It is just a bit amusing to hear a would-be professional fisherman telling how he "whipped" tho stream from its head to its mouth and never "got a rise." This very young man knows, iust as you do, that he "whipped" it with anywhere from two to six feet of line ; with the old reliable angle worn for bait, and the first thing he could find handy for a pole. By "not getting a rise" you also nnderstand that he failed to get what is technically known as a "bite," and if he had got one, It is altogether likely that the three-inch specimen, if seen rely hooked, wonld have sailed upward with twenty feet of line, unwound from the pole, into the limbs of a tree overhead from whence it is rescued after much exertion and some profanity. This is a result which frequently attends getting a "rise" of the sort the sporty young fisherman likes to talk about. But it is after all, a natural and altogether harmless style of fish talk. The young man enjoys it and we encourage him by listening, which gratifies him still more. We know this to be true, because wo have "whipped" a stream ourself.—Oil City Bli/.- aard.
