Leitchfield, Ky.-Henry Cecil of Cecilia in a lake near his home has devised a most successful and novel way to catch fish, according to Roy Bond.
Cecil has a number of ducks that frequent this lake. He ties a short fishing line to the duck’s foot with the hook baited. The duck swims about the lake, fishing all over it. When a fish strikes he pulls the duck’s leg, and Mr. Duck, not understanding what this means, turns and flees to the shore just as fast as he can.
Cecil takes off the fish, rebaits the hook and throws the duck back into the lake to renew the fishing. He has a number of ducks fishing for him at the same time and has caught 100 pounds of fish this way.
