Pome of these spotted channel catfish would rise to the bait with a swiftness that fairly anuuvd. At other times they aulkee and not until tho baited hook had floated down into the deeper part ot the pool would one ventu.e to strike. A few took the bait withe rt waa on top of the water. It Is a safe rule, however, to fish relatively deep, and to do so a cork and sinker are Uniost essential. Hy j reference la a short-shan- k hojk anq but one hook to the line. The use of two hooka to a line la a common practice, but there 1 always an Impression when using two books that one is fudging. My tutor in channel sat fishing via Uncle Daniel tttrayer, a pioneer Kansan, long since gathered unto a his fathers. Uncle Dan used stiff cane pole, a heavy line, large bobber and stiff, hook. About four Inches above tlia hook ho attached a heavy load sinker .to the line. Armed with this tackle, a burlap sack with a loop attached en he could carry the sack over his shoulder and permit it to dangle In the water, Uncle Dan would catch hla bait Shiners and placing a pair of pinchers in a pocked easy to reach (to use In de horning the fish), wade into the river we fished the MinneacaV.. Ho strung his minnows on the hook like one would string a worm, Tho middle of tho river was his path and It was his rule to flsli upstream. By the way, thut is a good inlet too, for channel. rut have nn uncanny way of hearing, soring or renting the angler if the angler Is upstream. Uncle Dan was careful about agitating the water when ipproaching a deep channel. He tried to drop the halt close to the bank near overhanging grass or brush. Invariably ha jerked In the oppoilte direction from that taken by tha flah after seising the bait. If .he suceeded in hooking a larg fUh ha worked It to shallow wit or tnd uaed tha aark aa a landing net. Invariably tha hooked fish would swim under tho auck.
