Washington, D. C., or Harry Whitney, of New York City, or MrSc ully who was with the party who have visited Kodiak several times lately, will veri- fy this statement.
 It seemed almost impossible after their first visit to Buckin river to keep Mr. Redington and MT. Scully away from that stream. The last time there, after tiring themselves out by trying to tire the fish out they succeeded in landing a steel head trout 29 1-2 inches long and weighing about eight pounds. As an ardent follower in the footsteps of Sir Isaac Walton MT. Redington has few equals in the United States.
 This stream can be reached with several high power boats available in 20 minutes out of Kodiak; by ordinary motor dories in 35 mnutes or, over a good road by automobile in 15 min utes. Kodiak invites those who think they have good fishing to come and give this stream trial. They prom ise one will never fish again in other sluggish streams.
