104 FISHES OF THE PACIFIC COAST 

 GRAYLING 



In some of the Alaskan streams the grayling is 

 found. 



BLACK BASS 



Black bass has been introduced into a number of 

 streams, lakes and private waters of California, as 

 the dam at San Diego, while the Blue Lakes, north of 

 San Francisco, abound in them. 



THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF ANGLING 



The average reader has little conception of the 

 value of sport as an asset to a community. 



The State of Maine values its fishing and hunting at 

 five million dollars per annum ; in other words, sports- 

 men bring that amount to spend in the State every 

 year. In California the actual amount expended in 

 sport annually is much more than this, as hundreds of 

 anglers come from all over the world. 



In Avalon, the town of Santa Catalina, the boatmen 

 who guide and gaff for visiting anglers have nearly 

 two hundred thousand dollars invested in sport and its 

 appliances.
