LARGE FISHs
IN THE STREAMS.

Local anglers who are really anxious for
a days enjoyment should not delay their
departure for Point Reyes or Duncans
Mills, as the sport is now on and steel
heads are waiting to be caught.
Yesterday the agent OF the North Pacific
Coast Railroad at Duncans Mills tele-
graphed the com pany that the bar at the
mouth of Russian River opened on
Wednesday, with the result that steel
heads ad Iibitum have been ascending the
river, which is at present rather off color
owing to the heavy rain which fell during
the past week.
On Thursday seven boxes of steelheads
were shipped to this city by the net
fishermen who live near the river; but
MIR. Morgan OF Duncans Mills telegra phed
to John Butler that fishing was good and
that anglers vino contemplate q trip TO
DunCans must be provided with salmon
eggs ana shrimps.
a dispatch from A. Rochfort of Point
Reyes offers very tiattering inducements
20 anglers who have been figuring on
good sport in the tide waters of Paper
mill Creek.
Rochfort states that large run OF hook
bills are in, and that the residents are
having sport galore. 1t has been four
years since hookbills made their appe ar
ance at Point Reyes. They are not a very
game fish, but they take a spoon readily,
and put up fairly game battle. Besides
hookbills, so called, there are mum bers of
nice steelheads ranging from half pound
to three pounds in weight lurking in the
deep pools waiting an opportunity to as
cend to the headwaters of the creek. Now
is the time Tor sport as another heavy
rainfall will raise the creeks and rivers,
and then fishing will be at a standstill
until the weather settles and the streams
run low.
The following letter will be read with
much interest by anglers and hunters,
who are desirous of being early on the
happy hunting grounds Sunday morn
ings. 1t speaks for itself:
To the Sporting Editor Of the San Francisco

Local sportsmen looked sad and pensrve

fore erunner of the first storm of the season.
They looked up at the heavily laden
rain clouds and muttered to themselves:
at is all up with US now; duck shooting

Yes, the boys who have been enjoying
fairly good shooting on the marshes
within easy reach of the city expected to
hear of the departure of the quackers and
whistlers to the wide and open grain
fields of Southern California, but accord

from the marshes between Black Point

day for their respective hunting grounds
in Marin and Sonoma counties.
There can be no gainsaylng he fact that
the storm will have the effect of thinning
the marshes OF considerable game, as the
young grain which mas sprung up, mush-
room like, within the past few DAYS will
tempt thousands of broad bills from the
swamps to the upIands, thus depriving
many hunters of chance to weight down
their straps. However, the prospects for
teal, spr1g and spoOnbilI shooting to-day
ana tomorrow are toleraDly good. Pond
shooting should be particularly good to-
morrow if the weather is at all rough, as
the birds delight to rest at ease in some
sheltered cove when a storm is raising
spray the bay.
At Point Reyes quail and duck shooting

month. Last Sunday Frank Dolliver,

with having killed forty-seven bIackiacks
one day of last week, but to accomplish
this trick he shot off 308 cartridges and
