Show HOW TO CATCH TROUT. - In the small, swift-running brooks that tumble over rocks and sunken tree ' trunks, where the water swirls in ' foamy circles, the tackle should be of . the lightest and daintiest description a four-ounce, eight-foot rod that Is not too long and getting everlastingly entangled en-tangled overhead; that is easy to guide through brambles and laurel bushes ." uch a rod is invaluable. Have the line to match the thinnest and lightest in .weight; alto have the reel very, small, . . . ' . with a stiff click to retard any rushes under low branches or fallen logs. Trout always dart off, If possible, to hiding places where it is difficult to dislodge dis-lodge or get at them. The best leader for this fishing should be very fine indeed, in-deed, and only three feet long, as it often happena that the tip cannot be raised because of overhanging branches, and a long leader cannot be reeled in close enough to get the net under the fish. A willow net with rubber ring to fit on the -wrist Is advisable; especially so when the fish run to a good size, of from ten to fifteen inches, and it often happens that when such a fish Is hooked there 1 no place In sight .where l one cah lead him out of the water. on I to the beach. The hooks cannot be too small, and a liberal number should be supplied, those tied to a fine snell of the same thickness as the leader. This completes the outfit. It Is a great mistake to use split shot to sink, the worm. kThe bait should at all times float on the surface like a fly. Trout always rise to a worm (and will never follow it to the bed mT the brook, ven in deep water), providing provid-ing the angler is out of sight. In baiting the hook never put on .. great bunch of three or four worms; l is not half as effective aa a small singfe Jive worm. "With a bis; bunch coma tlad must elapse before the fish swallows' it, and then if a small fish is landed he has to be killed to extract the hook. Large fish will swim around a bunch of worms as if doubtful about touching it, because in nature no such thihg happens, hap-pens, whereas a single worm only half impaled on the hook with the tail wriggling wrig-gling around arouses an instant desire to seise it quickly. To properly hook a worm it should ;be worked right over the hook until It Is entirely covered. That - will nearly insure the- barb's piercing the lips instead of the hook being be-ing swallowed.
