  another 
  is 
  its 
  delicacy 
  of 
  flavor, 
  which 
  is 
  hardly 
  surpassed 
  by 
  any 
  

   other 
  fish. 
  

  

  The 
  brook 
  trout 
  may 
  be 
  taken 
  by 
  almost 
  any 
  method 
  known 
  to 
  

   anglers. 
  In 
  open 
  streams 
  fly 
  fishing 
  is 
  the 
  method 
  par 
  excellence. 
  

   In 
  streams 
  where 
  overgrowth 
  prevents 
  fly 
  casting, 
  angleworms, 
  grass- 
  

   hoppers, 
  or 
  almost 
  any 
  bait 
  will 
  be 
  taken 
  when 
  the 
  trout 
  is 
  feed- 
  

   ing. 
  Everything 
  will 
  be 
  disregarded 
  when 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  feeding. 
  The 
  best 
  

   fhes 
  to 
  use 
  in 
  any 
  body 
  of 
  water 
  must 
  be 
  learned 
  by 
  experience, 
  but 
  

   the 
  brown 
  hackle 
  is 
  seldom 
  a 
  failure 
  anywhere. 
  Professor, 
  queen 
  of 
  

   the 
  water, 
  Montreal, 
  coachman, 
  and 
  many 
  others 
  are 
  usually 
  quite 
  

   successful. 
  Gauze-winged 
  fhes 
  will 
  sometimes 
  succeed 
  when 
  others 
  

   fail. 
  

  

  The 
  best 
  time 
  to 
  fish 
  for 
  this 
  trout 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  morning 
  and 
  early 
  

   evening. 
  It 
  lurks 
  in 
  eddies 
  and 
  pools 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  rapids, 
  or 
  

   under 
  overhanging 
  banks, 
  old 
  stumps, 
  or 
  rocks.

  The 
  report 
  of 
  the 
  super- 
  

   intendent 
  of 
  the 
  park 
  for 
  1897 
  calls 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  brook 
  

   trout 
  were 
  very 
  numerous 
  in 
  the 
  Firehole 
  River 
  above 
  Kepler 
  Cas- 
  

   cades, 
  evidently 
  having 
  been 
  planted 
  there 
  through 
  mistake 
  for 
  Loch 
  

   Leven 
  trout, 
  none 
  of 
  which 
  had 
  ever 
  been 
  observed. 
  The 
  same 
  

   report 
  stated 
  that 
  Shoshone 
  Creek 
  was 
  literally 
  alive 
  with 
  brook 
  trout 
  

   up 
  to 
  H 
  pounds 
  in 
  weight. 
  

  

  10. 
  Largemoutii 
  Black 
  Bass 
  (Micropterus 
  salmoides). 
  

  

  There 
  were 
  two 
  introductions 
  of 
  black 
  bass 
  m 
  park 
  waters. 
  In 
  1893 
  

   Gibbon 
  River 
  received 
  250 
  and 
  in 
  1896 
  "lakes 
  in 
  Yellowstone 
  Na- 
  

   tional 
  Park" 
  are 
  indefinitely 
  mentioned 
  as 
  having 
  received 
  500.
