98 THE SPORTSMAN’S AND TOURIST’S GUIDE. 
as broadbill, sheldrake, whistler, buffle- 
head, brant, black duck, and in short 
nearly every kind found on any fresh 
water, and in great abundance. 
Of pigeons there is a full share, but 
as they are strictly birds of passage they 
must be taken flying. Since the advent 
of the Connecticut Western Railroad, 
numerous parties of campers out visit 
the lakes from Hartford, Pittsfield, and 
other near towns, and picnic parties in 
Summer are even more numerous, as 
many as five or six car loads of juvenile 
health seekers being left some days at 
the grove near the station, which affords 
ample shade, and, under the care of Herr 
Odenbright, adequate accommodation. 
The cave is always a place of great resort 
during the dry season, and to those curi- 
ous in stalactite and stalagmite-y lure its 
many ‘‘ marble walls” (limestone, by the 
way) seem to afford amusement as end- 
less as are its but partially explored 
depths. Boats may be had for the ask- 
ing (price fifty cents per day) of Mr. 
Odenbright, near the Twin Lakes Sta- 
tion, and on the large lake of E. Sherman 
Pease, the artist, angler, hunter, and 
trapper. 
A PLEASANT PENNSYLVANIA 
TROUT STREAM. 
Afield and Afloat tells anglers who 
seek good trout fishing and a pleasant 
stream to fish, within easy distance where 
they can find just what they want by 
taking the train at the Pennsylvania 
Railroad depot to Young Woman’s 
Town, at the mouth of Young Woman’s 
Creek, Clinton county, Pennsylvania. 
Good hotel accommodations may be had 
at the station, at reasonable rates, and 
the landlord will get you an early break- 
fast and have a nice lunch put up when | 
you want to go up the creek, The 
stream is wide and open enough to afford 
fine fly fishing over ten miles, without 
having your leader hung up in the trees 
every third cast. That will save some 
profanity. It has the reputation among 
those who do not fish it, or haven’t the 
know how, of being fished out, but the 
writer has never failed to make a good 
basket after throwing back the little 
ones, which we hope you will do, The 
right hand branch, which joins the main 
stream less than two miles from the river, 
affords good sport, except when the log- 
gers are using the splash dams. On the 
main stream you may be sure that the 
trout ‘‘ ye have always with you,” but if 
you fish below the mouth of the branch 
you will be bothered with chubs. Ifyou 
have a week or even a few days to spare 
go up to the ‘ten mile camp ”—there 
will be no trouble in getting a ride with 
the lumbermen, if you have a flask, a 
cigar, or tobacco pouch—where you will 
be comfortably taken in and done for, in 
a cosy log shanty, and your bill of fare, 
if you get tired of trout, will be mackerel, 
salt pork, hot bread, fried potatoes, and 
tea. There is no trouble from gnats and 
mosquitoes until late in the Summer, but 
if you go in August, you'll be convinced 
that Beecher and Farrar have not en- 
tirely abolished everlasting torment. The 
cost of the trip, for railroad fare, board 
for one week, and moderate etceteras, 
will not exceed $20. 
PEWAUKEE LAKE, WISCONSIN. 
Parties from Milwaukee and Wauke- 
sha are constantly visiting this place for 
ducks and fish. The lake is very clear 
and pretty, and affords an abundance of 
food for both ducks and fish. ‘The fish 
are pickerel, pike, bass, perch, &c., and 
the wild fowl of every conceivable va- 
riety Hotcl accommodations good.
