Dear Journal
Fried pickerel fried black bass, fried
white perch. fresh from the cooling wa
tiers of this beautiful lake. Could any
thing be better? Yes, Just one, and that
fish chowder, made with perch or bass
caught two hours prior to eating. De-
licious is no name for the latter dish.
These things We have had in plenty at
Camp Refuge since the coming in of
dog days. Not that we suffer any from
q day indoors, occasioned by bowwows,
for conditions here are not at all favor
able for visits from r. E. Morses, but
speak of dog days in the same breath
with fish simply because the appearance
is simultaneous. The fishing was never
better here than at present Numerous
parties have reported large catches of
bass, with an occasional white perch,
which, by the way, are running large,
one pound and pound and half fish be-
ing the rule rather than otherwise. Still
fishing. with old-fashioned angleworms,
seems to be productive of the best results,
as the writer can attest-by good catch
es of bass in his front door yard
