110 ROD 6- CREEL 



It is a good river to fish for steelheads with a fly. Use one 

 either a Grouse and Claret or Jock Scott. 



In July and August some good fly fishing can often be had. 

 The best flies are Tippet and Yellow, Tippet and Green, Royal 

 Coachman, Teal and Green, Cow Dung, and Blue Doctor; some- 

 times also the Stone Fly. 



STAVE LAKE 



This is a big lake some ten miles long and from one to two 

 wide. It is best reached by auto from Mission Junction, a 

 drive of over fifteen miles on a poor road. It can also be 

 reached from Ruskin by trail. 



There is no accommodation on the lake. It is an ideal place 

 for a week's camping. The fishing is principally confined to 

 trolling, but there are a number of creeks emptying into the 

 lake where big rainbows can be taken on the fly. The best of 

 these creeks is the one that runs in near the outlet. May is 

 the best month for this creek. 



There are also several smaller lakes which can be easily 

 reached by trail, some of them are full of trout from a half to 

 three-quarter pounds which will take the fly readily. 



The best flies are the Montreal, Grouse and Claret, March 

 Brown and all the Teals. 



HARRISON MILLS 



A little over two hours' run from Vancouver on the C. P. R. 

 will take you to this station, where there is a boarding house 

 at which some sort of accommodation can be had. 



The Harrison River passes close to the station and empties 

 into the Fraser about a mile below. It is a big river with a 

 small amount of current. Some fair fishing for trout can be had 

 here in early spring or fall, the summer months are no good 

 on account of the freshets. 



It is an excellent place for fly fishing for salmon in Octo- 

 ber, or for trolling. All the fishing has to be done from boat 

 or canoe, the latter being easy to get as a number of Indians 

 live close by. The best water is about half a mile down stream 

 off a rocky point on the west bank. 



CHEEHALIS CREEK 



This creek, which is of fair size, runs for about ten miles 

 from Cheehalis Lake into Harrison River. It can be reached 

 by taking an Indian with a canoe and going several miles up 

 the Harrison or by going down the Harrison from the Harrison 

 Lake Hotel (mentioned later on) by launch or boat. There is 

 no accommodation at the creek, unless at some settlers. On
