yellowtail, kingfish ; is in fact a combination Gulf of Mexico and Pacific 

 Coast menage. Call on the Southern Pacific Company, London, for 

 timetables, etc., thensailforNew York in June, July or August. Southern 

 Pacific steamers from New York to New Orleans, Sunset Line to San 

 Antonio, Texas, then to Port Aransas on the Gulf, a day's ride, to the 

 Tarpon dub, Mr. Cotter, secretary. Here the tarpon fishing is 

 assured. The heat I have found here in August was by no means oppres- 

 sive, and it was dehghtful on the water. Tarpon, kingfish, jewfish, 

 channel bass, etc., are the game, practically that of Florida. Two or 

 three weeks here then via Sunset Line from San Antonio to Los Angeles 

 (three days). This brings us to Santa CataUna Island, three hours or 

 so from Los Angeles, by the middle of August or September. The tuna 

 may and may not be here, but in September 1912, the Tuna Club records 

 show one hundred swordfish, and the other game is yellowtail, white sea- 

 bass, black sea-bass, etc. The angler can fish this region, then return via. 

 the Grand Canyon on the A. T., Santa Fd road, if he is short of time ; 

 if not, he should go north on Southern Pacific or Santa Pe road and fish 

 Lake Tahoe for the regal trout, the Tahoe trout ; to the Kern River Canyon 

 for golden trout ; to Del Monte on the Bay or Monteray for sea sahnon ; 

 then to San Prancisco for striped bass ; to the Russian River for steelhead ; 

 then to Klamath Lake for big rainbows, and so on north to Vancouver 

 for more trout and salmon. 



By addressing the Southern Pacific Company's agent, R. Falack,^in 

 London, a pamphlet on the various locahties can be obtained. The tourist- 

 angler will perceive that he is swinging around in a great circle trying 

 the greatest angling localities in the world, most of which are mentioned 

 in this volume. From Vancouver he may go into the splendid Canadian 

 Rockies, the Lakes of the Kootenay country to Bamf , Lake Louise, not 

 missing the Yellowstone National Park and its angling. To accomplish 

 all this properly the start from London should be made in June. From 

 Bamf the angler proceeds East to the various trout rivers and streams, 

 black bass and muscaUunge, to the Laurentian lakes, etc., finally reaching 

 Quebec or New York again, having swtmg completely around the greatest 

 angling circle in the world, well worth taking ample time to enjoy.
