worms are sometimes used. The hooks should be
Nos. 1 to 3 trout. They bite most readily early in
the morning in shallow water near the shore, but are
often taken at mid-day on bars near to deep water.
At sundown the white perch may be found on the
sunny side of the stream, or lake, and will then bite
with the same eagerness as in the morning. His bittf
is different from that of the ordinary yellow perch,
as when he gets hold of the bait he drags the float
under and keeps it there. When fishing from a boat,
the best way is to drift along down the stream,
throwing your hook in every nook and corner; and
where you once get a bite, anchor your boat, and
fish as long as you have luck. You may be quite as
fortunate by rowing up the stream and trying the
same process over again. This fish always prefers
sunshine to shade.
The Smelt.
In the United States this fish seldom exceeds ten
inches in length, and the usual size is from five to
eight inches. In South America they grow to the
length of two feet, are semi-transparent, and are

American sailors at the Straits of Magellan were

of New Jersey and the ponds of Long Island. They
