NOTES FROM COUNTIES 



BENTON. 



There has been very good bass 

 fishing in Porter Lake, ten miles 

 south of Corvallis. Fish range from 

 one to three pounds and are caught 

 by using live minnows. 



CLACKAMAS. 



There is very little fishing at pres- 

 ent in the vicinity of Oregon City. 

 Fly fishing is good on the upper 

 waters of the Molalla and Clack- 

 amas Eivers. The lower parts of 

 these streams are fished out on 

 account of being so close to Portland. 



* * * 



In Oswego Lake fish have been 

 biting very well early in the morn- 

 ing and late in the evening. A num- 

 ber of bass have been caught re- 

 cently by using live minnows and 

 frogs. 



* * * 



Crappie and bass fishing are re- 

 ported good in Kellogg Lake. Craw- 

 fish and minnows are used for bait. 



CURRY. 



Frank C. Macheney, L. H. Dart 

 and H. A. Pollack, of Portland, have 

 returned from a ten days' hunting 

 trip in Curry County. Eight deer 

 were killed, the largest weighing 150 

 pounds. This party reports deer be- 

 ing more plentiful than last season.

Fishing in the streams around 

 Eoseburg is fair. Cut-throats and 

 rainbows running in size from six 

 to twelve inches and steelheads 

 running from sixteen to eigh- 



teen inches in length are taken in 

 the North Umpqua; bait used, flies 

 and spoons.

J. E. Clark, of Yoncalla, reports 

 that July 13 he caught nineteen trout 

 in Elk Creek, and on July 20 he 

 caught twenty in Adam's Creek. The 

 last catch he got with gray fly baited 

 with angle worms and grasshoppers. 

 Adam's Creek is about four miles 

 from Yoncalla, while Elk Creek is 

 about six miles. Both are within 

 easy reach.
