ANGLERS ENJOY
RUN OF Salmon
Large Catches Made i'm Mon.
ferey Bay, While Striped
Bass Swarm San Pablo
By FRANK o,poNNELL


The run of salmon in Monterey bay
and the presence of large numbers of
striped bass on the San Pablo fats
made things interesting for salt water
fishermen last week, while anglers for
trout found sport uniformly good in
coast streams and improving in inland
waters. The salmon run in Monterey
bay attracted large numbers of fisher
men to that body of water, and large
catches were the rule, nearly 8 900 of
the big quinnats being taken on one
day by sportsmen and market fisher
men: The striped bass enthusiasts
found the going good last Sunday and
on subsequent days not only at San
Pablo, but off Greenbrae and in differ
ent parts of the Yolo basin.
The most welcome trout fishing news
was received from Castella on the up
per Sacramento river. H. o. Hicks of
Crag View wrote a friend in the city
that fishing was never better in that
vicinity, the rainbow being much in
evidence and willing to rise to the fly.
The news travelled quickly, and fisher
men who had whipped the upper Sac
ramento in past years lost no time in
starting for their favorite haunts on
that stream. A party of five, headed
by Floyd S. Judah was about the first
to get away. With Judah were DR.. E.
K. Hopkins, Milton Pray and son and
Senator j. G. Sims.
A few anglers who were on the
Truckee early in the week reported
great improvement in conditions on the
river. The snow was rapidly disap-
pearing from the mountains, and the
stream was said to be getting in better
shape every day. The red ants were
out in great numbers all along the
river, according to report. and some
excellent catches were made around
Boca.
A delegation from the San Francisco
fly casting club left for the lodge near
Boca on Friday night.
A large number of familiar faces
was seen along the banks of the Pes
cadero and San Gregorio creeks in San
Mateo county and other streams south
from the city were well patronized.
Charles F. Breidenstein and Fred Sar-
cander headed a party on the Puris-
sima,- Ernst Boucher brought in a good
basket from Twas creek in Santa Clara
county and w. Squirm had a good days
sport on San Pedro creek in the valley
of that name.
There were plenty of steeIhead in the
Papermill creek and other Marin
county streams. but the fishermen had
to work to get them. Emil Acceret and
Jim Lynch were up to Point Reyes and
had some fair fishing. Attorney A. w.
Perry was more fortunate than most of
the others, accounting for 2S.
Recent advices from Klamath Hot
Springs say that fishing is grand on
the klamath river and the weather de-
lightful. Many Is and 20 pound boxes
are sent out every morning to this city
and elsewhere. DR.. j. Auburn Wibon
recently received a fine mess from
George Cook, the old time klamath
guide. None OF the fish in the box for
warded by Cook weighed less than
pounds and more. No. artificial and
salHion flies are proving effective kill
ers on this stream.
Capitola, Monterey, Del Monte and
other resorts on Monterey bay are the
objective points for fishermen seeking
tussel with the quinnat salmon. The
big fish are furnishing plenty Of ex-
citing sport, and big catches are being
made daily. Coroner W. ]. Walsh. DR..
t. Sullivan and d. 1. Kenny, accompa-
MED by their wives, and with Arthur
j. Hearst, James Clasby Dunn and
John F. Gallagher as their guests, left
in automobiles for Monterey yesterday.
One of the striped bass fishing par
ties at San Pablo last Sunday included
Herman Remensberger, Henry Lutz, Bill
Augustine, A. Petersen, L. Nelson. Louis
Gotthelf, Joe Dutra, Frank Maskey and
Herman Griffs Every one in the party
did well, Nelson landing a Is and H
Gotthelf II FOUNDER. The others got
plenty of fish weighing from four to six
pounds. Charles Urfer is still camped
at Greenbrae. where he is getting bass
every day. The linear marked fish are
also being taken on live mfnnow in the
Russian river near Duncans Mills.
