IISHING AND HUNTING IN WALLOWA 
COUNTY 
By WARDEN GEO. W. MITCHELL, Enterprise, Oregon 
July and August, and the tourist and sportsman will find no 
better place to spend his vacation than in Wallowa County, 
where one can get away from the city to one of the most pleasant 
climates in Oregon. 
‘Here we would like to mention the Little Salmon River, situated 
about fifty miles north of Enterprise, which may be reached by auto 
either from Wallowa or Enterprise. This stream will delight the 
fisherman or hunter who desires a place where he may camp and have 
both hunting and fishing. It is usually at its best about the last of 
August. 
“The south fork of the Wallowa River will also furnish the sports- 
man with one of the most beautiful places to spend his vaeation, 
where he may get back in the high mountains, where there is an 
abundance of fish and game and a fine place to camp for a month or 
two. This stream may be reached from the main highway near Lostine 
and ean be traveled by auto for some twenty miles up in the moun- 
tains. Here one may also enjoy lake fishing, as there are a number 
of lakes that can be reached by pack horses over good trails to each 
of them. These lakes were stocked with rainbow and Eastern brook 
trout about five years ago and will furnish good sport for the angler. 
The Imnaha River in the eastern part of the county, about thirty 
miles from Enterprise, can be reached by auto and has good camping 
grounds where one can get plenty of good fruit, as well as good fish- 
ing. This stream has not been stocked and the fish are mostly moun- 
tain and Dolly Varden trout. 
Aneroid Lake, about fourteen miles above Joseph, is noted for its 
large brook trout and ean be reached only by horse and pack outfit; 
also Horseshoe Lake, only a few miles farther up in the mountains. 
That is where they get the }ig ones. 
Last, but not least, is the beautiful Wallowa Lake, situated at the 
foot of the Granite Mountains on the main, highway, near Joseph. 
where the tourist may lounge in the shade of the mountain pine and 
forget all his troubles, 
The hunting season will soon be on and the hunter will find it to
