Good Fishing Should Be Had To-Day
in Tide Waters.

HI ii1C w dICGSs
There should be good fishing today st
| Point Reyes.
The fine weather Of the past week has
been welcomed by anglers, and the oppor-
tunity for good sport is very favorable.
There will undoubtedly be an exodus of
salmOn-ishers this morning from the city TO
the interior angling resorts. The streams
are in splendid condition and according 10
reports there are numbers Of fish waiting
an opportunity TO dash at a tempting piece
OF bTlght-colOred salmon roe.
Anglers must bear in mind, however,
| that fishing above tidewster is an offense,
| and the Commissioners are determined 10
| punish all persons detected catching fish
! above the line where The salt meets the
/ fresh.
/ Al Wilson. a sportsman and angler Who
/ is well known 10 the fraternity, will have
4 an opportunity II the very near future of
| distinguisn ing himself By arres,ing certain
/ individuals who persisteBtly break the laws
/ OF the Stale with spear and net. Mr.. Wilson
| has been appointed chief Of the fish patrol
and il goes without saying that a better
i man for the place could not be selected
from among the anglers and sportsmen of
4 this State.
] Wilson IS very lenient fellow, and will
overlook many little faults. but the man
/ who insists 10 raising his ire Will be taught
| lesson which may lingeT in his memory
| for many suns.
| There has been considerable angling done
recently IN Paper-mill Greek, between La
| guBitas and Point Reyes, aud ii is hoped
! that the Commissioners viii LOOK into the
! matter and have those people who persist
/ IN breaking the laws arrested.
1t is not right 10 kill ish when they are
! on their spawning beds and any person
| VINO Commits an offense of this kind should
be made an example Of. Certainly no
angler who loves the sport would take any
pleasure u Killing FISH above tidewaiers
| . lne lolloWing communication explains
