i 4 FISHES OF THE PACIFIC COAST 



Rosa, Santa Cruz and Ana Capa, while south and 

 west lies San Nicholas. 



The fishing about all these islands is excellent, and 

 can be reached from Santa Barbara. No regular boats 

 run, as all are private property, and permission must 

 be had to land on them. Launches to visit the islands 

 may be obtained from professional fishermen at Santa 

 Barbara, Ventura, San Pedro, Avalon or Santa Cata- 

 lina. All these islands are mountainous, and have no 

 good harbors. They are sparsely covered with brush 

 and low trees, but are extremely interesting to visit. 



CORONADO ISLANDS 



An excellent fishing region is at San Diego, off 

 Coronado Beach, at the Coronado Islands, which are 

 barren rocks, and the visitor must live on his boat. By 

 going out to sea from Coronado along the kelp beds 

 large fishes are to be had, such as black sea bass and 

 others. 



MONTEREY BAY 



Monterey Bay fishing is but a few hours from San 

 Francisco, and Del Monte, Capitola, or Santa Cruz 

 afford good points of departure. 



SIERRA NEVADA 



Lake Tahoe is the central point for all this region. 

 South, one reaches the Kern river, and north one 

 comes to the fine fishing of the Feather river, reached 

 from Chico or Klamath Lake, the Rogue river and 

 others.
