FISHING IS GOOD
At lake RESORTS
Patrons of Nearby Streams Fare
Fairly, but ,Truckee River
Is High
By FRANK o'DoNNELL

| Evidences of good fishing aat Tahoe
good boxes of trout were received in
! the city during the last week and
sportsmen out on extended visits to
distant streams continued to fare well.
while fisherman had varying luck on
nearby coast streams. The Paper Mill.
! Olema and other creeks in Marin county
were to large extent in the possession
| of campers and picnickers, as is always
| the case during the summer vacation
| season. which explains the apparent
| lack of interest in fishing at these
erstwhile popular resorts. Some fair
to good baskets of steelhead were
brought in from the Purissima and San
| Gregorio creeks in San Mateo county
last Sunday, but big fish did not figure
| very largely in the catches
| Leo Pockwitz and his wife were
among the city anglers at Lake Tahoe,
where they had some fair to good
sport, and Harry Baker and Frank
Smith wet their lines in several of the
lakes in the vicinity of Rubicon' with
good results. Charles Urfer and his
family continued TO find camp life and
! fishing on Donner lake satisfactory and
when last heard from Urfer still had
| hopes of breaking the record for big
Mackinaw trout. Fishing continued eX-
| cellent on the south fork of the Yuba
river near Cisco and some good catches
! of Loeb Levin trout were said to have
| been made the lake of that name
and also on lake Fordyce. l. r. d.
| Grubb and son left for Lake Tahoe
during the week intending to put in
month fishing in that vicinity.
TRUCKEE RIVER HIGH
| Colonel Young recently returned from
the Fly Casting clubs lodge on the
| Truckee and reported that the water
was very high and fishing merely fair.
w. B. Tubbs was another recent visitor
| to the Truckee and he did not find the
going anything TO enthuse over The
river still has its devotees, however
James Watt and Governor Gillett eX-
pect to go up TO the lodge before long
and it is expected that there will be
another gathering of club members
there as soon the water in the river IS
low enough to assure good fishing. II.
Huntley and Colonel Edwards fished
and accounted for a joint catch of AZ
nice eastern brook trout.
George Uri and Bert Dewar are still
on the Gualala river, where they are
getting plenty of good sized fish every
day. Billy Street has been a regular
visitor to the south fork of the Merced
river below Ell Portal.
L W. c. Gleason. Fl. C. Kingswel1 and
r. G. Scott. accompanied by their wives,
are away on four weeks visit to the
Rogue and Williamson rivers. Recent
advices from points on these streams
say that fishing is as good as ever.
Ed Snyder of San Jose is also on the
Williamson.
Fred Sarcander and Charles F.. Brand
enstein were on the San Gregorio creek
in San Mateo county. Up to the end
of last week Brandenstein had planted
$50, 900 trout fry in the streams of
that county for the Ocean Shore rail-
road company. The fish were distrib-
uted as follows: Frenchman creek, 20,-
600; Pedro, 10000; Dennison and Ward
10000; Purissima, 10000; Lobitas, 75,-
900; Tunitas, 10000; San Gregorio, TO-
000.. w. A. l.. Miller, Frank NJ. Smith
and George A. Wentworth recently
planted 100000 steelhead fry from the
Ukiah hatchery in Sonoma creek for
the California anglers association.
BASS FISHING POPULAR
Fishing for black bass is becoming
popular pastime and the fish are fur
nishing plenty Of sport at various
places. w. ID. Macarthur has had sew
eral launch parties out on Prospect
slough within the last few weeks and
they always got back with plenty of
fish. William West of Napa went to
Rio Vista several days ago with the
intention of putting a whole week at
bass fishing. Hugh Copeland has been
very successful with the black fish,
Last year Copeland discovered a blind
slough near Tracy. which is now called
Tracy lake and from which he has
taken several nice strings of fish. Cope
land was at the lake recently with
A. e. Duncan, DIR. Willis of Centerville
and Jesse Saddlemeir and the party
took 81 fine fish with live minnows
nf the fish eiphed n
several scaled over pounds.
William Kittle and X. Boyde took
