THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 279 
We ate fish for almost every meal, and had plenty for the other 
campers who were less fortunate; or who had only planned to spend 
a day or so sightseeing; or who did not come prepared to fish. If you 
want to fish, you are bound to catch fish, that’s all, and Bill will show 
you where to get the big ones, too. His mother caught a dandy rainbow 
trout while we were there that must have weighed at least six pounds. 
It certainly was a beauty. 
We also spent two days of our time at Crescent Lake, which is 
only six miles from Lake Odell. One can drive right to the lake over 
a splendid road. Fishing here is equally as good as at Odell, and the 
two boys who own the boats will 
see that you have a good time. 
“They are very accommodating 
and will treat you in a manner 
that is sure to make you want 
to pay them another visit. The 
boats were not very good this 
year, but they are going to have 
several new ones next summer. 
When you go to either one of 
these lakes you need not bother 
about a six-inch rule, for the 
trout are big ones and you don’t 
have to worry about their being 
too small to keep. 
So, my fellow fishermen, if you 
like to fish, and want some real 
fishing, as well as a trip that you 
can’t forget, try Lake Odell and 
Crescent Lake next summer. You 
will find, too, that we do not 
have to leave the state of Oregon 
to get royal sport with the spoon Five and three-quarter pound Rain- 
bow caught by Robt. L. Good, of 
and fly. The Dalles, in Lake Odell. 

WANTS TO GET BACK TO THE OLD 
WILLAMETTE 
Lafayette, Indiana, Sept. 24, 1917. 
The Oregon Sportsman: 
Enclosed please find my subseription to The Oregon Sportsman for 
one year. The best time of my life was spent along the ‘‘Old Lammit,’’ 
and I will be glad when the time comes for me to go back to that beau- 
tiful country to live. Plenty of ‘‘Redsides’’ in the ‘‘Old Lammit’’ 
good enough for me. 
Yours truly, 
ALBERT CRIDER,
