrown
clear up on the rock, where Mr..
COUNSEL attacked 1t at once and beat
the breath out of 1t with a boat hook.
But Judge of our surprise when We
found that the fish landed was not the
fish originally caught on the hook!
The bass had contrived in it's down.

the morning till 6 in the afternoon.
On such day as this the fish do not
bite. The experienced angler knows
this. He selects suitable tree, lies
down beneath it and waits. Nor do
the bass, oddly enough. bite on a
cloudy day. The bass dislike clouds.
| Very often the appearance of a single
cloud on the horizon is a sign for the
experienced angler to retire to a
quiet spot upon the bank and wait
till the cloud goes by. 1t has been
said that the bass bite well in the
rain. This is an error: They don't.
Another popular error that ought.
in the interest of the young angler.
to be dispelled is that the bass bite
in the evening: that is not so. The
,, bass loves the day. and at the first
sign of darkness 1t sinks to the bot
tom of the water from which it OBJ
stinately refuses to move.
I am well aware that the young
, angler might find himself seriously
discouraged at what has just been
said. What them" he might ask.
"do the bass never bite at all? Is
it never possible to get a bite from
them?" To this I answer very posi-
lively both that they do and it is.
The results, in fine, of the expert
ments carried on by Mr.. COUNSEL and
myself lead us to the conclusion that
the bass bites at midnight We offer
this only as a preliminary hypothesis,
for which perhaps more ample
verification will be found in the en-
suing season. We ourselves have
never fished till midnight. And we
observed that even the most per-
sistent angler, as the darkness
gathers around him, becomes dis
couraged, and, at some time before
midnight, quits.
Here he is in error. Our advice
to the angler in all such cases is te
keep on until midnight. The blaci
bass, which is chary Of biting in the
glare of the day and which dislike;
the cool of the evening, must, W.
argue, be just in the mood needles
at midnight.
Nor let the young angler run ava.
with the idea that the black bas
never bites in the daytime. If h
(the young angler) does this he mus
be hauled in again on the reel o
actual experience. They do and the.
have. 1 recall in particular one cas-,
in point in the experiments of Mr.
COUNSEL and myself.
