Katydids are very difficult to obtain in quantity sufficient for use as bait, on
account of their habits of living in trees. Once, when I was fishing among the
Thousand Islands, in the St. Lawrence River, I became weary of trolling for big
muskallonge that would not bite, and made the guide put me "here upon a
little rocky island, covered with small shrubbery and stunted trees. These I
found to be full of great, green, handsome katydids. I soon filled my
handkerchief with them, and in less than one hour's time caught a good string of
fish of assorted kinds, but principally fine bass.
Among other things, I caught the largest fresh-water eel I've ever seen; but
as I was dressed in summer- resort fishing clothes, and feared the effects of
eel slime on my trousers, I cut the eel loose, allowing him to depart in peace
with my hook in his mouth.
