The fishing this season has been eNccllent-a'
Dayton particularly. During inc past "tch,
however the water at Dayton has become so 10"
that the sport there Is about over, ana anglers
have hrpun to turn their attention To the ILLINOIS
river No large strings have been caught aur,
inp the week that We have heard OF, eNcepl OF
"huIl. heads Among the rare fish caught al
Daytou was "A "silyer" eel some three Feet long,
calipht on last Saturday by an Ottawa man.
AS Hon Loosh has here quite reputation rs
an angler his late exploits at Aurora a. related
by the H,luM will be read with interest by MI
true sportsmen. That paper says; " Revenue
collector Croker W. s. Beauprc and another
gentleman ishei from the banks OF the FOX
Wednesday afternoon. The crowd on the brldEc
admired the manner in which the TWO latter gen,
tlemen handled the slender, graceful RODS, ana
cast their artificial flies away out into the center
of the river. Crookcr, however looked upon
that STYLE of fishing as little crooked, SO ne pul
on n rood honest anglc-w.rih, stamped him WIN
a dose Of saliva, and jabbing his pole INTO me
hank sat down and thought, ana brushed away
flies and waited for bite, in the same good Ola
way Isaac Walton was prone to fish many years
ago" .,.. s.,,,,,
On Saturday last wc met a gentleman RON
Rock Island who assured us that The plant OF
salmon in Rock river, made year or Two ago
had brrn very successful, and that salmon weigh
inc from two to three pounds were being caught
at the Moline dam in quite large numbers AS
nlauts have been made in both orr rivers the
success Of the experiment IN Rock river VIII DC
gladly noted,
But At present as none have been seen in our
rivers, many fisherman have believed that plant
of bass and pike, Ash native to these "atcls
would be vastly better than Of fish not native. Al
Aurora they have taken this view OF the ease,
and in few days, the Hcraid says, large pant
will he made in Fox river, consisting oi black
bass, wall eyed pike and cruppy-thc young h,h
being from three TO four inches long. In thrld
a much larger number of smaller I'm WI hr
turned loose in the Fox.
The utility Of tine fish "shoo'' a. D''l"n Las
been frequently questioned, and one day Ibis
week Mr.. Horace Hull saw the practical ann
yofU A fish he tells us made IN his presence
three different attempts TO climb 1t, and was racl
time unable 10 do so, the water carrying hun
back when about onc-thrd the distance han been
assembled. The shoot should be provided with
upright pieces of boards extending from either
side, in ladder style, forming eddics in which the
fish may rest in the ascent such Is the form OF
all fish shoots in dams in the eastern states aud
arc the only ones successful.
