I find that a spinning bait which travels in all sorts of curious ways to be the most attractive; in fact, as; just said, the more it looks like a disabled and wounded fish the more likely is the jack to follow it. A dace in full health and strength when startled will shoot through the water like a flash, and Mr. Pike has sense enough to know that it is a lot of trouble to openly pursue that quarry, whereas a wounded one in trying to swim away from danger will turn from side to side and make all sorts of curious curves and twists in its endeavours to reach a place of safety.

Sometimes they will dash at almost anything, and lay hold with such right good will that it is almost impossible to miss them; but these chances do not often occur. Nowadays they are getting so very cautious and cunning, especially where...
