 waters are full of different varieties of fish. It is reached directly by two daily 

 lines of palace cars, that leave Chicago morning and night via the Chicago and 

 North-western Railroad, and stop in front of the hotel that has been opened for 

 the use of the summer tourists who flock to the place. About fifteen miles west 

 of Ableman's is the divide, and in the streams running west, brook trout can be 

 found ; in the streams running east, pickerel and bass.

Sliehoygart County — 



Elkhart Lake is sixty miles north of Milwaukee, on the Wisconsin Centra] 

 Railroad, and is becoming very popular, and deservedly so. The lake is a beau- 

 tiful sheet of water, and furnishes fine facilities for black bass fishing, boating, or 

 sailing. There are two hotels on its banks, and both are well kept. 



Trettb'pealeau. County^ 



A rcadia is on the Green Bay and M innesota Railroad one hundred and ninety- 

 two miles from Green Bay. There are many fine trout streams in the vicinity. 

 The pinnated grouse shooting all through the county is excellent. 



Walworth County — 



In the county are twenty-four lakes, among which, are Lakes Geneva, 

 Crooked, Army. Potter's Booth, Lulu, Como, Turtle, "Whitewater. Bass, Hol- 

 den's, Grove, Middle, Mill, Otter and Pleasant, ranging from one-half mile wide 

 and one mile long, to three or ten miles wide to ten or twelve miles long. All 

 are stocked with fish, and on several of them are various pleasure boats, mclud- 

 ing yachts and steamers, and on the shores of several are club-houses and sum- 

 mer hotels. 



Geneva, a delightful and growing place of summer resort, is situated at the foot 

 01 Geneva Lake, and is headquarters for the cisco campaign. But during the 

 " run " thousands of people from the surrounding country visit the shores, hun- 

 dreds of people tent on the beach, and scores of camp fires are seen on all sides 

 in the calm summer nights. It is worth the while for any enthusiastic piscator to 

 go a-ciscomg once in his life at least. He will very likely conclude that it is not 

 equal to salmon or trout fishing, but he will find his skill and patience sufficiently 

 taxed to make his first dozen ciscoes seem a genuine and thnlling victory (See 

 Elkhorn.) 



Geneva is about sixty miles northwest from Chicago, and easily reached by 

 rail via the Chicago and North-western Railroad. Good hotel accommodation 

 and all sorts of boating facilities may be had at reasonable rates. Two fine side 

 wheel steamers make regular trips from Geneva to Fontana and all intermediata 

 9oint5.
