7 and 9 Warren St.. NEW YORK 



Just returned from Moosehead. The fish- 

 ing was fair. Caught a land-locked salmon 

 weighing 3 pounds. Took 23 minutes to 

 land it. Gave it to one Harrison, who took 

 it to Boston, claimed it weighed 4 pounds 

 and said he caught it. This fish showed 

 more fight in still water than any ouananiche 

 I saw last spring.

BROOK TROUT. 



The Blue Hills Trout Preserve Co., which 

 is situated in Kensington, a short distance 

 from Meriden, Ct., has recently built in 

 connection with its hatchery a dam, which 

 forms the Blue Hills lake, located at the 

 head waters of the Blue Hills stream. This 

 has been well stocked with trout, affording 

 fly and bait fishing unequalled in New Eng- 

 land. This privilege is now open to the 

 public, the only charge being 50 cents a 

 pound for fish caught. There can also be 

 seen at the hatchery trout of all sizes for 

 stocking streams and preserves, including 

 half a million fry recently hatched. 



Superintendent H. J. Holdredge or his 

 assistant, whose house with wide veranda 

 overlooks the lake, can always be found 

 there and will be glad to welcome you at 

 any time. The Preserve is on the farm of 

 L. J. Peck, on the Blue Hills road between 

 New Britain and Meriden. Anyone desir- 

 ing can reach the place from Berlin Depot, 

 5 miles, New Britain about 6 miles, or from 

 Meriden, the most convenient and nearest 

 point, 3V2 miles. 



Yours very truly.
