FOR TROLLY FISHERMEN
By JOHN CONNEL
Fishing with the trolly line is not especially a fine art, but once in a while I like to practice it, even when up among the bass and pickerel of the northern lakes. It is a relief to just loaf for a day and go after pan fish by a lazy man’s methods.
Now, my little Kink is right here: Most anglers use gut snelled hooks on their trolly line. I have found that the snells have a great habit of twisting themselves around the line, especially if there is the least bit of wave action in the water. So, instead of snells, I use plain hooks, fastened to the troiiy by a short bit of line. About a half inch from each hook I place a single small split shot sinker. This is just enough to keep the hooks from swinging and tangling with one another or with the trolly line. After that, just bait your hooks and “let her go.” Tie the end of your line to the little dingle bell and lie back and loaf, waiting for the tiny alarm to tell you when there is “something doing.”
