42 THE SUCKER.
white belly, and fins tinged with yellowish red. His
length is usually from five to nine or ten inches,
though in some places he grows larger. The tools
used in fishing him are the usual trout tackle and rod,
baited with the common angle worm in the spring,
or grasshoppers in summer. They are also taken in
summer with the different artificial flies made for
trout. In spring and fall they bite at worms only.
In winter they are taken in lakes and ponds by
making a hole in the ice, and baiting with cheese,
for the want of worms.
The Sucker.
There are a great many different species of the
sucker, and some of them will not bite or nibble at
any bait whatever. He is usually a white silvery
fish with dark spine, and a peculiar puckery mouth.
He goes by various names in different parts of the
country, and frequents almost every stream and lake,
large or small, throughout the Union. The kind that
does not bite is sometimes taken with wire slip-noose,
but as that is not legitimate sport, we do not deem
it necessary to particularize the manner. The regular trout tackle and hooks are used in fishing the
iucker everywhere, and worms are the proper bait,
though he will bite at shad-roe in the spring season.
There is a kind of black sucker, taken in Lake Erie,
which goes by the name of the shoemaker. A red-
tail sucker in some of the Western rivers is called
the red-horse. A long species of sucker in the Ohio
