division of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, is the 

 celebrated summer resort called 



/ 



GREEN LAKE, 



a beautiful sheet of water of great depth and clearness, peo- 

 pled with black and other descriptions of basse, pickerel, eto 

 and visited by people from New York, St. Louis, Chicago, 

 and Milwaukee. A friend, who writes me of the game in 

 this lake, says : " It is noted for its fine fishing and still 

 finer fish. The boss game-fish, however, are the black basse, 

 the yellow or white basse, and what is called here the 

 ' green basse ' — all celebrated for their fine qualities at the 

 table and gameness in the water. The black basse, taken in 

 the lake, average four and a half to five pounds in weight, 

 and run as high as eight pounds each. Ten thousand Cali- 

 fornia salmon, now six inches long (winter of 1876), are in 

 the lake, and several thousand land-locked salmon from 

 Maine are to be added, making it a lively place to fish. The 

 lake contains, besides, pickerel, perch, rock basse, and white- 

 fish." 



GENEVA LAKE, 



forty-five miles from Milwaukee, the home of the celebrated 

 little " cisco," is an attractive and much-admired place of 

 pleasure for visitors from Chicago, Milwaukee, and the South- 

 ern States. In addition to the usual stock of pickerel, perch, 

 and basse, a half-million of Hack and Oswego basse, salmon- 

 trout, and California salmon, have been put in the lake, to 

 which assortment two millions more are to be added from a 

 batching-house on the banks of the lake.
