up. His first fish taken in the fore
noon of the fifteenth-the open
ing day-weighing in at an even
| five pounds. 1t was a small mouth
and is sure of the fghtenest breed
that ever threw a hook and escap-
ed. In the afternoon the same
man lands one of three and half
pounds and the two finished his
days sport.
John Vandervort brought over a
30 pound musky which had been
taken from Lost lake by a guest
of Forest Primeval, Albert AL
brecht. While the fish was snag-
ged on the Lords day, still it
makes for the better the man who
handled the rod-while he was
landing the big fin he was not
thinking i'll things of his fellow
men. If man wants to be a
good Christian, let him follow
angling as it should be followed,
and he will be for the better when
the day is ended.
While you are talking, Swamp
lake is not to be sneezed at when
discussing the large walleyes those
waters hold to their bosom.
Swamp is noted for her big boys;
the kind when you hook into EN-
that will yank your arm into a
double eight and make your back
bone crooked as an old gnarled
tree after it has been blasted by
icy weather for centuries
something like that. Anyhow,
during the past few days fisher
men who have casted the waters
of this famed old lake, have taken
out several mighty heavy walleyes.
1t has been known to produce
walleyes UP to sixteen pounds in
weight. We have seen 'em.
Now comes Master Paul Firing,
who is spending a vacation period
with Geo. P. Stevens at Stevens
Musky Camp on High lake, with
the honors of landing all by his
lonesome a four pound nine ounce
small mouth bass. This happened
the other day and some chesty
kid is the result. Fellow don't
have to be a hundred years old in
order to land the big ones. Give
the kids a chance. Master Paul
is but eleven years old and halls
from Chicago.
DIR. Gus Schmitt, who is spend
ing his summer at Red Oaks re-
sort on Little st. German lake,
has muskellunge to his credit
but the weight is not known; ex-
cept that it is way above the
sportsman limit in weight. That
shows us that Dr. S. is a bully
good sport and believes that baby
fish should be protected. The
weight of this fish, unofficial, is
given at something better than
twenty pounds. Anyhow, as long
as it was big fin, the weight
doesn't matter.
Messrs. Diamond, Hagan and Mrs
Hagan, who are spending a vaca-
ton period at their cottage on
Joyce lake northwest of Conover
have been grabbing in few

shall lake. Their largest one SC
