190 THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 



The Anglers' Club members are commencing to receive the benefits 

 of their great care in the protection and careful handling of trout at 

 this point, as the best of fly-fishing, trolling and bait fishing may be 

 had at most any time of the year in which trout and salmon may be 

 caught with hook and line. 



Since the planting of the streams with large Eastern brook trout, 

 the club has secured the closing of the streams tributary to the Necan- 

 icum river by the Fish and Game Commission and during the next 

 two years great results are anticipated by the members, when these 

 trout propagate in sufficient numbers to declare the streams open to 

 fishing. 



Seaside streams are noted far and wide as among the best for 

 all year-round fishing in the State of Oregon. The Necanicum and 

 Wahanna rivers that flow through the heart of the city are daily be- 

 sieged by fishermen who return with baskets well filled. The Lewis 

 & Clark River, six miles distant over the mountains, is teeming with 

 mountain and cut-throat on the upper river and near the mouth hun- 

 dreds of salmon trout are caught. The Nehalem river, within a half- 

 day's travel of Seaside by wagon affords the wielder of the rod and 

 reel a paradise for angling never to be forgotten.

FRY DOING FINE AT GOLD HILL. 



Gold Hill, Ore., October 23, 1915. 

 Mr. Carl Shoemaker, 

 Portland, Oregon. 



My Dear Sir: 



Complying with your request for a report on the condition of the 

 fry liberated in Rogue River at this place a short time ago, I beg to 

 state that from close observation they seem to be doing exceedingly well. 

 At the point where they were liberated there is a comparatively large 

 expanse of smooth water and in the evening thousands of the fish can 

 be seen jumping out of the water. Included in the shipment were quite 

 a lot of Eastern brook trout and these can be easily distinguished by 

 the red marking on their sides. Yours respectfully, 



H. D. REED, 

 Sec. Gold Hill Rod and Gun Club. 



YOUNGEST CLUB DOING WELL. 



By Fred E. Safely, Sutherlin, Oregon. 



Perhaps the youngest member of the many organizations of sports- 

 men in Oregon is the "Sutherlin Rod and Gun Club." 



Though only about a couple of months old it contains about 50 

 enthusiastic members. The object of its existence is, as is stated in its 

 constitution, to become better acquainted with the wild animal life, 

 the birds and fish of Oregon and to render all the assistance possible 

 to the conservation and development of those resources which make 

 Oregon and especially Douglas County a veritable "Hunters' and Fish- 

 ers' Paradise." Many of us came here from the Middle West and 

 states even farther east and we have recollections of boyhood days,
