HUNTING AND FISHING

With the reports of scant fishing at
the local beaches, many of the anglers
will go to the mountain resorts today
and there enjoy the good fishing that
has been reported. The recent cloud
burst has caused the water to rush
into the smaller streams among the
mountains, and they are literally alive
with trout that would make the mouth
of king water, to say nothing of the
dyspeptic Rockefeller. The best of the
mountain fishing seems to be at the
Mountain View resort, while Fellows
camp and the numerous camps around
Mt. Wilson also report good sport. Last
Wednesday a large buck was shot
within mile and a half of the Noun
tain View resort, and since then hunt
ing parties have been arriving at the
camp daily.
w. A. Robinson, accompanied by
three others, will pass Sunday hunting
doves in one of the surrounding sub
urbs of Los Angeles. Robinson has
withheld the names of his companions.
Perhaps because of their regulations
as excellent shots, and perhaps not.
Coulter Dry Goods company will be
represented in the field or sport today
by George L. Binder, who will hunt
for doves during the day. He may find
some.
C. H. Gilbert and c. H. Moore will
scour the country surrounding Calaba-
sas for the winged creatures. They
say they will be satisfied only with the
limit.
DIR. w. H. r. Huff of the receiving
hospital will leave the city at the
streak of dawn for the San Fernando
valley, where he will pass the day
hunting doves. No doubt the doctor is
acquainted with the hunting laws, and
knows that the limit to one party is
twenty-five. AT any rate, he took
whole regiment of hunters.
The big surf fish that was caught
recently at Venice by Max Lowenthal
has been stuffed and now may be seen
on exhibition in the window of the
ny. The fish weighed eight pounds and
five ounces. 1t measures seventeen
inches in circumference and is twenty
seven inches long. The fish was caught
on a nine-thread line and with the use
of mackerel rod.
C. w. Coomber, treasurer of the
Southern California Rod and Reel club,
left Los Angeles last night for Balboa,
where he will fish Sunday. Coomber
announced that he would leave last
night while in the Western Hardware
and Arms company's store. He was
overheard by Charlie Luchenback, who
foresaw visions of his favorite fishing
hole being discovered b. another, SO
he too announced that he would go to
Balboa with Coomber. The announce
ment created a laugh among those
gathered in the store, as Charlie had
previously announced that he would
not go to Balboa until Sunday morn
ing.
Smith Warren of the Southern Cali
fornia Rod and Reel club now holds
the record of having caught the larg-
est yellowtail of any yet caught by
member of the club. Last week he
caught one that tipped the scales at
forty-nine and one-half pounds. Ac-
connpanying the rabbit on this trip
to Clemente was the "weazel,' who
landed a forty-two pound yellowtail.
Warren is now eligible to the White
Star button of the club. Up to the
time this catch was made the honor
was held by c. w. Coomber, who, July
7, caught a forty-eight pound yellow
tail at Clemente.
S. o. Synonds of the National Lum-
ber company will attempt to shoot the
limit of doves today. Failing to shoot
them, he will lombard them with lum-
Der. Either way will suit him, he said,
SO that ne gets them.
C. Thoern of the d. 3. Jerrue Co,
will 7eave for the wilds of Southern
California today and attempt to bring
him enough wildcat skins to make a
rug for his parlor.
