he finally had hobby, and that ms
whole heart was in 1t. He is deriving
any amount of real pleasure from 1t.
too There is not the slightest doubt
that he has had more genuine niUy.-
this Summer. especially since he took
on Babb as an instructor and COM
panion, than any time since his care
free days as a youth in the Vermont
hills. 1t seems as though he just can
not get enough of trout fishing. He
has been after bass in a nearby lake
once or twice, but his thirst has been
for the willy trout-the gamest of them
all.
1t took him a long time to learn
how to play--to play and like it. He
was 56 years old last month. and he
hasn't done much except work and
study since he reached his 20s.
Mr.. Coolidge is looking stronger and
healthier. He seems happier He is
getting more fun out of life, even
though he still is President. No one
is more jubilant over it all than is Mrs.
Coolidge. She has always wanted him
to play more. to get some kind of a
hobby. anything to get him away from
his work and his serious thoughts.

MR.. COOLIDGE recently said to this
AVA writer that he has discovered that
fishing gives him an incentive to gel
out in the open and to stay there for
long periods. 1t gives him an interest
in bodily exercise and fresh air.
President Coolidge is taking his fish
ing seriously. He has entered upon II
with the customary Coolidge deliberate
ness. That is his way of doing things

fishing expeditions, and when he dis
covered that the President wasn't going
to be satisfied until he learned how to
fish right. he suggested Babb as a
teacher. Startling previously had been
fishing with Babb. and he had occasion
to know there was no mistake about the
latter's skill The secret service man
had taken some lessons on the sly in
dry-f1y casting and he was most enthu-
siastic when he urged the President to
try it.
THE President soon formed a strong
attachment for this man of the
North woods. He has learned much
from him and expects to learn more. He
has found that Babe is man of strong
character and thas he knows about
many things other than dry-f1y fishing.
This attachment is very similar to the
one the President formed on his vaca-
ton in the Adirondack Mountains two
years ago for Osmun Doty, who served
then as his guide and outdoors COM
panion. Doty was soft spoken and not
talkative and was a trifie awed by being
so close to the President Otherwise
these two men who struck the fancy of
President Coolidge are very much alike,
although Babb is by far more expert as
a fly fisherman.
Dry-fly fishing differs from ordinary
wet-ny fishing. The fly, line and leader
must float on the surface of the water.
It must be remembered that the trout
lies always with hce'' up stream. Thus
the fly represents natural fly or

traits that those intrusted with the
responsibility of getting a fishing in
structor and companion for the Presi-
Gent hesitating about engaging Babb
There was no question about hts be-
ing the best fisherman in this part
of the country. Besides, he is intelli-
gent, Is versed in woodcraft, knows
lover of nature.
Moreover. he has reputation of
knowing the Bruls river better than
country. He was just the man for the
President, with these reservations
1t was thought at first that John
La Rogue, the half-breed Chippewa
Indian, who has been one of the Brule
guides for many years, would fill the
bill. But La Rogue is not fisherman.
He is guide and a boatman. He is
skilled at handling canoe, and knows
the trails and the best fishing holes,
but he is not verSed in the finer arts
of fishing Like all Indians, his idea
Of fishing is to catch fish to eat. 1t
makes no difference how you land them
or what you use to entice them to your
hook. just as long as you catch them.
Indians are interesting in this re-
spect They are unlike the white man,
to the extent that they do not fish for
the love of the sport. With them it is
means of providing food. They will
catch only the fish needed for food at
one time.
John La Rogue has been helpful to
the President only as boatman and
guide. AS a matter of fact he knew no
more about the finer points of angling
than did the probably not so
much. He knew where the fish could
b. found and the hours when they
would be biting the best, and he has

first impressed with Babb They were
on the boat landing in front Of Cedar
Island Lodge Babb was using some oil
belonging to the President. It had
been sent to him and was supposed to
be the last word in such oils. Babb
wanted to use his own concoction, but
the President insisted on his. Babb
did not argue further, but he was not
careful or sparing in his use of the
Oil. He not only applied it overgener-
ouSly. but he spilled quantity on the
ground. The President waited until he
had finished and then asked for the
can of oil. After scrutiniZing it closely
he remarked You overlooked some
How'd that happen?"
Later that day there were more flies
and leaders to be oiled. The President
and Babb were in the canoe, far up the
Brule. Babb started to use his OIL but
again the President insisted on his own
and handed the can to Babb. The
President then turned his attention to
casting, and while his back was turned
Babb quickly put the Presidents oil
aside and substituted his own article.
When he had finished the job he re-
marked to the President, who all the
while had had his back to him and ap-
parently had been intent on fishing,
that he was finished.
Without turning his heal and con-
tinuing his casting as he spoke, the
President said You are mighty stub
born, aren't you?"
Il have always been told so, but what
makes you think SOP" Babb asked.

dent has used that phrase many times
since, while Babb was teaching him.
The President did get Babb to go
through his fishing things that very
night. Babb told the President that
he never saw so much and such a
variety of junk. All sorts of spoons
and hooks and other contraptions to
lure fish. He culled out what he
thought was worth while, and the re-
mainder he put in a pile.
The President had received ever so
many presents in the form of fishing
tackle, and purchased some himself.
To discard all theSe things, some OF
them quite costly. just because they
were frowned upon by his instructor,
did not wholly conform to his ideas OF
thrift. His New England training re-
ceived a terrible jolt when he finally
ordered the things thrown into the
junk heap.
This breaking away from traditions
and training of economical living
was proof in itself that Calvin Coolidge

that the President was terrible when
he took him as a pupil. "All he knew
about fishing then was to catch fish,"
Babb explained. 'He might Just as
we'll have used a shotgun, If that was
all he wanted"
But Babb thinks differently of him
now. He contends that the President
possesses all the traits and character
:ssicS that go t0vSr6 ing . ft5Ser-
man-patience, persistence ana quick
eye. He only needed the heart for the
sport and more skill. Now he has them

to the North woods for his va
cation, has developed into a

learn how to play a rank amateur with
the rod and reel No longer does he
fish merely for fish. He now fishes for
the love of the sport itself and for the
thrill and exercise 1t affords him.
The President has long since aban-
dcned the use of angle woTnS as bait.
He used them before he started to ac-
quire the genuine sportsman's love OF
fishing AS he has progressed. and
grown more skillful, and as his devotlcr.
has become more intense, he has cast
aside spoons, and spinnefs. and all other
such devices to coax fish to his line.
He has graduated from all that. He
is now in the class of the f1y fisher
men-dry flies. That is why ne no
longer is in the bush league OF anglers.
That is why he is now looked upon as
real fisherman.
Among the experts in this section
land there are many fly fishing is the
real sportSnan's way OF taking game
fish from the water, especially dry-ny
fishing. That is recognized as real
angling. 1t is an art in itself. and is
considered to be the acme of the sport. 1t

man to become proficient in the art of
handling and placing dry fly, and, &C
cording to those who have been watch

took up this scientific manner of an

developed remarkably well, and has
demonstrated skill and deftness that

other insect floating down the stream,
and that intricate knack of making the
dry fly initiate the movements of the
natural fly or other insect in its efforts
to leave the water is one of the most
difficult parts of this scientific form of
fishing. To place the fly on the surface
of the water is real art. 1t must be
done in such manner as to give the
impression that it is natural insect
alighting. The trout Is wise and willy.
1t must be terribly hungry to be easily
fooled.
There is no clement of luck in dry
fly fishing. 1t is simply the study of
nt-:re and the habits of fish and
knowledge of how to cast properly.
There are hundreds of different kinds
of flies on the market The size of the
fly used is of greater importance than
the kind of fly used. owing to the size
of insect life on the water being f1shed.
The fly must be oiled and also the
leader to keep them af1oat on the sur
face The kind of oil and the method
OF applying it are all part OF scien-
tific fishing.
Babb makes his own oil. He uses
deer fat and olive oil and something
else he keeps secret. Sportsmen love
to have such secrets.
It was in relation to the oiling of
! flies and leaders that the President was

through these wilds for decades. He
has worked in lumber camps. He has
seen life in its crudest and hardest

Presidents mean nothing to this out
doorsman, and he has made no allow

course of his instruction just because
he happened to be in his exalted posi-
