34 THE BLACK TROUT.
the Southern states. One peculiarity of this fish, ea.
tirely different from the black bass, is that they meditate, at times, near the surface of the water, getting
near logs or lilly-pads, so they can dive out of the
way at the least alarm. In this position they are
baited with success with a small fish called the horny
head. The ordinary tackle used for the black trcut
is similar to bass tackle, viz.: a pliable rod eight or
ten feet long, with a silk, grass or flax line, and reel

strong gut leaders. For bait, the minnow, und the
Killey fish, or the roach is better when you can get it.

Artificial bait is often used in taking the black trout,
as follows—a fancy fly made in red and white colore,
either feathers or flannel, and fixed on a Limerick
salmon hook No. 3 or 4. This should be attached
to a long line; and with a light reed pole, the sportsman should whip it along on the water, when the
fish will dart at it and get hooked. The time for
fishing the black trout is from April until June, and
from September down to winter weather. They
spawn in July and August, and do not bite at all w
those months.
