RECREA TION. 



Miss Emma Libby, daughter of Captain 

 Libby. of the Puget Sound Boat Company, 

 recently caught 81 trout in 2 hours. The 

 remarkable catch was made in Lake Cres- 

 cent, South of Port Angeles, with a 7 ounce 

 lod and flies tied by a local dresser. The 

 trout were all of the steel-head variety, and 

 none of them weighed less than a pound. 

 The average weight was 3 pounds, which 

 made a total of 243 pounds. The young 

 lady is said to weigh less than 150, so that 

 she caught nearly double her weight of fish 

 during the short time she was at it. 



You can't expect anything better of some 

 men, than that they should act the hog 

 whenever they get a chance; but it would 

 seem that the finer sensibilities with which 

 women are endowed should cause them to 

 shudder at the mere thought of such ruth- 

 less slaughter as this. — Editor. 



I have just got back from North Bay, 

 Canada, where I tried the aluminum auto- 

 matic reel you sent me, for 10 subscriptions 

 to Recreation. The reel is a dandy, and 

 every angler should have one, especially 

 when they are so easily gotten. I thank you 

 for the promptness with which you sent it.
