heat INTERFERES
With FISHERMEN
Warmth Prevents Shipments to
City, but Sport, as Rule,
Is Excellent
By FRANK o'DoNNELL

The hot weather interfered with trout
anglers on the first two days of last
week. On distant mountain streams
sport was excellent, particularly on the
upper Sacramento and Truckee rivers
These two streams were well patronized
and the readiness with which the fish
rose to the fly made the creeling of
limit strings of rainbow trout an easy
matter for expert fly fishermen. Fish
ing for black and striped bass was also
productive of results. so, taken all in
all, the angling fraternity had no cause
to complain of scarcity of fish.
At Boca and Union Mills on the
Truckee river expert manipulators of
the rod and reel gathered beautiful
baskets of good sized fish, the sport
being about the best thus far this sea-
son. Several members of the San
Francisco fly casting club were at the
clubs lodge near Boca. for a Saturday
to Monday stay, and all of them were
well satisfied with their outing. The
party included C.sP. Pomeroy,f J. d.
Mckee. Charles H. Kewell, J. Harron,
w D. Mansfield. Ed Everett, f. j.
Cooper E. A. Mocler, James Watt, II.
III. Kirk and Colonel George L. Ed
wards. Mocker was the star of the
party, accounting for more than 80 nice
fish every day.
Jules WE'LL was at Castella on the
upper Sacramento for week and found
fishing excellent. He made big catches
daily and creeled the limit on sew
eral occasions. Floyd S. Judah, DR.. E.
K Hopkins. Milton Pray and Senator
J. c. Sims also found the going good
on the upper Sacramento.
H. B. Gosliner and son, Bill Eaton, F.
Bernard and Charles Schultz were at
Sea View on the Gualala river Sunday
and Monday, and made good catches of
steelhead. Ed Cohn and William Fisher
were on Austin and Ward creeks, and
they reported that the boys were doing
very well on those streams
Attorneys W. F. Stafford and w. p.
Caubu with Frank Hennessey and H. j.
Stafford f1shed Los Gatos creek near
Wrights last Sunday. Caubu got a
limit string in about two hours and
the other members Of the party ac-
counted for fair baskets. Midnight"
Miller and Charles Daiss whipped Bear
creek in Santa Cruz county with in
different success.
San Mateo county. fishing resorts
drew record crowds OF fishermen for a
Sunday and Monday stay the Puris-
sima creek being about the most pop
ular of any of the trout streams in the
county. Frank Smith, George Uri. Mil
ton Frankenberg and Bert Dewar were
on the headwaters of the stream and
had some fair sport. Smith took 1S
big ones, most of them being 2 inches
in length. The hot weather made
things bad for fishermen in that vicin-
ity and many of the catches spoiled
within two hours.
Fred Sarcander and Charles F. Brei-
denstein hshed Gazus, Butneu, Pesca-
dero and Purissima creeks from Thurs
day to Sunday. getting nice baskets
daily. Saturday Breidenstein took 80
nice ones from the Purissima. Doctor
Blackburn, Herman Frey and J. Nc
Cormick wet their lines In Pescadero
creek and did fairly. Tom Johnson Ed
Adams, Frank Carroll, J. J.. Bell and
T. Packard found sport to their liking
on the San Gregorio Sunday and Mon
day.
Striped bass furnished plenty of
sport to salt water fishermen in the
early part of last week. Frank Marcus
Eddie Conlin and Ed Taaf had great
days fishing on Prospect slough last
Sunday Doctor Matson, Charles Linn
and three friends went to Prospect and
Cache sloughs Monday after striped
and black bass. Doctor Wilson took
four good sized striped bass from the
lagoon near Tiburon early in the week
and several other fishermen picked up
one or two in the same body of water
There was big turnout of bass fish
ermen at San Pablo Sunday and Mon
day great many fish weighing from
to 10 pounds were taken, some Of the
boys getting as many as 15.
The season for black bass opened
Wednesday, June l. and but few local
anglers had an opportunity to get
Away for a try at these fish.
