Five Pound Bass
i
A lady who had never been fishing before caught a
five pound bass within two minutes after the live
bait hit the water. What, we would say, was an
accident.
If you purchase fire insurance from us and you
are pleased in every way, that’s no accident. That’s
what we have planned for you.

WHAT IS A CRAPPIE?
Hank Bradshaw, sportsman and
writer, calls him the Babe Ruth
of the pan fish for when a
crappie takes a fly it hits with
every ounce of power he’s got
just like' the Babe used to sock
a baseball.
The crappie is found in wat
ers east of the Rockies, and
when an angler seeks a substi
tute for larges fish, he looks for
crappies. They’ll fight with
reckless abandon until licked
to a gasping frazzle—and this
fish doesn’t often pull the
scales down much over a
pound!
Throughout the country the
crappie is called by many other
names: calico bass, speckled
perch, speckled bass. It bites
the year around on anything
that squirms, artificial or alive.
It likes a clean, hard bottom,
comfortably pillowed with veg
etation or brush, but will also
do well over mud.
Crappies may be distinguish
ed from other sunfishes by gen
eral appearance, as well as by
the long dorsal and anal fins,
which are nearly equal in size.
No one has much difficulty
making this differentation.
Where the trouble comes is
in distinguishing between the
two crappies—the black and
the white.
For the record, the black
crappie has a dorsal fin with
seven or eight spines. The white
crappie usually has six.
The black crappie’s mouth is
strongly oblique: that of the
white is only moderately so.
The color of the black crappie
is olive, the shade varying, cov
ered with dark green or black
ish spots and without distinct
pattern. Silvery olive is the col
or of the white crappie, and it
is mottled with dark green.
There are several faint vertical
bars on the flat sides which
aren’t on the adult black crap
pies.
Both varieties have white,
flaky meat, and are delicious
to eat.
Crappies stock well in most
ponds and lakes. It is often
recommended as the best fish
to stock in artificial lakes. They
make good running mates with
bass and northern pike.
Try night fly-fishing for
crappies if you want some new
thrills. They usually move into:
the shores to feed as the sun
goes down. But when a school
of crappies quit biting, there’s
no use arguing. You might as
well quit too.
