24 A FISHERMAN'S PARADISE 



give a party of friends a club of their own, just such 

 as they want, which the years will continue to im- 

 prove and endear. On this side of the border it is 

 now practically impossible to obtain really good 

 trout fishing, within reasonable limits of distance 

 and without exorbitant expenditure, hence the real

 share of stock will not only give him joy while he 

 lives, but will be treasured, more and more highly, 

 by his sons, grandsons, and generations still further 

 in the future.

 ouauaniche from a small lake near by, put in one 

 day at San Bernard, with excellent success, and then 

 went up to Camp Parmelee. In all the waters 

 accessible from this latter camp the fishing was sim-

 sizes being so numerous, and taking the fly so read-

 seventeen fish in an hour, ranging from half a pound 

 to one and three-quarters, and once hooked and 

 landed a triple catch, one of one pound, one of a 

 pound and a quarter, and one of a pound and three- 

 quarters. All these fish were returned to the water
