Omaha daily bee., 1906-06-10

before the rate bill went to the senate
and before voting machines were intro
duced. Fishing just means fishing. Mans
ingenuity has not devised anything which
will successfully take the place of getting
a spade and going out and digging bait
that is, nothing quite so good" Then
to just amble along to the lake with
sack of "smol1in'. " and sit down and just
fish and fish and fish The song says that
FISHING depends on the kind Of bait" and
that is true in most instances. The fisher
men Of Omaha have long desired some Of
the comforts which go along with fishing,
and to that end have Joined the Omaha
Rod and Gun club. which will soon be
ensconsed in its new club house. Memorial
day saw the old lake lined with anglers
trying for the fnny beauties with which
the lake is well stocked. Since the con-
viction of some of the poachers the seiners
seem to have stopped operations at the
lake, and Omaha, by the aid of the fish
commissioner, will soon have as good fish,
ing as any community.
The Nash party, consisting OF F. A.
Nash, w. w. and e. M. Morsman, Casper
e Yost, c. w. Lyman and Sandy Girls
void, returned Wednesday from a ten
days wrestle with the muskies of north
ern Wisconsin. Mr.. Nash made the big
gest catch of the trip, but he failed to
land the beauty, which must have weighed
over thirty pounds. He broke the rod
and smashed the boat and got away
Numerous muscallonge, black bass and
wall-eyed pike were hooked and a general
good time was had by all the party.
Another party consisting of Ed. Palmer,
Fred. Schamel, Charles Dyball and Mr..
Baright returned from a short outing at
Lake Washington. Luck was with this
bunch as far as fish were concerned, but
not with Baright, who made two enor-
nous holes in the lake by falling in
twice. Local fishermen are pleased with
the announcement made by General Man
ager Smith of the Omaha & Council Bluffs
Street Railway company that hereafter,
during the summer months, the cars will
be run every half hour to CORTLAND beach,
from in the morning until in the even
ing. These cars will leave Sixteenth and
Locust streets on the half hour and re-
turning will leave the beach on the quar-
ter. This service is considered wholly
adequate by the FISHERMEN, as il is a
simple matter to time the going and
coming to the half hour. The work of
remodeling the club house is complete
and work was begun on the new boat
house Friday. When these improvements
are complete the Omaha Rod and Gun
club will have a splendid home easily ac-
| cessible to The heart of the city.
