Russian River by means of giant powder.
1t is presumed that arrests will follow.
The Truckee River is rapidly rounding
into form, and anglers who are conversant
with 1t and the peculiarities of the trout
are sangulne that grand sport will be en-
joyed next month. Up to the present the
Truckee has not been a success, from an
anglers point of view, as the fishes have
been feeding on grubs and snails, which
were very prolific in the river owing to an
unexpected appearance OF drifting moss
which evidently came from the dams that
were cleaned out This summer. The moss
is now rapidly decaving, and as a conse-
quence anglers look forward to fine fishing
in September. Among the anglers who
visited Boca during August for the pleas
ure OF fishing and shooting are:
