The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-08

ascent, as the sun was fast softening the
snow, making it extremely dangerous near
any treetop or log lying near the surface;
however beyond few falls with the ami
mails (and few without them) the trip
was made without incident. The day fol-
lowing the return of the two parties to
Woodcock Meadow was spent in catching
more fish, which on the way home were
put in Eshom Creek.
The entire trip occupied week and five
streams that had never before had fish in
them will furnish sport for some one in a
few years. OF the whole number caught
by the party only five died and the rest
were all planted in the water, not one be-
ing eaten, as one of the party said, s'they
are too hard to catch to be fit to eat"
Other members of the Visalia Sports
mans Club, of which Mr.. Weaver is presi-
dent, and MIR. Ellis vice-president, intend
during the summer to make like trips and
keep it up until every accessible stream is
stocked with trout. 1t is hoped that more
missioners, as there are many beautiful
lakes all through the mountains where it
is thought the bass will furnish better
sport than trout.
