FOREST AND STREAM. 
[June 23, 1900. 
pounds. On- Aug. 18 last a party of railroad 
men— Mr. E. X. Hastings, superintendent of the Superior 
Division of the C, M. & St. P. road; Mr. W. E. Tyler, 
division passenger agent at Milwaukee, and Mr. C. E. 
Rollins, of Chicago, land agent of the same road — caught 
twenty-five rainbow trout which weighed 70 pounds. Mr. 
Rollins told me to-day that at the Twin- Falls of the 
PesliLigo he has known small-mouth bass, rainbow trout 
and brook trout all to be taken from the same pool^ — cer- 
tainly a very unusual and very sporting combination. 
The Eagle Brook, not far from the Wausaukee Club, in 
Wisconsin, is this year turning out some nice trout, 
though it is all brushy bait fishing. This week Mr. Rol- 
lins and his son Charles in one day caught respectively 
twenty-eight and thirty-two nice trout, and on the fol- 
lowing day respectively thirty-four and twenty-six. The 
average was about 9 inches in length. 
"Western Anglers. 
Mr. A. E. Bournique, of this cfty, leaves next Monday 
for a two months' visit to the fishing grounds of Wiscon- 
sin. He goes first to Eagle River and then to Trout 
]Lake. 
Dr. John R. Oughton leaves again to-day for the Madi- 
son lakes. 
Dr. Liddy, of this city, left on Friday for another trip 
to the Fox Lake country. 
One of the best catches of bass in this country this 
spring was made on three days this past week by Messrs. 
H. F. Craw and H. Kinsey, of this city, at Brown's Lake, 
Burling.on, Wis. These men caught sixty-three nice bass, 
and as they had no landing nets along they say they lost 
a good many fish which otherwise they might have saved. 
Mr. J. W. Parmalee and some friends, of this city, and 
also Mr. A. H. Sellers and wife, of this city, left this week 
for the Neepeenauk resort. 
Mr. J. W. Northrup, of this city, and his friend, Mr. 
Payson, from Boston, left on Thursday for a trip of some 
days at Squirrel Lake, Wis. 
Mr. Frank Lawrence, of this city, has gone East, and 
will try some sea fishing at Long Island. 
Mr. R. H. Southgate, of the Auditorium Hotel, of this 
city, has left for Little Trout Lake, Wis. 
Mr. C. F. Thompson, of this city, has gone to the Ash- 
land, Wis., country after some bass fishing, and will be 
gone for some days. 
Dr. J. L. Bingham, of this city, has gone to-day to have 
a day or so of bass fishing at Eagle Lake, Wis. 
Mr. Adolph J. Lichenstern, of Chicago, has gone to 
Oconomowoc Lake, Wis., outfitted fully for some of the 
big pickerel which haunt those waters. Others who go 
to the same spot, and for the same purpose, are Mr. George 
W. Davis and Mr. Kohl, of the Chicago Opera House. 
Mr. Frank Wright, of this city, has gone to Geneva 
Lake, Wis., for a few days. 
Mr. A. Vauer, of Chicago, goes to Lake Beulah, Wis., 
this week. 
Mr. Coy W. Hendricks, Mr. Thomas Harley and Mr. 
James Harley, all of Dowagiac, Mich., fished at Sister 
Lakes, Mich., this week, and report splendid success with 
the bass. 
Mr. James Keeley, managing editor of the Chicago 
Tribune, established a new record at Kilbourn, Wis., this 
spring. He fished on Mirror Lake, a water which now 
and then turns out a good fish, but which has been worked 
hard for a long while. In three days he took three 
fish, which weighed respectively 21, i7>< and 15^ pounds, 
Mr. Keeley reports a .peculiar experience with another big 
pickerel, p'robably a 2S-pound fish, which he struck in a 
little hole, where he hardly had room to turn round. This 
fish broke away with the spoon in his mouth, but he rose 
again at intervals of a few minutes until he had struck 
four times, but he was not hooked fair again. Then Mr. 
Keeley sent his boatman three miles back to the hotel 
after another kind of spoon, and an hour and a half later 
on this new spoon he raised the same big fish, but once 
more lost him. The old fellow then moved off into deep 
water and refused to be interviewed further. Part of this 
little bit of business was transacted while the partial 
eclipse of the sun of a couple of weeks ago was m 
progress. It may be that the pickerel thought the day of 
judgment had come anyhow, and so was trying to end his 
misspent life. ^ ^, , 
On next Thur.^day Messrs. George E. Cole, Charles 
Dennis, J. V. Clark and others of the Wishininne Club, of 
this eityj. start for their annual fishing trip at Manitowish. 
"Wis. 
Mr. Lee T. Waterman, one of the owners of the Daily 
News, of Des Moines, la,, will, on the Fourth of July, 
ioin a party of Chicago adertising men — Messrs. R. C. 
Brandon and Elmer E. Bullis, of the Lord & Thomas 
agency, and Mr. W. T. Davis, of the Kansas City Star— 
for an extended trip after muscallunge in the upper Wis- 
con'=in waters. 
Mr. J AV. Akers, of this city, starts with some friends 
in early July for a camping and fishing trip on the Pigeon 
River, of Michigan. Mr. Akers will remain in lower 
Michigan or some other good fishing country for about a 
month. . ^ , 
Mr. B. L. Taylor, one of the editorial Avriters of the 
Chicago Journal, will start early next month for a three 
weeks' trip to the trout country of the north shore of Lake 
Superior. Mr. Taylor u=ually goes alone, taking boat 
from Duluth to Grand Marais, thence by Indian and 
canoe to different streams which emoty into the lake and 
which offer splendid trout fishing. Both Mr. Taylor and 
Mr. Akers are this afternoon out at the practice meet of 
the Chicago Fly-Casting Club, getting pointers on casting 
for uti'ization in the summer camoaign. 
Mr. Frederick W. Jenkins, of Binghanvon, N. Y.. who 
last tall was mentioned as having made a successful big- 
game trio in Wyoming, was in Chicago for^a brief time 
this week, visiting his" friend, Mr. Albert S. Rennie, of 
this city. I regret very much that I was not in when they 
called, for they be pleasant folk. E. Hough.

The Observing Angler. 
In the quietude of the river banks and freedom from 
alarm, animals, birds and insects are often the source of 
interest and amusement to anglers, who are witnesses 
also of events sometimes of a tragic character. 
A few days ago a friend fishing the Frome heard a noise 
similar to a hand clap, and observing something fall to the 
ground, was astonished to find two swallows that had 
evidently come into collision so forcibly as to be fatal to 
both, for they were dead when he picked them up. He 
intends having them preserved as a memento of tliis 
singular event. 
On another occasion an angler fishing the same stream 
observed a stoat or weasel in full chase after a rabbit. 
When exactly opposite him the animal jumped on the 
rabbit, who in his flight turned a complete somersault and 
pitched the stoat into the stream, who swam across and 
vanished into the undergrowth, and the rabbit went off 
none the worse for his fright. — London Fishing Gazette. 
The Salmon's Rapid Digestion. 
In a ''contribution to the Anatomy of the Digestive 
Trait in Salmo Salar" Mr. J. Kingston Barton, of Edin- 
burgh, says: 
"There is no question the gastric juices of a fish are 
very potent. On opening one salmon this spring I 
found the stomach dilated to its full with six large-sized 
herrings, that nearest the salmon's mouth being barely 
changed in apcparance, while the sixth had only its 
spinal column undigested, tliose in between being in 
a graduated slate of digestion, and yet all these fish were 
in the one cavity. In the intestines of this fish, which 
were very ful lof'fa;cal matter, it was noticeable how very 
little there remained of any fish bones, showing how 
solvent are the gastric juices. In a good many other .fish 
the spinal columns of herrings were found, but never 
bevond the region of the duodenum. As a matter of 
interest, it may be stated that both in salmon and sea 
trout the food fish is always swallowed tail first. 
New Jersey Coast Fishing. 
AsBUKv Park, N. J., June 16. — It is safe to say that 
never in its history has A.sbury Park witnessed such bass 
fishing as has developed the past week. I inclose list of 
Aveights in pounds (omitting names of fishermen) : 15 
15 10 12.2 8 II 8 6 14 23 7^ 9 9 17-2 iS-2 12.2 8 17.2 7-2 16 
27. 5 5 7.3 8.2 9 23.2 4.2 9%. 1214 8 15. 1 7 S 8.1 17 7 9 9-2 7-1 
8 7.2 8.3 10 T5 14 14-3 13 8 15 5 23 9 4-2 II 4 5 8 6 8. This 
is phenomenal and only gives those as recorded at Seger's 
tackle store. Many are taken each day of which no 
record is made. One peculiar feature is their refusal to 
take any but skimmer clam bait. Shedder crab and blood 
worm are of no use. Of course the sport may stop at any 
hour, but great calculations are made for flext week, when 
tides arc right for night fishing.
