they hope to have the pleasure OF meeting
Charley Green, to teach that aged disciple
of Walton how to catch FISH without the
assistance CT a gilly.
During the trial at GuernPville, a week
or two ago. of the arrested fishermen who
were caught SEEMING on the Russian River,
g gentleman had occasion to visit the
Judges private room, and in a corner Of the
judicial chamber he saw two new spears
which were IN splendid order for salmon
stabbing.
Charley Ohm has been having gool fun at
Shelivile Of late. Reports from Sonoma
are that he caught nine trout" during the
week, and that his friend. Handsome"
Charley Prccht, "tEe dude Of the creeks"
wasted four pounds Of salmon roe on the
10th lust, aud was rewarded with one small
fish for his pains.
With the exception Of the License Col
lector. theirs are three Deputy Fish Com
mlssi0neTs drawing good salaries. Their
duties are TO see that fish and game are
protected during close seasons. Tunstead
and BaOcOck have established excellent
records since they took the oath OF office,
but the third deputy is comparatively I'M
known as an officer outside Of this city.
Two local anglers, Fairbanks and COOney,
caught two Sacramento River trout of
the narrOw-gauge wharf, Oakland, a few

OF the water with tie fish towing 1t to sea.
A boat was procured AM the fish landed. 1t
weighed 1872 pounds.
on Sunday, the 10th inst, there was a
big run Of anglers to Point Reyes. Terry,
Smith, ROndO, New man, Christensen, Nc
kenZie, McUIlan, Barker and half dozen
others tiShed only like anglers can on time
limit allowance, but caught more water
than fish. The sport viii not be good until
the fish lodge in the deep holes, then Will
come the tug-0f-War.
Anglers VINO take most to fishing for large
trout or salmon state that the only time
these fish can be caught with rod and line
near this city is IN the winter season, when
they are on the run from salt TO fresh water.
After the first Of April the streams are full
OF small IDgerlingS-Whlch afford
no sport to the angler, although as paldt-
able fishes they are preferable 10 their pro-
geuitOTs.
It is hoped that the Fish Commissioners
Will see that a screen Is built al the mouth
OF the tlume which feeds the paper-milS at
TaylOrVile. When the spent fishes are on
their return from the spawning beds three
fCurthS- Of them drop into the liume, from
which they have no opportunity of return
ing to the main creek. 1t IS the duty OF the
Commissioners to look into this matter.

Saturday night. Each carried six poles and

work fishing. Hall put out his six lines,
tended them all day, and nightfall found
him the proud p0ssessor OF two crabs and a
gum-boOt, which had fOuled one of the
hooks. Ward had better luck, and caught
his usual installment Of catfish. Ward saws
he would rather hook carp tnan any other
breed If fish known 10 anglers.
