Draw down the first worm to meet the second, and the bait will move on the bottom with a natural motion. Paste composed of roe of the Salmon, taken out when freshly killed, washed careiuUy, and cleansed of all the impurities, the blood and fila- mentous matter, thoroughly dried in the air, salted with two ounces of rock-salt, and a quarter of an ounce of saltpetre to a pound of spawn, dried gently before a slow fire, or in an oven at a low heat, and then potted down and covered with melted lard or suet in eartiien pots, is a most murderous bait both for Trout or Salmon. When a few weeks old, it will cut out of the pots like stiiF cheese, and will adhere readily to the hook, though it is not amiss to bind it on with a slip of Salmon- colored floss silk. This will be found as effective for Brook Trout as for Salmon; and it is not unworthy of remark that the roe of the melter will most surely take the female, and that of the spawner the male fish. It has been hence suggested that if people will fish on the spawning beds when the fish are in the act of breeding, by using the female spawn or roc, they will do much less mischief than by any other mode, though it is little probable that the gothic savages who resort to those practices; at all will trouble themselves so far as even to en- deavor to do a minimum of mischief. Lastly, the Minnow, the Shiner, the Smelt, the Sparling or Athe- rine, and above all, the young Parr, are very killing baits, especially when there is a freshet in the stream, for the Salmon, upon spinning- tackle. * A powerful long rod should be used for this mode of fishing; the line and reel as before, but there shou
