FISH NOTES. 



One of the finest specimens of the Tyee 

 salmon ever caught in the vicinity of Ta- 

 coma, by hook and line, was landed near 

 Point Defiance recently by R. P. Hughes. 

 The big fellow weighed 38^2 pounds, was 

 3 feet i^4 inches from tip to tip and 2854 

 inches about the girth. 



The fish was landed with line, attached 

 to rod and reel. The lucky angler was one 

 hour in landing the salmon. He thought 

 at first he had hooked a seal, and it was 10 

 minutes before the fish appeared at the sur- 

 face. He leaped into the air and made a 

 gamey resistance against capture. Two 

 lines were tied together, with which to play 

 the fish.

A subscriber asks the names of the dif- 

 ferent bass flies, and the time of year when 

 they should be used. An expert answers: 



" For fly casting, for bass, the best time 

 is the early part of June, although some 

 anglers have good success in early July. 

 Flies for casting are dressed on No. 2 and 

 No. 4 hooks, and the best known varieties 

 are Royal Coachman, Scarlet Ibis, Pro- 

 fessor, Montreal, Red Hackle, Reuben 

 Wood, Governor Alvord, Lake George, 

 Silver Doctor, and Seth Green. . 



" July and August are the best months 

 for trolling. Flies for trolling are dressed 

 on No. 1 and 1-0 hooks." 



O. C. Baker, Noblesville, Ind., requests 

 information as to the best bait for sturgeon, 

 in July and August. The U. S. Fish Com- 

 mission replies that it has no information 

 that can apply to these 2 particular months, 

 in the region mentioned. Crayfish, other- 

 wise known as " crabs " among the fisher- 

 men, are found in the stomachs of sturgeon 

 taken during the summer months. 



These " crabs " are often used by fish- 

 ermen, on their set lines, and sturgeon are 

 secured with this bait when all other kinds 

 of bait fail to attract them. Fresh water 

 snails and mussels might also be tried. 



Would like to ask through Recreation, 

 what flies are best for brook trout in the 

 streams of this State.

A telegram from Three Lakes. Wis., 

 dated June 7th, says J. S. Vilas, A. C. Bos- 

 sard, and W. C. Drake, all of Kaukauna. 

 Wis., fished at Three Lakes, on the 6th, and 

 caught 105 black bass and pickerel. 



Thomas Richards, of the Fleming house, 

 prides himself on having made the largest 

 trout catch of the, season. One day last 

 week he caught 10 pounds between 9 a.m. 

 and 3 p.m.
