The trout streams in the vicinity of
Highland Springs, Lake County, will be
fished extensively this year as good re-
ports have been received from anglers who
reside near the springs.
McMath of Hullville, Lake County,
writes that excellent trout-fishing will be
had this year in Soda and Salmon creeks,
as steelheads had access to those waters
during the past winter and several of them
remained over.
William Fuber of Pieta writes that the
dam in Pieta Creek still remains, but that
the basket which prevented large num-
ber of fish from ascending the stream has
been removed
Should the weather remain fine during
the next week the Paper-mill and Laguni-
tas creeks should be in pretty fair order
for fishing by Sunday, April b. The late
rains have discoiored these streams and
the refuse stuff from the hills will supply
the little finny inhabitants of the creeks
with food of all kinds. According to the
following letter received from Joseph f.
Bertrand OF Tocaloma, the prospects for
good sport when the Paper-mill Creek
resumes it's normal appearance is first
class. His letter reads:
Sporting Editor Call: The present outlook
for the opening OF the trout season on the
Paper-mill Creek offers more favorable oppor-
tunity for 'gOod rum of steelheads and large
trout than has been known to anglers for many
years past.
The recent rains have so raised the stream
that the late run of steelheads has made good
headway in reaching the far end of the head
waters. By the 1st of April it is presumed that
they will be ready to make good the return trip
by slow stages. Should the weather remain
passive the state of the water will be in splen-
did condition for excellent fishing.
Since the closing of the paper-mill at Taylor
vile, which is now over two years, the water of
the stream has become free from all those
poisonous ingredients that were so injurious to
small fry, and together with the clearing away
of the old dam, that was such an obstruction to
the free access of incoming runs for the upper
waters, the little fngerlets have now fairly
doubled their growth under the thriving nutri-
ment peculiar to these waters.

There can be no gainsaying the fact that
during the months of April and May the
streams which invariably give the best re-
suits are within easy reach of stations on
the San Francisco and North Pacific Coast
Railroad. which line taps all the tr1bu-
taries of the Russian River.
