In playing a rainbow, be on the alertto lower the rod-tip quickly when hejumps—a rainbow doesnt simply strug-gle about on the surface of the water,but goes a clear two feet or moreinto the air. Lowering the tip lessensthe strain of pulling the sunken loop ofline through the water after him as hegoes up, and also prevents the chance ofhis breaking the leader by falling on itwhen he comes down. The tackle that you have probablybeen using for Eastern brook trout willdo for rainbow. For river fishing, anine-foot, five-and-a-quarter-ounce rod. Copyrigh Francis R. Steel. CHANGING FLIES gives plenty of casting power withoutundue weight or unwieldy length. Thesame rod will do for creek fishing, al-though a shorter and lighter one is bet-ter, because a short rod can be castmore easily where the trees hang lowover the water and because a light rodworks better with the very thin leadersand small flies which are best for thissort of fishing. To balance well, thereel should be of about the same weightas the rod. By all means put it on so that thehandle is to the right, when the guidesare up. In playing a fish with the reelin this position the rod is bent in theopposite way from that caused by draw-ing the line from the water in casting.
