AN EXCELLENT FLOAT FOR LIVE BAIT FISHING
Everyone, I presume, has gone trout fishing when nothing in his tackle-box would bring a rise, but still trout could be seen eagerly looking for some insects which dropped into the stream. You try putting some of these insects on your hook, but they are very delicate and after they have been in the water a few seconds the weight of the hook drags them under the surface and they look like anything but the insects they are.
Here is a kink to make this method of fishing practical: First, take a sound cork and cut a small piece three-eighths of an inch long and three-sixteenth: of an inch wide and of the same thickness. Round the edges so that the cross-section is egg-shaped. Now cut the gut of a snelled hook, as in Fig. 1, just below the knot. Soak the gut for a short time in water and then thread in a small-sized darning needle, as in Fig. 2. Bend the end back and run the needle lengthwise through the center of the cork. Slide the cork down to the end of the winding as in Fig.3. Unthread the needle and tie the loop in the end of the gut. Fig. 4 shows the way the hook looks when baited.
Now all that there is left to do is to get your fishing outfit and go to your favorite trout stream where I hope you will try out this little kink and come home with a good catch.
