The biggest fish story of the season
comes from Northwest Garry, where a
Massac husetts sportsman dropped his
bait through the bung-hole OF a barrel he
saw floating in the water. Instantly, SO
goes the story, the water was boiling, and
the fisherman knew that he had trout
on the other end. He played him until
| the fish was tired and when he came to
| land him he could not get him through
the hole. He secured a saw and sawed a
piece out OF the barrel and took out a
three pound square-tail trout. One OF
the guides said that the trout must have
| gone into the barrel when small, and had
lived on bugs and worms which had taken
up their abode on the inside.
