SALMON AT BANGOR. 



A CORRESPONDENT under date of June 8 reports 

 thus on the salmon fishing in the Penobscot at 

 3angor, Me. : One of our papers of Saturday says: "The 

 almon took to the fly very readily Saturday," and the 

 ishermen had some fine sport. The following was the 

 esult of the day's fishing as near as could be learned: 

 fa. Arbhibald Mitchell, two fish, 2H and 22lbs.; Mr. F. 

 V. Ayer, 201bs.; Mr. H. M. Prentiss, "20ilbs.: Mr. Dodge, 

 91bs.; Mr. P. McCarthy, lOlbs. Dr. Elliot, of Lawrence, 

 lass., hooked one. but lost it, and Mr. McCarthy had the 

 ame ill fortune. Yesterday Mr. Mitchell caught a fish 

 if good size. The fish are nnw rising to the fly in a lively 

 aanner, and for some time the fishermen have been en- 

 oying good luck. The water is now geting lower and is 

 avorable for the fishing." 



Our salmon fishing is probably now at its best, as the 

 ood is now past. Please remember that salmon fishing 

 l tide water below a dam is entirely unlike true salmon 

 ngling. The fish only come up to pass the fishway and 

 am, and do not lie long. There is but little casting, 



lostly allowing the fly to drift with the current. Even 

 ^ere it otherwise there are too many boats for the ex- 

 anse of water. A kindly friendly spirit pervades all, 

 ut many of the little courtesies that are respected but 

 nwritten laws among anglers are unknown here where 

 iany are fishing for a dinner. 



A Game Carp.— In the latter part of October. 1888, I 

 r as instrumental in placing some mirror carp in a little 

 and hole of some 16,000ft. square in the woods at West 

 arnstable, Cape Cod. This little pond is supplied by the 

 lin shed of its surroundings and could not have been 

 per 5ft. deep at its deepest part, and was overgrown 

 "ith aquatic plants, grasses and weeds, with only occa- 

 mal spots of clear water. The carp were none of them 

 n. in length at the time of planting. On May 30 we 

 >ok one by means of a hook (a small smelt hook or horse 

 lir, with a 4oz. trout rod), finding her to measure I6in. 

 length, weighing 2|lbs. and full of spawn, and further - 

 ore, after twelve hours (alive) in cold water, it was 

 oked and pronounced of fine flavor, equal to and tasting 

 te chicken halibut. I had five minutes of good sport 

 she made the reel sing, and was game until I gave her 

 e butt in earnest, wanting to make the capture more 

 r information than sport, and being fearful of the 

 ■ength of tackle. Another pond in which I placed 

 rp seven years ago I propose to examine later in the 

 ason, and if they have increased in size equally or pro- 

 (rtionately to these I shall expect some monsters if I 

 ,n catch one.— Reignolds. 



scaled and small-scaled species of Catostninus (C. teres and 

 ('. cutostomm). The horned pout is Amiurus nehnlnsvs 

 and the chaflu is the common fall fish, also known as mock 

 trout (Semvtilus tmllaria). No adequate explanation of 

 sudden mortality among fishes has yet been offered. Epi- 

 demics of this kind have occurred in streams which were 

 not polluted by modern nuisances such as sewerage and 

 factory refuse. The latter undoubtedly produce mortality 

 among fishes, but there are other unknown causes. The 

 weakened condition following the breeding seasou is one 

 source of danger, overcrowding is another, and sudden dis- 

 appearance of food is a third. None of these would explain 

 the case in question.] 



UTILITY OP TROUT CULTURE.— In Mr. Milton P. 

 Peirce's paper on this topic, issue of May 29, page 373, the 

 author's comparison of certain stocked streams with streams 

 which have been left to nature was incorrectly printed. 

 This sentence should have read: "Upon one edge of this 

 region, a neighboring, local fishing club have been restock- 

 ing with trout during the past few years, and to this fact 

 have given credit for the gradual improvement which has 

 been observed, when the other streams in the region, which 

 have ncveT been restocked, have given still better results. 

 In one case the streams have been overstocked; in the other 

 the increase has been natural."

Waban Lake, MaES. — We have just received informa- 

 m from fishing parties of Wellesiey. Two gentlemen 

 ught about 100 large yellow perch and four good-sized 

 ckerel in a single day. On May 29 an angler took a big 

 eel full of perch and three pickerel, and declared this 



be the best fishing he has had this year. There is 

 mething peculiar about the pickerel (Esox retieiilatus) 



Waban Lake; many of them have crooked tails, the 

 suit, apparently, of inherited deformity. We have 

 ied for some time to secure one of these abnormal ex- 

 nples, but so far without success. 



The Wissahickon Creek, Philadelphia, which has 

 :en closed for six years, was thrown open to the public 

 ine 4, and great crowds of fishermen w^ere in attendance 

 capture some of the fish supposed to be there. But 

 e result was disappointing. Sunfish were found in 

 >odly supply, but the black bass caught were few and 

 lall, and there were no rainbow trout.

 % and small game in Canada are fully described, the best route 

 each pointed out, and a vast amount of valuable information 

 esented in most interesting siiape. The descriptive matter 

 vers a broad and varied field, touching upon every noted sport- 

 l locality in Canada between the Atlantic and the Pacific 

 sans, and also refers to the States of Maine, Michigan and Wis- 

 nsin. It is bound in convenient pocket form and is handsomely 

 astrated. Other useful books are "The New Highway to the 

 ient" and "Summer Tours," issued for the benefit of travelers 

 general. Copies of anv or all of these may he obtained free 

 on application to any agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway,

FISH MORTALITY IN MASSACHUSETTS. 



litor Forest and Stream* 



While boating on Charles River, Mass., May 25, 1890, 1 saw 

 sat numbers of dead fish strewn along the banks or caught 

 on snags. They seemed to he principally suckers, horned 

 uts and chafins (local names, but I trust vou will recog- 

 se the species), a few black bass, but strange to say, I saw 

 pickerel or perch, although both occur plentifully in the 

 er. 



caught a number of fish that were still alive, bub dying; 

 sy appeared to act in a dazed condition, swimming near 

 i surface and moving about in circles. Upon examining 

 Teral large handsome ones no outward signs of disease 

 re apparent except near the vent, which part appeared 

 ollen and red. 



L friend who went fishing to Lower Falls a few days ago 

 jornis me the same sight is to be seen there. By fbllow- 

 the river Lower Falls is at least 15 miles from Wellesiey, 

 [if this state of affairs occurs between and also above and 

 low these two points, as it undoubtedly does, what a tre- 

 indous slaughter of fish there has been. 

 iVill you or any of' your readers kindly inform me the 

 ise of this destruction of fish life ? If due to sewerage, 

 use paints or dyes, which are poured unhesitatingly into 

 my of our New England streams, is there no law which 

 i be called upon to put a stop to this business?

COLLIE CLUB STAKES FOR 1891. 



Editor Forest, and Stream: 



The Collie Club Stakes for 1891 will not be divided as was 

 attempted this season, but the eutire stake will be competed 

 for at the Westminster Kennel Club bench show, the club 

 reserving the right, however, to select some other show for 

 a portion of the stakes if deemed desirable. 



Collies born on or after July 1 will be elligible to compete 

 in all the stakes, provided the conditions heretofore pub- 

 lished shall have been complied with. 



Entries for the grand Collie Sweepstakes, entrance fee $5, 

 will close Sept. 1, 1890. It is expected that this will be the 

 most valuable stake of the series, as any collie born in the 

 United States or Canada within the specified date may com- 

 pete, whether owned by a member or not. The Collie* Club 

 will add -$100 to the Produce Stake, nominations for which 

 will close at same date as the sweepstakes. The fees 

 for the Futurity Stake having all been paid and all being 

 entitled to compete, nominations for this stake will be 

 received up to the date for closing entries at the bench 

 show. It is expected that the A. K. C. will add $50 to 

 this stake. The usual Stud Dog Stakes will be omitted, 

 but the club medal will be offered as a special prize, to be 

 awarded to the owner of the best stud dog, to be judged by 

 two of his get, out of different dams, which may be the 

 property of different, owners. This prize is restricted to 

 dogs at public stud in the United States or Canada, said 

 dogs to be registered with the secretary of the Collie Club. 

 Nominations of progeny to compete will not be required, 

 but owners may select any present at the show which answer 

 the requirements specified above, the same date of birth to 

 govern as in the regular stake. 



This club has contracted with the Whiting Manufactur- 

 ing Co. for a medal, which will be finished during this 

 month, that will be one of the best specimens of such work 

 ever offered by any club, J. D. Shotwell, Secretary. 

 113 Highland Avenue, Orange, N. J. 



THIS MAN APPEARS TO HAVE FRIENDS. -Wash- 

 ington, D. O, June 6,— Editor Forest and Stream: I know 

 little or nothing of the matter in controversy in the A. K.C. 

 regarding Mr. Peshall; but I do know that Mr. Peshall is a 

 genial, liberal-minded, upright gentleman, good-hearted 

 and jolly, and, as I verily believe, incapable of doing a 

 wrong to any one.— Jerome Burnett. 



ANOTHER ENGLISH SETTER CLUB.— Major Taylor 

 informs us that a call will be published next week, signed 

 by many prominent breeders and owners of English setters 

 in the United States, to form a club to promote the best in- 

 terests of the breed. The date for the meeting has not yet 

 been decided upon, but it will probably be held during the 

 last week of this mo nth. 



THE HOMESTEAD KENNELS, owned by Mr. H. S. Pit- 

 kin, Hartford, Conn., are going in strong for St. Bernards 

 The kennels contain the blood of nearly all the noted 

 champions of the present day, and it is expected that the 

 youngsters will give a good account of themselves at the 

 shows next spring.
