Fine woolens and woolen blan

both are conducive to giving good
results.
L ukew arm w ater and very mild
suds are prescribed, and the thrve
rinse waters which follow washing
should be the same tem peruture

Woolens and blankets are not
soaked, but It ’s a good Idea to use
stain rem oval methods for spots
which need them. Any rubbing,
wringing,
twisting
or squeezing
motions should be avoided as these
will lock wool fibers and cause

There are several effective m eth
ods fo r hooking earthw orm s to
entice treut, and it's a m a tte r of
ind ividu al preference by the fish-
erm an which he uses. A ll methods
that take trout leave most of the
worm free of the hook so that the
b ait has plenty of w riggle.
One
of the most effective methods is
tc hook the worm by passing the
point and barb just beneath the
skin of the unsegmented band (cli-
tellu m ), which is located about a
th ird of the length of the w orm
from the head end.
This band is
somewhat g rea ter in d ia m e te r than
the rem ain d er of the w orm , which
makes hooking in this m anner
quite easy and the w orm rem ains
liv ely longer than when hooked
deeply.
When a fisherm an .has sm all
worms and the trout seem to pre-
! fer a banquet, two w orm s can be
t hooked in the above m anner, one
' from the head end and one fro m the
ta il end of the clitellu m .
Short
shank hooks with a round or
"m odel p erfe ct" bend w ith straight
point have been proven better than
the rolled-in point style hooks so
popular w ith b ait fisherm en.
