ELATED BY CATCH
Sport at Russian River Proved
Disappointing 10 Most
of Delegation
By FRANK o'DoNNELL

The 80 or more local anglers who
were attracted to the Russian river
by reports of fine fishing last week did
not find the sport UP TO the standard
of excellence that they were led 10 eN-
pect by the glowing reports that

just before their departure. Instead
or creelinS six or more big Stcelhead
each on Sunday, they expected to
do. most of the WaltOnians had to be
content with two or three. and severa.
failed to get as much as a strike. Fish
ing was not altogether bad. but results
on the whole were poor This may
have been due 10 the large number or
fishermen on the river, but whatever
The cause the anglers did not return 70
the city elated with the results of their
outing
According to ]. Auburn Whom who
was one of the party on the stream
the tide was unusually high at the
mouth of the river and the fishermen
made the mistake of fishing down be-
low the rifles. The doctor said that
neither spoon nor fish could be seen a
the bridge and the constant changing
of position on the part of several ang-
lers was also responsible for the small
ness of the catches. Jack Palmeiler. a
native, was the high hook for Satur-
day and sunday. He creeled four good
sized trout within half an hour on
Saturday evening and landed three on
Sunday. Louis Lafranche, another ma
tive. landed four big ones on Sunday.
