 Yesterday was model day for fishing and many took advantage of the fact and tried their luck on the lake with good suc- cess. At 3 o'clock there were seven boats with fishing parties about various parts of the lake, while about the shores were many more. Pickerel were the fish most sought after, but any other fish that chose to bite were taken and no questions asked. J. w. Douglass and Con Hauenstein brought in fine string of pickerel and some monster bullheads. o. B. Lane and D. J. Lynch displayed sev- en fine pickerel and the other fishermen fared we'll and were provided with material for dinner of fish to-day. The prospect for good fishing in the lake this season is better than for many previous years, and if the weather continues favorable there will be many fine catches reported.
