Great Stream for Trout.

The Russian river in Alaska, which empties into the Renal about sixty miles from Seward, is probably with out an equal as a trout stream in the world. Unfortunately 1t is difficult to get to and few fishermen know any thing about 1t. The stream would be called a creek in the states, being about 60 or 70 feet wide with an av- craze depth of five feet. It contains both rainbow and Dolly Warden trout !; although the latter do not rank as game fish among Alaskan anglers.
 It is not difficult for skillful an- gler to land 20 rainbows In fore noon's fishing in Russian river not one of which will run less than three pounds, while a fair proportion will exceed six pounds. Fritz von Posth,. a miner, caught a sainbow in this stream last summer weighing a shade under p pounds. These rainbows are fight CTS to the last ditch and wise to the nth power. A novice in fishing would soon be driven to desperation, as he would get @ strike at practically every cast but no other tangible result than a snapped line or broken rod. By using a large hook and big bait the smaller trout are entirely avoided.
