is concerned-has been that it is thoroughly
entitled to the appelatiOn All o0lS day,
yet on some occasions L have had excellent
luck on the opening day of the seaSOn.
The early months of this season should
give good results, as the streams are com
parativeiy low, and as a consequence the fish
have not been disturbed by the constant
freshets viii h are by no means uncommon
in this State during the winter season.
Trout have had ample opportunities CUR
ing the past winter TO spawn in both the
large and small rivers and expect to hear
OF good fishing in the latter part of the
season when the fingerlings, which l under
stand are very numerous this year, will have
grown to eight or nine inches in length.
1T is 4 mistaken idea Of some people
who I've heard frequently remark that
such and such stream haS been flShed to
death long before the months OF july and
August If those anglers who believe that
there are no fish to be caught in these
months would only exercise more caution in
their movements aud use better judgment
when dropping a well-Scoured worm or
grub into the headwaters of a go0d-looking
pool whose waters are darkened by pro-
jecting bank or rock, they would soon dis
cover an error which is very common, and
especially So with San Francscans.
"Fingerlings, by which | mean trout fry
about three inches long, are easily caught,
and thousands of them find their way into
the baskets OF amateur anglers, who seem

particularly on the opening of the season
These young trout are, in fact, almost
worthless as parrish, owing to their soft and
watery flavor If allowed to grow until they
arrive at eight inches in length they would
assume a flavor which no other species Of
freSh-water deniZenS can equal.
Yes, there are numerous small streams
which flow through adjoining counties that
afford excellent sport during the open sea-
son. | know of several pretty little streams,
which are comparatively unknown to the
fraternity of this city, that are always good
for a basket of fat, chunky little fellows"
AT this juncture the old Pacific Coast is
cipie of Walton was requested to unlock his
budget of streamlet treasures, and, although
rather reluctant at first TO eniigbten his
hearers on the ways and means" OF catch
ing little brOwnSides, he eventually, under the
influence ''of strong persuasion" burst the
lock that bound secret thoughts and gave
the following list Of streams in the near
counties, some of which, although teeming
with mountain beautirS, are seldom 1shed
by either country or city anglers, viz;

on to civilized ideas and he has Instituted
police force and levied tax on traders

The former pay 500 a year each, while
each native is made to pay sum equal TO
about fifty cents. With this the King has
erected palace, which contains one room
