CLOSED SEASON ON SIX-INCH TROUT. 



The open season on trout over six inches in length closed 

 October 31. From October 31 to March 31 of next year, it is 

 unlawful to catch or have trout in possession under ten inches 

 in length. 



Those anglers who fish during the winter months are likely 

 to hook many undersized fish. Care should be taken in removing 

 them from the hook and placing them in the water. One should 

 moisten the hand before taking hold of a live fish. If this is 

 not done, the dry hand often injures the fish and this causes a 

 growth of fungus or some similar disease. 



LATE BROODS OF PHEASANTS AND QUAIL. 



Deputy Game Wardens Russell and Parker report that on 

 August 30, 1914, they saw young Chinese pheasants between Hal- 

 sey and Tangent which were so young that they could not fly. 

 They thought the chicks were about three days old. 



On August 31, five miles southwest of Albany, they saw an- 

 other brood of young pheasants that were but a few days old. 



Mr. Russell reports that on September 11, at Dilley he saw 

 a bobwhite quail with six or eight chicks which were but two or 

 three days old. 



RECORD RAINBOW TROUT. 



W. F. Baldwin of Oroville, California, caught a rainbow trout 

 in Williamson river August 14 that weighed twenty-two pounds. 

 J. J. Furber of Klamath Falls measured the fish and found it 

 was two feet eight inches long and twenty and a half inches 

 around the body. It was caught with a No. 3 copper spoon and 

 with a six-ounce bamboo rod and light line.

On October 14, Deputy Game Warden J. J. Furber, Fritz 

 Mischnick and W. L. Frain while hunting in the vicinity of Fox 

 lake, Klamath county, saw six buck deer : Furber shot a fork- 

 horn and a three-pointer while Frain succeeded in killing a four- 

 pointer.
