gardless of the manner In which the result
is accomplished.
Mr.. Pinchot is numbered among those
enthusiasts who believe that true sport
consists in catching fish with the lightest
possible tackle. In his opinion the tackle
ordinarily used by anglers is much too
heavy. His first big fish. landed with the
aid of very light line and a small rod
hardly bigger than a birch rod. such as
pedagogues have made famous-it weigh
ed but four ounces-cOnfirmed him in
that opinion. The fish was 91a-pound
trout. and the scene of the struggle.

and the sun was just setting. For an
hour he never caught sight of the trout
which had gone straight for the bottom
but the battle was on in earnest from the
very first moment that the big fellow felt
the hook. Finally in the dusk the trout
came to the surface. but it was so dark
that even when lie turned on his side it
was difficult to see him. How the big
fellow was to be landed when he should
be tired out was a problem, as there was
no gait in the boat Finally Mr.. Pinchot
remembered a large hook he had in his
pocket. and his companion fastened it to
a stick and so improvisd a gait with

which. after long fight. the trout was
landed long after shutdown by the light of
the stars. AT that time Mr.. Pinchot was
on an official trip as a member of the
forestry commission appointed by the
National Academy of Sciences in 1895 to
Study what was best to do with the
governments timber lands. and he was
making an inspection of the forests
Der lands there have been made, ma
tional forest and the lake has been in
cluded within national park. Since the
experience at Pelican bay Mr.. Pinchot
has had some remarkable luck with
light tackle in various parts of the coun-
try. One Of the most remarkable expert
ences of which he has personal knowl-
edge. however. was not the lot Of himself,
but befell Lawrence o. Murray, now con-
troller of the currency.
Novice's Luck.
A party consisting of Secretary of the
Interior Garfield, Admiral Sebree, Mr..
Pinchot and his. brother, Amos r. F..
Pinchot, was fishing for tarpon three
years ago Murray was the only one of
the party who was not a seasoned fisher
man, and, strange to say. he not only had
never caught a fish before, but he had
never even wet line. 1t was somewhat
surprising. therefore. when Murray was
the first to hook a fish, and it proved to
be u tarpon weighing $50 pounds. The
emotions awakened in a seasoned angler
when he feels q fish of that sort at the
end of his line are sufficiently remarkable.
What. then, must be the sensations of
novice who never before had known the
thrill induced by a fight with piscatorial
foe? But whatever he felt. Murray was
game. He not only succeeded in landing
his splendid catch. but he caught more
tarpon than any man in the party and
was converted into an enthusiastic angler.
II is the ambition of some of the best
anglers in the country to catch a tarpon
with light tackle, and Mr.. Pinchot became
imbued with this desire several years ago
he has set himself the difficult task of
landing his tarpon under the rules of the
Light Tackle Club of Catalina Island
which require that rod not over six
ounces in weight above the reel be used,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-10-04

with a nine-thread line. and the rod to be
six feet long l.. z. Streeter. secretary Of the
club. was the first man to take tarpon
under those conditions. 1t was a year ago
at Arkansas Pass, Tex, but since then
half a dozen others have also qualified for
membership in the Light Tackle Tarpon
Club. Mr. Pinchot had hoped to qualify
this fall. but his work as d member of the
conservation commission and the Presi-
dents new commission for the uplift of
the farmers has precluded the Indulgence
he had promised himself in Florida
waters.
Winning His Spurs.
During the recent visit of the chief for
ester to California he had some splendid
sport, and was fortunate enough to win
the gold button under the rules of the
Light Tackle Club by taking a yellowtail
weighing over forty pounds. Some time be-
fore this he had Won the right to wear the
bronze button. but. he says. that is COM
paratively easy. The principal difficulty
in fishing with light tackle ds when the
fish succeeds in getting out a very long
line. from 100 to 200 yards. In such a
case, if the fish makes a sudden and pow
erful turn to one side instead Of continu-
ing to run straight away from the angler
the strain on the light line from being
dragged through the water is liable to part
it, while at the same time the strain on
the rod may be comparatively slight.
There Is another club at Catalina called
the ThreeSix Club, which uses tackle still
lighter than that prescribed by the Light
Tackle Cub. The motto of the ThreeSix
Club is: Less fish. more sport" In order
to fish under the regulations of the Three
Six Club one must use a six-thread line
which is finer than the finest line usually
used for brook trout: rod weighing not
moro than six ounces and not less than
six feet In length. With such tackle one
must take a yellowtail weighing upward
of eighteen pounds before he can qualify
to become member Of the club. Through
a mistake Mr.. Pinchot did not save a
twentytwo-poundy ellowtail he took with
this tackle, so he has yet to qualify for
the club. The best catch. he says that
he knew of under the Three-Six rules
when he last saw the record was a yell

to last for some years to come.
His Biggest Fish.
There is sport of an intensely exciting
nature in angling for king fish. -Four
years ago a party consisting of Mr.. Pin
chot Mr. James Garfield (now Secretary
of the Interior). Alden Anderson. pro-
lessor of English literature at Harvard.
and A. P. Proctor. the famous animal
sculptor went to Boca Grande for the
tarpon fishing, but as it was cold the tar
pom did not come in. and they TOOK Try
at the king fish. Boca Grande is small
pass at the entrance of Charlotte harbor.
where the tides race through like tor
rents. Mr. Pinchot undertook to troll
from a small sailboat. but the sea was so
high that he had to give that up. Then
he went out in an 1S-foot dingy, and, the
sea growing rougher, he gave that up.
During the last day or two of the stay at
Boca Grande the party trolled from
24-foot whaleboat with storm trysal. and
they had some thrilling sport. The fish
were great savage fellows that seemed to
strike the bait with the velocity of a pro-
jectile. leaping out Of the water as they
struck and then making fierce rushes to
get away When fish struck. the boat
followed under sail as rapidly as possible
in the rough water. 1t was intensely
thrilling Sometimes fish would get out
$50 yards of line at one rush. When he
would turn it would be almost impossible
to keep the line taut while going about.
1t was necessary to jibe the boat. If the
line grew slack the fish usually got away.
On the last day the fish were plentiful.
and the water being much smoother the
fishermen went out in a small le-foot
boat 1t was then that Mr.. Pinchot land
ed his biggest fish. a 3Oh FOUNDER. The
tide was going out. and while the struggle
was in progress the fish kept taking the
boat out to sea. At length, when he was
gated after ca strenuous battle lasting
more than an hour. the beat was two
miles out AS the big fellow was being
