i', in a general way, have the habits of trout in 

 similar streams. They arc found in rapids, in deep scooped 

 out holes with sandy bottom, both in the channel and* in 

 the margin of the streams; seek shaded places and spring- 

 holes: and lurk under and near old logs, if the water is 

 rapid, and under over-hanging trees. (I took eight, besides 

 pricking two or three more, in a few minutes, in a hole 

 under an over-hanging cedar. ) It' the water is rapid just 

 abo\ e a hole with sandy bottom, and a tree projects over it, 

 UT:I\ 1'mg are almo-l certain to be there. Deep and rapid 

 water in the middle of the -tream is also a favorite resort. 

 They ;ire not to be found in still water, at any lime of the 

 year. e\cepi that they seek their spawning beds, in the 

 Spring, in the sand\ bottoms O f ( juiet water just below and 

 as near as po^ihle to rapid-. As the water grows warmer. 

 they go upon Hie swift water and stay there during the 

 remainder of the warm season. They never go up very 

 small stream^. be'inn; in this respect wholly unlike trout. 



( Irayliiiir " travel " but, little, seeking their homes for 

 the Summer and remaining there. If frightened out of 

 them, they speedily rcluni when the danger is past. A 

 hole once fished out is fished out for the Summer. They 

 are eery peaceable, both amon- I hem<el\ es and with other 

 fi>h. and do not drivi- each other out of favorite places.*
