EARLY TROUTING. 



In April, last, Mr. P and I went on 



a fishing trip to Spragueville, Munroe Co., 

 Pa. We stayed at Stites Mountain house, 

 which is the only hotel within 7 miles of 

 the place. 



There are 2 beautiful streams, one run- 

 ning at the front and the other at the back 

 of the hotel. 



I jointed my rod and was soon on the 

 banks of an deep pool which is within 

 200 feet of the hotel. After a few casts and 

 many changes of flies I gave up and was 

 soon back in the comfortable steam heated 

 sitting room. 



For the first 2 days the weather was very 

 cold, the thermometer touching 30 degrees, 

 and the water froze to our leaders. 



After waiting a day for the water to warm 

 a little, we drove up the back stream 3 

 miles and then fished down. The water 

 was too high to fish comfortably, and not 

 knowing the stream and pools we caught 

 only a few trout. 



During our stay Mr. P caught many 



large fish, some weighing 1 pound each. 



I am highly pleased with Recreation 

 and think it the best sportsmen's magazine 

 published. J. L. P., New York City. 



The Premo A. came to hand on the 21st. 

 I have not had time to try it yet, but the 

 reputation of the Rochester Optical Com- 

 pany is a guarantee that it will be O. K. 

 Many thanks for your prompt and courte- 

 ous treatment in this matter. I have a great 

 deal of pleasure in securing this club, and 

 consider myself doubly paid. 



C. E. Tucker, Hannibal, Mo. 



I have been so busy I neglected to an- 

 nounce the arrival of the Premo camera. I 

 have tried it, and to say I am pleased would 

 be a tame way of expressing my feelings. I 

 can only say, as hundreds of others say, 

 "How can you do it?" Recreation 

 alone is worth more than you ask for it. 

 It is clean, bright, and interesting, inside 

 and out.
