In favourable waters, however, it should be aboon to the fisherman, as it thrives in waterswhere \k\<i fario would not do nearly so well, ifat all. A mere trickle of water through a pondseems to be all that is necessary to its well-being,and it grows much more quickly than othertrout. The .same patterns of flies as are used forother trout should be used for the rainbow,and in the waters stocked with them in Englandthey seem to rise freely and boldly. As the rainbow spawn usually in February andMarch, they should not be fished for fromJanuary to June. They recover from Rainbow Trout. rainbow has been tried, the same results havefollowed. When it has been introduced intowarm waters, as in the North Island in NewZealand and in the .Southern States of EasternAmerica, it has done well; when it has beenput into cold waters, as in the South Islandin New Zealand and in the Northern Statesof Eastern America, it has disappeared. Itseems also to disappear from shallow swiftstreams when introduced into them. Were these facts kept in mind by those whostock waters, and those who publish andcomment upon the reports of such attempts,much of the confusion and mystery whichnow apparently surrounds the rainbow woulddisappear. The probability is that in warmlakes and ponds and deep sluggish rivers,which do not get a rush of snow water in thewinter, this fish will do well in the South ofEngland, but it is still more probable that it willnever thrive in the North.
