stream, the most likely places are under bushes, by the side of piles, under old trees overhanging the water, or under anything that can form a cover for trout. Sit down very quietly ten or fifteen yards above the place you have selected for fishing in. If the stream is shallow opposite where you sit, and then falls into a hole, all the better; get the right depth by trying, and then adjust the quill-float so that the bait will just miss the bottom; cut two or three worms in short pieces and throw them in some yards above you, and if the water is five or six feet deep they will go to the bottom below you, just where you want them; put your bait on, and then let it go down the stream, giving out line from the reel until the float is under the bushes. The trout will bite, one after another, without fear, and you can soon fish out all there are in the hole.
