The gentlemen who have been selected a
committee Of arrangements for The fiy-casting
tournament. which will be held on May and 5,
have wisely concluded TO hold the contests on
Strawberry Hill Lake, which sheet Of water Is
within close proximity to the fair grounds.
Immediately following the con vention OF an
glers. which was held at the Palace Hotel last
month. Director. General de Young of the Mid.
winter Fair promised TO have constructed "a

the events could be held. but as time wore on

tournament. and the committee finally decided

fully -mbossed trout fly of gorgeous colors.
During he session long distance casting with
a rod used for salmon fishing was introduced
and Mr. Mansfield said that he did not know
exicty what distance an angler could cast as
ne had never seen salmon caught. Colonel
Edwards. who has some experience In salmon
fishing IN that beautiful stream which meanders
through the Berkeley University grounds,
thought that 100 feet would be the extreme
length of cast. Messrs Seibe Gocher and
Allen acknowledged that they had very
limited experience in salmon fishing, and con.
sequently they could not enighten the com
mlttee regarding the probable distance that
would be covered by what was termed "two-

120 feet would be about the limit and buoys
