256 SCIENCE OF FISHING. 



Michigan furnishes some excellent fishing, the waters 

 being largely stocked from the Great Lakes. Both kinds of 

 bass are found there, also pike and muskellunge, and other 

 fish of less note. There are so many good places that I 

 will not attempt to name them. Good rainbow trout fishing 

 may be had in the Au Sable and the fish grow to a large 

 size. Brook trout are found in the Upper Peninsula and 

 the northern part of the Lower Peninsula. 



In Wisconsin we have perhaps the best muskellunge 

 waters in the United States, the fish being found in the 

 waters of the Mississippi system. Black bass and other 

 fishes, such as calico bass, pickerel and perch are abundant. 

 Trout are found in the northern part in plenty. 



In Minnesota the fishing is practically the same as in 

 Wisconsin. 



Not much can be said regarding the fishing in Nebraska 

 and Kansas except that there are black bass, catfish, etc., 

 and several kinds of trout in the western part. In the Da- 

 kotas the best fishing is to be had in the eastern parts. 



Western Montana and Idaho are rich in trout, and the 

 Rocky mountain whitefish is found there also. Grayling are 

 also found in Montana. 



There is good trout fishing in Western Wyoming, fine, 

 I should say, for the streams coming down from the Rockies 

 are filled with these fish. Whitefish are also plentiful. 



Colorado is full of fine trout streams and there are 

 several kinds of trout found there. 



In Washington and Oregon there is fine fishing as the 

 Salmon and steelhead trout ascend all of the streams up 

 into Idaho. There are also the western brook trout and 

 other native fish as well as introduced kinds. 



California probably gives the best trout fishing of all of 

 the Pacific coast states, having a number of kinds of trout. 

 There are also other fish, and the sea angling of the south- 

 west coast is of the finest. Lake Tahoe, on the California-
