Trout fishing has received a setback
again owing to the unreasonable Weather
and excessive rains throughout the noun
famous districts. In addition the water
is unseasonably cold and the trout are
hugging the bottom and will not rise
to the fly. Few natural flies have peeh
seen flying about by the anglers, VINO
have returned from the different hshlng
/ resorts through Pennsylvania, and most
/ Of the trout taken last week has been
with bait. In the Cresco Valley region
| OF tho Poconos last week there was
heavy fall OF hail. New York reports
similar conditions.
Drs. S. NJ. Wilson and Justus Sinexon
and son spent last week at Cresco IN
the Poconos. where they hshed the
streams, despite the nclement weather,
with only fair success. Doctor Sinexon
who is a great advocate of dry fly tish-
ing, was unable to lure the trout from the
bottom with this sort of fishing and had
to use other means to get the 80 trout he
brought home.
Drs. w. Oakley Hermance and John
II. Jopson of Philadelphia, fished the
waters around Willow Grove, n: j., Dec
Grafton Day and returned with fine
mess of pickerel. number of small
bass were hooked, but all of them were
returned to the water.
At last the considered impossible feat
of catching a trout within n short dis
tance of Philadelphia has been accom-
plished by Joseph Carson. a member of
the Philadelphia bar. The stream Mr..
Carson was so successful in whipping Is
about two miles from Frazer, on the
Main Line. and Is about 40 miles train
ride from Philadelphia. The brook trout
caught Monday measured u inches.
