Excerpt from Black BassMilton Lake is a body of water about a mile square, with two outlets, one falling over a pictur esque stone dam twenty feet high into a stream about ten feet wide and the other outlet, a small stream ¿owing through a mill-gate to the Milton Mills. In each of these streams there are plenty of bass, but in the lake proper and in the little brook that flows into the upper end of the lake, they are in abundance. I pass the lake itself and follow the little stream for about half a mile until I come to White's Farm. This I have found to be the finest fishing ground. The stream is about eight een feet wide at the narrowest part and from fifty to sixty at its widest. It rises miles upon miles back in the country somewhere, and runs rippling and' chattering over the shallows, surging silently over the pools until it empties into the lake. I have never fished higher than White's Farm, being well satisfied with the sport obtained there, but the resident farmers tell me that there is even finer fishing up stream.Like the average fisherman, I am more or less superstitious, and having always had good luck at my favorite place (the edge of a fine piece of wood, which, by the way, contain a few wood cock), I do not care to seek further, and, perhaps, fare worse.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
