216 CAMP FIRE REMINISCENCES 
Lake Bonneville, the Utah trout was found, while 
the Snake River above the Shoshone Falls yielded 
the Yellowstone trout, and below the cutthroat. 
Now, however, the busy game wardens have intro- 
duced foreign fish, and changed those from one 
stream to another, equally or more suitable, with 
the result that one’s basket at the end of the day 
may contain many varieties. Some of the rivers 
end in lakes, and then the big trout from the lake 
may be taken § in the river above. 
One of the most ideal trout streams is the Provo 
in Utah. Rising in a wild and broken country, far 
up amongst the Wasatch Mountains, in its course of 
sixty miles or so, it presents every sort of water that 
the sportsman’s mind can conceive. Ending in 
Utah Lake, big fish from this make their way up 
the stream and specimens weighing ten or twelve 
pounds are sometimes taken. The scenery along 
this river is in parts extremely beautiful, which 
adds greatly to its attractiveness. 
In Idaho the mountains are high, and as some 
of them carry snow all the year, the waters of many 
of its streams, being cold and swift, present ideal 
conditions. The country, being sparsely inhabited, 
one can soon leave the beaten track and have the 
hum of human traffic replaced by the murmur of the 
brook; so to Idaho I went, with the intention of try- 
ing a couple of its streams—Silver Creek and the 
North Fork of the Snake—and this was before the 
enactment of the limit laws. Within the last two 
or three years, however, great changes have taken ~ 
place in Idaho.
