FISHING IN ARKANSAS IS FINE.
Said to BE Better Now Than at Any
Time in the Last Seven

The fishing in Arkansas this summer Is
the finest in years, 1t is said that the
fish are SO plentiful, and they are SO anx-
ious to bite that they will tackle the naked
hook. Like all fish stories this must be
taken with a grain of salt. but there is no
doubt that an immense number OF the mn
ny tribe have been drawn from the lakes
and rivers of Arkansas since the water OF
the spring flood went down. both by the
true sportsman and the pot hunter.
The lakes and rivers of Arkansas are
famous for their fish. When 1t comes down
to real sport they are unexceiied, ana
their reputation would be Worldwide were
1t not for the wildness OF the surround
ings, the voraciousness OF the mosquitoes
and the unpicturesque landscapes
In the season following Hood the great
est catches can be made. In previous years
as the floods went down. pot hunters in
tested the streams and rivers and slaught-
cred the fish that had come out to spawn
and had been left by the receding waters.
What they left the cannibal fish killed un-
iii in was feared that the Arkansas streams
would become as deplete of fish as are the
streams of thickly settled countries. The
legislature of Arkansas took cognizance of
the conditions and passed game laws that.
when enforced, protect the fsh ana game
in an ample manner and insure plenty OF
both for the sportsman for years 10 come.
Thus protected the fish spawned In peace
this year. and when they were left III the
lakes and streams by the outgoing water
had only the sportsmen and the cannibal
fish to contend with. This has made Mr..
|. Fish a very fly creature, and any old kind
of bait will land him.
