FRESNO COUNTY. 



The sporting facilities of Fresno are in all respects similar to those^of 

 Kern and Tulare, with which latter county it is in political contact. -It 

 has a continuation of the mountain field northerly from that of Tulare, 

 and the fauna and flora are identical. In the valley reasonable bags of 

 ducks, snipe, plover, doves, larks and quail can be had, and trout in the 

 flowing waters ; but the best grounds and streams are in the foothills and 

 mountains. In a tract of woodland known as Pine Ridge (to be reached

from Fresno) fine sport with rod and gun can be enjoyed. Quail are 

 specially abundant, and to these may be added all varieties of game birds 

 usually found in the Sierra foothills. Deer are plentiful, and no better 

 sport need be asked for than one can enjoy with rod and line over the 

 upper waters of Kings River and the San Joaquin. Nothing but the 

 wide-spread sporting attractions of California prevents these higher lands 

 of Fresno from becoming famous.
