Fish and Fishing important needs; but even from such a descrip- tion, with a very httle practice, any intelligent angler will be able to take a lure Sd'^Lu^ri''^'' where fish are, and catch them. Spoon and minnow lures are used mostly for bass, mascalonge, pike, pickerel, various trout, and, in some regions, salmon. The angler, if strange to the locality, should endeavor, first, to find out a local boatman, guide, or native an- gler, and question him regarding the fish, what they are, where they lie, what bait they are caught Guides usually insist that their methods, baits and themselves are the only means of getting fish.
