ROD AND STREAM
BY C. Perry Miller.

He has watched conditions at the
beach very closely and thinks that
during the full moon of the first ten
days of this month there will, be
good sport. with trout. So far this
season there have been few days
at Crowduck q good string. He tells
of occasionally hooking few tur-
tie along the shore in front of Mari
nelli's. He baits his lines, fastens
them to stakes and in the following
morning usually finds nice turtle
waiting him. =,
Tho Bitter boys were lucky Last
week in getting some nice specimens
of trout: -
one hundred, and nifty hardheads
and two three-pound trout were
landed at SoIonyon Island during
the past week by party composed
A. l.. Horner OF. Washington and the
latter's CHILDREN. Jack and Mary.
They took d photograph of their
catch so there would be no room for
doubt. -. :,ssiS,:. 81 :. =
