More than one angler, old-time as well as be- ginner, has lost fish because attention wandered, Once you set the hook, all the skills of playing and landing a fish in fast water come into play, Since your lure is always downstream, you have to work against the current as well as the power of the fish. It can bea struggle. Thus, success of this meth- od is in the hands of the one MINOR BASEBALL By H. J.
