 with every flood tide, 

 and go out again with 

 the ebb; these fish 

 have been designated 

 'tide trout.' They 

 are of large size, and 

 are readily taken by 

 fly fishers from the 

 sides of the gully, 

 just as the flood 

 begins to make. The 

 sportsman, standing 

 on the bar amid kelp 

 and sea weed, may 

 here have excellent 

 sport for about an 

 hour each tide, until 

 driven off by the ad- 

 vancing waves. He 

 may then follow the 

 fish up to the basin, 

 taking them at every 

 cast, and perhaps 

 conclude the fishing 

 for that tide under 

 the stern or alongside 

 some large vessel 

 loading in the basin.

 all appear to move 

 out to sea in a body.
