PIKE AND CHUB. 41
belly white, and the head of a brownish color, mottled with green. This fish is taken in great abundance in some of the Western lakes and rivers, including the Susquehanna and its tributary streams,
and in the valley of the Mohawk is called the Mohawk pike. He is exceedingly voracious, and with
proper tackle and bait is easily caught. A bass rod
and tackle is the proper one, with Limerick salmon
hook Nos. 4 or 5. The bait should be a live minnow
or shiner. The size of the fish varies from ten to
twelve inches in length, weighing from two or three
pounds to ten, twelve and even tAventy pounds. In
rivers they frequent the neighborhood of swift running water, and in lakes they are found in deep holes,
and under weeds, stumps, &c. The yellow pike is
an excellent table fish, and highly prized at the
West, where they are caught in gre^t abundance.
It spawns in April and May.
The Chub.
This fish is not very common, ana. being exceedingly timid and scary, is seldom taken except by experienced anglers. He is found in the streams and
ponds of Western Massachusetts, in Otsego Lake,
N. Y., the Passaic river, N. J., and in some parts of
Pennsylvania. He conceals himself in deep holes,
under projecting ledges of rocks, roots of trees, &c,
and to fish for him successfully, it is necessary to get
a position near some such place as one of these. The
chub has a large head, greenish back, silvery sides,
