TROUT ARE PLENTIFUL.
The Streams and Lakes Around
Truckee are Well Stocked.

There are twenty three fishermen 1
Lake Tahoe at the present time. one Ct
whom, Joe Snow. well known to all
| who visit that place, is catching from
eighty-five to u hundred pounds OF
fish day. The amount Of the slaugh-
ter can be estimated 10y this. Reports
from Independence lake are TO the eff
feet that it is literally swarming with
trout this year, and as it is more diff
ficult of access than Bonner and Ia
hoe it will 10 less fished. There are
three fishermen on the lake now, who
send down a sledload of trout to True
kee about twice a week.
Sport@men are bagging fair-sized
strings from Bonner Creek and the
Truckee river although it will be "A
month yet before the trout will ris" to
fly There never were so many trout
in Bonner creek as there are this year,
and they can be seen from the banks
by hundreds. The catches so far have
been almost all large fish, from three
quarters If a pouud to two pounds,
and most of them around Truckee
have been taken out of this creek
One stream in the neighborhood of
Truclee that promises to furnish eX-
cellent sport this seasons Alder creek
1t is three miles from town, but as it
has been exceptionally high It
has been fished out very little his
year. A walk along the banks of this
stream is revelation. In the quieter
pools one can scarcely see the bottom
for the fish. These fish are Eastern
brook trout. which We're placed there
six years ago. The have propagated
rapidly and have been jealousy
guarded by local sportsmen, who di-
rect visiting anglers to more distant
streams.
The anglers in Truckee. that city of
lumber mills, are making an effort to
correct an evil, which. if not abated,
will drive the Il out from their sec ION
into the State of Nevada. 1t is conf
IDENTITY asserted that there is not fish
ladder on the Truckee river that the
fish can go up This is a sweeping
assertion, but an examination of
few of them induces one to a belief in
its truth.

fish which went into the creek TO spawn

can be seen trying to do so by the hun

In Bonner creek, but it is depopuating
the lake 4 few miles below the mouth
Of Bonner creek, at Richardson's box
factory, on the Truckee river, there is
a dam. The fish ladder at this place
is completely choked with debris, and
il is impossible for fish which went
below to spawn to get back. The same
condition obtains at Camp "a. twenty |
two miles further down. OF course, |
there are thousands of fish which run |
up Alder Creek and other streams to /
spawn, and thus remain in the
country. but there are thousands more /
which go down the Truckee river into
Nevada, and cannot get back on ac-
count Of the fish ladders.
