DISCOVERING A TROUT STREAM 
To the Editor of Forest and Stream : 
DJERHAPS the greatest drawback to 
i!the trout fisher, with ordinary 
means and limited time at his disposal, 
is the long journey he feels he must take 
in order to reach a free-for-all trout 
stream. 
I was laboring under this disadvant- 
age for several years. Many times 
when weary of working for my bed and 
board, I have dreamed and longed for a 
nearby stream, where, with rod in hand, 
I could spend an hour of peaceful bliss. 
These Utopian dreams like the base- 
less fabric of a vision left not a wrack 
behind. I might have continued in this 
unblissful ignorance but for an unex- 
pected discovery that revealed to my 
astonished gaze, a stream dark in places 
with over-mantling branches of trees, 
that in the September breeze murmured 
in harmony with the rippling of the 
brook. On the bank beneath my feet the 
wild flowers were bidding the summer 
of 1920 an eloquent farewell and a joy- 
ous welcome greeted my ears from some 
feathered songsters. This was no 
dream, neither was I developing symp- 
toms of “brain storm.” An actual con- 
dition confronted me. Surely, I thought 
Dame Nature never intended this ideal 
spot to be troutless. 
But let me tell you how and where I 
made my find. My domicile is in that 
interesting town christened with the 
feminine but queenly name of Elizabeth 
(N. J.). I have never quite had the 
courage to inquire about Elizabeth's 
age. Being a stickler for the observ- 
ance of the amenities of polite society I 
have refrained from committing such a 
breach of etiquette by asking such a 
personal question. Besides, Elizabeth 
has no special interest in this story, ex- 
cept as a point of departure which led 
to my discovery. Having at my beck 
and call several trolley lines, one after- 
noon I boarded a car marked “Aldine,” 
and in so doing I was, to express myself 
in the vernacular of the times, “taking a 
chance” because I had no intention of 
going to any place in particular. 
After a ride of about twenty minutes 
I heard the car conductor call out 
“Scotch Plains.” For some reason the 
name of this place sounded good to me 
and I left the car. A range of hills 
close by silently invited me to investi- 
gate them. Near the foot of the hills 
I crossed a bridge that spanned a 
stream of fast-running clear water over 
a rocky bottom. 
The truth that Byron expressed, 
“there is a pleasure in the pathless 
woods,” may with equal truth be applied 
to the angler in that he finds a joy in 
the mountain stream. So I turned from 
the hills to explore the brook. The far- 
ther I did so the more delighted I be-
