“SURE TRICK FOR CATCHING WALLEYED PIKE AND NORTHERN PIKE FISHING THROUGH THE ICE IN THE WINTER

This young fellow has a twelve pound walleyed pike taken by the blood flag method through four feet of ice.

I learned this method of taking walleyed pike or so called yellow pike in Saskatchewan during the winter, fishing through four feet of ice. In winter fishing through the ice the water under the ice is of course very cold. This ex-tremely cold water slows up the action of fish as well as their digestive sys-tem. A minnow eaten by a fish may lay in a fish’s stomach for weeks without digesting in real cold water. Hence you have to have a lure that will really incite a fish to bite during very cold weather. The blood flag method just never misses in winter fishing for such fish as walleyed pike and northern pike. Here is how it is done. Take a piece of light weight cotton percale cloth in orange color. Cut a small tapered piece off from it about two inches long and a fourth of an inch wide at its widest point. Take orange or red thread and with a needle put the thread through the widest end of the flag. Then sew the thread through the front of the large top fin or dorsal fin of a suitable min¬now and tie the thread ends together. Leave about a half inch of thread between the fin and the orange flag. Hook the minnow as you desire and lower it to the right fishing depth. Weight the line so that your bobber barely floats. This way as soon as you get the slightest bite on the minnow you will notice it. The orange flag trailing off the side of the minnow as it swims around gives the fish the im¬pression that the minnow is wounded and they will strike it when they would not even pay any attention to a minnow without the orange flag.

USING UNDERWATER LIGHTS TO ATTRACT FISH

Nearly all fresh water game fish as well as saltwater fish are at¬tracted by underwater lights. Yellow, orange, and red lights work like magic. White lights not at all or very poorly. In order to get light under water you must use a gas and waterproof type of electric light fixture such as used in showers or in paint spray booths. The cord letting the light down into the water must be waterproof rubberized cord and all connections to the fixture must be carefully covered with waterproof rubber tape. You can use batteries or a small gen¬erator for the power source in your boat.

Japanese commercial fishermen now use underwater colored lights almost entirely to attract and congregate salt water fish of all kinds including salmon in areas for netting.

Colored lights quickly concentrate such fresh water fish as walleyed pike, black bass, northern pike, crappies, bluegills, perch, stream trout and lake trout and practically all salt water fish including tarpon, yellowtail, striped bass, grouper, snook, sailfish and marlin.”
