The Diamond lake region offers fine fishing
also. To Pee sure nobody could ask for finer trout
than The ratrhow- IN Crater lake. They run big;
some Of them scale ten pounds And they are
magnificent fighters many experts hold that pound
for pound the Crater lake rainbow is the hardest
fighter Of all the western trout. But fishing from
the rocky broken shore at the foot Of the lake
walls Is often hard work The best fishing i from

no fun. They want 10 steal along stream ana

In 1918 there were 1921. So the enlargement
is needed-to give more camping room, varied
scenery and different trout fishing among ether
things. The enlargement will offer additional
attractions and make Crater Lake National park
the kind of place where the visitor will want
10 stay all summer. In short, Greater Crater lake
will be both show place and playground.
