FANCY FISHING.
THE PISCATORIAL bELIGRTS NOW TO BIZ FOUND
AT THE LAKE-JvDGR RISING AS An
ANGLER-wRRRE IT, GET TACKLE.

When Dick Rising starts for Lake Bigler to
Etake look about, it is q pretty we'll establish
ed fact that the fishing season is fairly opened.
! When We speak Of the fisherman, We say Dick
Rising, but when he 10 on the Bench with
capital Z, he is the Hon. Richard Rising, and
he is considered as mighty thorough, whether
deciding complicated eases which csme into
the meshes of the law, or snatching speckled
trout out of one Of the gurgiing streams that
Cow into the lake.
| RISING TO THE FORE
| All the old fishermen about here think it
useless to Look for good fishing before Dick
Rising I've are now speaking Of the fisher
mani gets on The ground. He will be there
one may be Sire i that a. soon as the first
half dezen trout begin to leap in the streams,
aud he never allows anybody to get ahead Of
him. He is also the last to leave the fishing
grounds, and az soon as he quits the noun
tains, no man who wishes to be considered an
expert, remains to cast fly ever the pools:

Yesterday, said he liked the locks of the
ground. He Of course meant the water but be

THE FISH ALL READY
| 1t is q notorious TACT that for couple of
| wseks past the fish have been dspsrting them
sases IN the streams which are fed by the
melting SHOWS Of the mountains, and some
are Just itching for the pan. There we're
never SO many trout there before, and al
Irish friend who came down yesterday, re-
marked:
'The wather's thick wild 'em in the lake,
and they jostle each other in the strames. "
An announcement like the above will start
every old fisherman in this section for Glen
brook, and their friends down this way will
take the fryiBgpan down off the hook in an
ticipation of the arrival of boxes of fine fish
from the lake. 1t is in fact, not careessly to
be forgotten, however, that the men who make
the biggest promises about sending down fish.
are As a general rule the last men to catch
any.
THE TIsHERMANs OUTFIT.
We have always held that AN old pole such |
as one can cut anywhere in the woods, and !
ten cents worth Of tackle fills all the require
msnts; but the fish around about Lake Big. |
Ter have been fooled with SO much that it re- |
quircs the best appliances that money can
buy t. lay them in the wicker basket 1t is
useless for man to 90 up to the lake without
he has the parapheralia for the work Fox
has just laid in as fine lot Of fishing tackle as
can be found anywhere. His poles range
from the cane pole, price 81, to the elaborate
split bamboo, price So5. Gen. Batterman
bought split bamboo yesterday to bamboozls
the trsut in Hope Valley with good pole
in sections, all geared, ferreled and easy to
take apart and pack can be got all the way
from four to ten dollars. The lines come
separate and are Of all kinds, from the delicate
threads for minnews up to the clothes lines
which travellers use for the big lake trout.
He has also an assortment of grass lines and
a grailed enamled line, which although as ine
as needle, will hold 80 pound trout (if you
catch him.
1t seems as if people must be crazy to set

Production. Old fishermen, however, say that .
here must be method in the flies or there is I
