Fish and Fishermen.

Trout are caught in the Truckee
River, New, so easily that any one
with bit of crooked wire tied to a
stick can get basketful.
Winter fishing in Lake Manitoba
has become quite an Industry, several
hundred persons being engaged in it.
The fish is sold on the ice at cent
and quarter pound, or three cents
delivered at the railway.
In Lord Mansfield s fishing grounds,
near Scone Palace on the Tay, sal
mon weighing eighty pounds was re-
Gently taken. 1t was returned to its
element. The heaviest Tay fish on
record weighed seventy pounds.
In 1872 1000 marked salmon were
turned into the Weser, but not until
recently was the first capture reported.
The fish was taken near the place
where it was put into the water. 1t
weighed thirty pounds, and its marks
showed THAI it was thirteen years old
in 1872.
A race between trout and water
snake was recently witnessed near
Oswego, N. Y. The fish was on It's
spawning ground, and kept swimming
about in circle, little in advance
of its pursuer. The snake finally
caught the fish by the tail, but the
trout had the use of its fins, and kept
its body well ahead of the snake. The
snake then backed up toward shore,
and with one final effort drew the fish
out of the water and swallowed it.
