FISHING FROM THE BANK | |

FISHING FROM THE BANK
By C. VANIER
Nearly everyone who fishes from the bank of a river or creek has tried the expedient of sticking the butt of his pole into a hole in the ground so he would not have to hold it in his hands. Then, every time you pick up the pole to see whether you have a bite, the hole crumbles and you have to dig a new one. A couple of forked sticks, which you can cut on the spot, will remedy this difficulty and give you a much better pole holder besides.
Cut a fork-shaped prong about two feet long and rest your pole across it. To keep the butt from tilting up, cut another fork with one short and one long arm, like a figure “7,” and hook this over the butt of the rod to keep it down. You can now remove your pole and put it back again as often as you want. Hide the forks in the bushes near your favorite fishing hole and they will always be ready for you.
