Does Beaver Dam Improve Fishing

Big Woods Editor,
Skowhegan, Maine.
Dear Sir:
l would like to hear from someone
who knows in regard to whether d
beaver dam on a brook or pond i'm
proves the fishing. There are brooks
and ponds near us where there has
been good fishing and the beavers
have built dams quite recently.
Would be pleased to hear from some
one who has had a like experience,
through the columns of your paper,
One dam is on a little lake near
Russell Mountain in the town of
Blanchard where we have camp.
There can be seen from camp almost
anytime beaver playing around near
a large lodge, which is also in full
view. We expect to have quite a
number of guests when we open up,
which will be about June 10th or
July LIST. At that time fishing is not
at its best anywhere, and l am won
dering If we may expect to get some
at that time. We have the methods
to catch them if there are any to be
caught
l will give an idea of what the fish
ing is from this camp that l have
mentioned. This little lake or pond
is known az Punchbowl or Russell
Mountain Pond 1t is situated on the
south of Big Russell and just north
of Little Russell Mountain, between
the two, very close to the base of
Big Russell. There is a brook which
is the outlet of this pond It emp
ties into Thorn Brook which is good
fishing. Just above Foss Pond
Stream empties into Thorn Brook
still further up, Bog Brook empties
into this brook. This is the outlet
of Tilton Ponds. Up two miles or
so, is Spectacle Pond, also Marble
Pond and outlet to the same. So
you can readily see that there is
good fishing from this camps. You
have a fine view of Big Russell from
the camp and it is not hard trip to
climb the mountain from camp, from
which wonderful view of the sur
rounding country for miles is OBJ
tainable. From the top may be seen
Boarstone, Barren. Katahdin, Squaw,
Bald, Spencer, fKineo and many other
mountains, also many bodies of wat
err including Moosehead Lake We
are equipped to make this climb and
be comfortable until the return trip
Is made. 10y
Yours for good, clean sport.

Every sportsman in Maine and

ure and the sportsmen of each state
are helping to furnish tho funds for
the campaign
As yet Maine has done nothing. but
the writer has pledged himself to
aid the sponsors of this bill and he
has faith enough in the long-headed-
ness and loyalty of Maine sportsmen
to promise that Maine will furnish
its share of funds.
Each fish and game association
should subscribe all ii can afford from
its funds, and everyone who hunts
should lend similar aid, that govern
ment restrictions may be invoked to
prevent the widespread drainage of
immense areas which means destruc-
ton to natural breeding places, that
sanctuaries may be established in
various sections, where game may
propagate undisturbed; that ma
tional license law with an annual fee
of only one dollar may be adopted
which will create funds for maintain
ing the bills policies; and that we
may hasten the day when our imi-
gratory birds will be under more uni
form laws for the protection of game
between seasons.
Let's all take hold and do some
thing in the name of the State of
Maine. All the other states have
come to the mark. why should not

surpassed many of the expectations
of these owners Of the Neutrodyne

it would be well for buyers Of this
