The rules of the club provide that if a member 

 has a guest only one rod may be fished, and the 

 fish killed by the guest are charged to the score 

 of the member. Only eight fish per day can be 

 taken by any one rod. As an instance of what 

 has been done on this great river, Mr. Kennedy 

 of New York fished there from June 19 to and

 for the last four days. Some of the time the fish- 

 ing was much hindered by the great quantity of 

 logs floating down the river, and several days 

 were broken by heavy rain. 



The catch was, in thirteen fishing days : 



Mr. Kennedy, 64 salmon 1725 Ibs., average 26^ Ibs. 

 Guest, 8 salmon 242 Ibs., average 30^ Ibs. 



Largest fish (taken by Mr. Kennedy) forty-four 

 pounds ; there were five fish of forty pounds and 

 over, and twenty-four of thirty pounds and over.

 a large river, but only fishable a short distance 

 from the sea by reason of a large fall. I have no 

 statistics of this fishing, but the average weight is 

 very large. I saw on one of the Gulf port steam- 

 ers, twenty years since, four fish caught there,
