The morning call., 1893-09-17

and, acc ccordiDg to John Sammi, the black
gnat will be found killer mornings ana
evenings. When the weather Is not
stormy, the morning and evening nshlng
at San Andreas Lake is coed also, and a
haif-pornder caught at this time VIII give
an angler by far u hotter fight than nsh
SIX times that weight caught In the months
of July and August.
john Gallagher has written TO Jonathan
Butler of Hermitage fame that the Eel
RIVER, which emDties into the ocean near
Eureka, Humboldt County. is now the
place Tor anglers who love to cast ny
over RIFLES under which steel heads
hide.
Mr.. Gallagher says that the river In the
vicinity OF Scotia is literally swarmiDg

Ing small hsh on flies and large ones by
means Of spooning. Last Monday Gal
lagner landed four salmon weighing, re-
spectlvely. 10. Is. 1S1A and % pounds. DE
sia!es that it is the sport Of kings and that
any anger VINO desires good fun should
not miss the present opportunity on the
Eel.
The writer had the pleasure OF casting
an eye and line on the beautiful Irnckee
River last week, and, indeed. more en-
chanting stream than the famous mount
ain trout resort would be diff ult to find
west OF the Rockies. 1t is no wonder tnat
a stubborn fight against the dumping Of
sawdust, shavlngs and scantlngs by the
thousand into this anglers paradise.
The bottom of the river is at the present
time literally carpet Of sawdust and
shavings, resulting from the continuous
dumping OF Truckee and Boca lumber
mills.
The Truekee Company. in years that
nave passed, laughed al the warnings OF
the Commissioners and openly bOasted
that no law could compel them TO desist
dlscharging sawdust and other deleterlous
matter into tile river
Inc present board has, however, con-
cluded to teach tie law-breakers a Lesson
when, If they should remain disobedient
scholars, VIII cost them ten times the sum
that VIII be required to construct Tecep-
tacie IN which sawdust and other refuse
matter can be disposed Of without having
TO feed II TO the fishes.
The Truckee company has at last de-
cided that the Commissioners mean busi-
ness, and although it has not as yet made
any preparations TO destroy the sawdust
and shavings of the mills, it has been no.
tlctd that during the past few weeks the
river between Truekee and boca has been
comparatively free from a deluge of stuff
which to great extent has ruined the
1shing on the river. The people of
Iruckee state that the company does not
intend To burn its saWdust. but will pile ii
up in plares where the winter floods will
wash 1t into the river. However, time will
decide what the Fish Commissioners can
do IN obliteraling nuisance which has
been Tor years an eyesore To the residents
II Truckee and vicinity.
Angling on the east side OF Burkhalter,
a station few miles from B9ca, has been
exceptionally good recently. Rainbow

pounds, have been taken on flies much

cellent condition, and Mr. Stanton states
that they were delicious and exceedingly
nutritious. particularly the whopper which
scaled so pounds.
