It is a clean workmanlike manner of taking trout. If they will not touch a fly, then perhaps a long cast with a cricket or a moth or a stone fly or gnat or grasshopper or even a beetle may raise the brooding fish. Perhaps he needs the sparkle of a spinner, perhaps the undulating of a humble hackle, perhaps the ventral fin of a shiner or of his own kind, perhaps a strip of skin from the neck of a pullet, or he may demand a min- now, or, alas, a mouse. This Utter tidbit I have never been able to bring myself to use except when And no doubt I have lost many a big trout by my squeamish- but when it comes to using the more highly organized creatures as lures I revolt. Nothing ever dis- gusted me so much as the spectacle of a huge pike taken on a Often in August, when the water is several degrees hotter on the face than on the bottom, trout seek the spring holes, and often nothing can induce them to rise through the strata of lukewarm water to take a surface fly. Then your cut and dried sniffs, curses his luck and goes home. Yet, a red fly sunk where, through intimate knowledge of the bottom of the lake or river, the angler knows there is a spring will bring the lurking trout spring- up with peculiar savagery- Robert W.

Similarly the Gila wood- peckers and gilded flickers have no . assurance that their holes in the are their own until after Santa Moore, the screech owls and pygmy owls have been established in comfort. Possession is all the law there is in the Arizona cactus and desert, and in case of a dispute the owls eat lit- chipmunks and flickers anyway. All day in the cool depths of his hole the screech owl hides from the heat and glare. As the sun sinks he comes out and flits silently toward the river bottom, where the mice and kangaroo rats are already be- ginning to play on the sand patches and to hustle through the willows and thickets. The quail and smaller birds arc hid away in the bushes, and around the old logs and stumps great yellow scorpions and beetles are picking their way. At the slightest movement of a blade of grass the screech owl swoops to the ground, and when he is not ranging the flats for he is searching bunches of mis- and dense mesquite trees for the birds which lie hidden here. He does not scorn the scorpion and beetles, nor yet grasshoppers and smaller bugs. At the same time he will tackle a bush rabbit or twitch a pocket gopher from his hole by the head. He swallows his prey whole and after digestion has taken place throws up the bones and fur in the shape of pellets. It is by looking for pellets beneath wood- holes in cottonwoods and that naturalists are able to locate the homes of these owls. Country Life In America.
