The first three days of camp we
had clear water for bass fishing and
some of the best catches of any
camp for many years were made
during this time but rains spoiled the
fishing for bass on the fourth day.
Fishing for other kinds of fish was
necessary and some fine fish were
caught. Much interest was taken in
the contests and there were severa |
ties for position. The best prizes we
ever had were given. The Forest a.
Stream Club besides camping club
has done much towards stocking our
streams with good fish and all mem
bers are interested i'm the propagation
OF game and fish and the protection
of same.
