Within the next fortnight the Adirondack
resort season will be fairly opeyeG. The
summer schedules or the railroads viii he
in effect and the -teamboats and stage lines
will be opeIated in connection with the
trains,
%1he opening of the Adirondack season
is never foInal. the coming of summer Wis
itors Is kfadual andS ha rlly noticeable.
1t is hike the return of the birds in the spring;
the first thing you know the neighbors Of
last year are in the adjoining camp.
Ono soon distinguished newcomer by
his busting activity and inquisitiveness
In marked contrast to the old timer who
with ssdatencss takes up the thread where
he left off the year before, Fishing tackle,
boats and guides are sought, golfers with
their sticks call for caddies. turnouts rang
ing from the dfdinary to the elaborate APP
pear and tourists on bicycles, on horse
back and afoot proclaim the season open.
Since April it has been possible to catch
trout in the waters of the Adirondacks and
a great many anglers have been in camp,
for now one can fill a creel with much less
labor than val b. re luirAd in July and Au-
gust. The sngleworm has until now been
the favorite bl.t, but the warmer sun and
the showers Of late May and early June
have awakened the flies and the angler
is. now trying various limitations of colored
insects andbpractising the intricate move
m ITS or the Nv caster.
The ques, of the trout throughout the
spring has been of a most satisfactory
nature, The Adirondack trout, relished the
world over for their favor, are holding their
own against all other fish and the angler
as we'll.
One Of the notable kills of the season was
that Of &C. Alfred Of New York, who, while
angling with a guide on the Upper Saranac
Lake, landed a brook trout which weighed
four and a half pounds. While thou
sands of trout are caught by men and wo-
men in the Adirondacks each season, not
more than four or five will weigh as much
as Mr.. Alfred's prize.
The Adirondac ok fish hatcheries are oper-
ated to their utmost capacity, and the State
will deposit in the various waters of the
region during the coming year the greatest
number Of trout fry and fnGerlings in the
history Of this important work.
The Saranac Lake Fish and Game Club,
an organization formed during the winter,
will take caro- of several car loads of trout
of the lake and brook varieties. The waters
of the St. Regis and SaranHc River systems
will recsive the fish. In some instances
it will be necessary to carry the cans for
long distances over blind trails to get the
fish 10 the streams and ponds most favor
able TO their propagation.
The season for small mouthed black bass
In the Adirondaok s will open June is. This
variety Of game fish is constantly increas-
ing N thu waters of tho great North Woods.
and each season strengthens the opinion
that it is the coming game fish there. VS.
1t is to-day possible TO catch bass
from some Of the piers in Fourth Lake,
Fulton Chain, while during the past week
