the idea of changing the fly when the ' 
Scot, who never swears, cursed slightly. 
As I turned, I saw the widening ripples. 
“That was the largest salmon I have 
seen this summer, or last summer,” said 
he. I cast carefully with the short re- 
trieved line. And then I thought of 
one other thing. “I think if we go back 
and anchor near where we were and drop i 
this fly over him at the right angle from 
above with the line straight we may 
hook him.” 
I 
AS we moved and the anchor dropped 
I laid out before me two Mallock 
boxes full to brimming over. Now the ; 
winter previous when the cares of busi- 
ness had been oppressive, I had dropped 
into Vons and there ordered some double 
Wilkinsons. All they had in stock were 
some old No. 2 singles and these, for i 
some reason unknown, I had carried 
about in my hip pocket for a year. The i 
Wilkinson is a famous fly on the Whis- ! 
pering and in due course I laid it out. [' 
I also took the precaution to cut the tip i 
of the new leader and tie a fresh knot, f 
And then carefully with about thirty feet i 
of line I let the first cast" swing out 
straight and from the left. 
As the line straightened and the bow 
of my canoe was well-nigh parallel with 
the rod the line went under. There was 
•no gentle tug, but the line was carried 
straight to the very bottom of that forty- 
foot pool by fifty yards in length. It 
tarried not or vibrated for a second. The 
moon, meanwhile, had risen and as I 
looked below me to the end of the pool, i 
I will always remember the cleanness 
of some hardwoods already lighted by 
that moon. I knew a second later when 
I looked at my watch it was just eight 
o’clock. But just then a fresh-run r 
female came clear of the water at the 
very end of the pool and to the left with 
well-nigh a hundred yards of line in a 
single run at the end of which it is j 
seldom a large fish breaks. 1 only re- 
member saying, “We have the large fish.” 
Afterwards the Scot said, “I’d given ; 
a month’s pay if we’d gone ashore on 
the west side.” He is a careful Scot 
and carefully he backed ashore to the 
left and east bank where a tiny beach 
with a shelving bottom ran out. By this 
time I had retrieved all of my cuttyhunk 
and it seemed the line would break the 
rod. Just as I stepped ashore the fish 
ran out and broke for the second time, ; 
which was exceptional for such a large j 
fish, and again I retrieved the line, which j 
also was exceptional. In fact, within J 
two minutes that fish was within two 
canoe lengths of the shore and in plain 
sight. It must be remembered that this 
was the last of our trip and we had been 
skinning fish and weighing fish and hook- 
ing and losing fish so we were fairly able 
to judge the size of this one. 
The beach was, perhaps, two canoe 
lengths over all. I worked to the upper- 
most part and the Scot hovered below 
where the deadfalls nested and we feared 
our fish would make for them. Once I 
stepped over the canoe and kicked it 
adrift, and then with that mighty salmon 
on I held the rod in one hand and pulled 
in the canoe with the other, at which Ei
