 lishing has ne\er ben hetlei than il lias been at ihis place 

 for the past month, and the hotels have been well patronised 

 with the lovers of the sport. It is HO unusual thin- for the 



yachts to eorncindiily « iiiian arerflge catch of rive hundred 

 weakfish taken, with shrimp and sheddar crab, off the mouth 

 of the river near the Riverside House. The besl average 

 CatCfl in si/.c has been done in Hie vachl Ihirii.-i. by Messrs. 

 Charles .1. BuUdeyaud Henry Ellsworth, of N.-u Fork, whose 

 patience and perseverance in their desire to obtain the largest 

 Jish has been rewarded b\ a goodh number of fish daiij thai 

 would weigh from three to four pounds each, TheBiverside

F.siiiNo IS tiik NKi'iiioN.-- Charles II. Allgftl and Y\. H. 

 Ueid returned home last Tuesday from a fishing excursion 

 to the Napigon Elver, where thcyfairly revelled in.sport 



dear to the lover of rod and Hue. They found the famous 

 river still Upholding its old reputation as tfae home of speckled 

 trout that in average size me unsurpassed b\ .uic lo be found 

 iu waters known to the brotherhood, of anglers. It was a 

 common experience to have three trout hooked at once, any 

 one of which would weigh two to three pounds. Tnej made 

 no effort to catch for i he pleasure of bragging ah., in i he 

 KUniber. taken, and limited their catch to BOO or 800 To 

 prove what could be done, they in one hour's fishing caught 

 twenty-nine fish, which weighed 112 pounds. The Largest 

 taken weighed sis pounds and a half, and was caughl by 

 W. 11. Kciil on a tlv made by Robert Tangneuv. of this city, 

 who made all the Hies used bv the party. The most killing 

 flies' were found to be those called Tangneuyand Ellwanger. 



An imitation of the alewiv, ule by Tangneuv was foiind 



very attractive; in fact, all them ihat were nsed by the 

 anglers were literal! v bitten in pieces bythetrout, -/foevW*r

SiivKM v-Tn lii-t; Trout us One Hole.— Haralson" Co., 

 Ga., Aug-. 9. — Audubon, in one of his publications. I forget 

 which, mentions a friend insisting on using an artificial rlv 

 on a trour. stream in a wild forest, and adds, that he took but 

 one rish, none pf the others-would bite thereafter, although 

 In. Audubon, took many with the worm. One of your re- 

 cent correspondents mentions taking several tiout with the 

 fly f'rutn one hole, and expresses the opinion that this is 

 rarely done. I once took seventy-three trout from one hole 

 on it Nova Scotia stream, late in the season, entirely with 

 tlies. using the gray winded ll\ with red bodv. and the same 

 with yellow body, the red body appearing the favorite. The 

 hole was on a small stream near where it emptied into a 

 larger one. about fifteen by twentj feet In diameter and 

 5vi or six deep, The day w.-,s dark, with just a drip of 

 rain. The summer had been dry. with rather low water 

 in the stream.-. The grOSS weight of the tish eapmred was 

 about one huudred pounds. About ihrce hours were taken 

 in landing the fish.— W, T.
