ouderay-Settlers for miles around
are fishing for suckers and red horse
in Sucker creek near Couderay. No
hook or line is used The fish are so
numerous in the stream that the fish
ermen use potato forks to throw them
out of the stream. Some wade into
the water and use clubs to kill the
fish. One can get all the fish one can
carry in short time and parties get
wagon load full in day. The fish
are cleaned and sailed and are eaten
during the summer. This solves the
meat question for dozens of the set
tiers and others in this part of Saw
yer county.
