Fishing in the Northwest. 
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 30. — Editor Forest and 
Stream: Perhaps the following salmon notes, 
from the Tacoma News, will interest Eastern 
angiers: 
By anglers who have been fishing the Narrows 
during the past four or five days it is estimated 
that no less than 1,000 pounds of salmon have 
been taken out of the water there. Salmon are 
running so plentifully that they are being caught 
with just the bare spoon, many of the fisher¬ 
men using no bait whatever. 
W. H. Darland, the well known bass fisher¬ 
man, caught two of good size yesterday. One 
weighed twenty-six pounds and the other four¬ 
teen. Mr. Darland used an ordinary No. 5 sal¬ 
mon spoon without bait of any kind. The fish 
are biting freely, he said. 
Lee Croft and Jerry Croft caught two yes¬ 
terday, one weighing twenty-three pounds and 
the other nineteen and one-half pounds. 
E. F. Lyons caught fifteen of medium size 
Monday, weighing between three and six pounds 
each. Yesterday Mr. Lyons tried his luck again 
and this time he caught four big ones, one of 
twenty-two pounds and the others two or three 
pounds lighter. 
Anglers say the sport on the Narrows is fine 
and that salmon have not been running so thick 
in years. C. G. W. 
Surf-Casting Figures. 
The surf-casting events held by the New York 
and Newark casting clubs in recent years have 
all been cast with 2k2-ounce weights. This 
weight was originally made the standard for 
similar contests by the old National Rod and 
Reel Association, and it was in view of the 
fact that the old records were made with such 
weights that no change has been made in them. 
Some of the surf fishermen of the New Jersey 
coast have frequently objected to the 2p2-ounce 
weight, claiming that it is not so heavy as the 
weights they use in the surf, for which their 
rods are adapted, and that the standard weight 
should be made three ounces or more. While 
there is reason in their claim, it has not been 
deemed wise to change the weight, and the rec¬ 
ords do not show that appreciably better aver¬ 
ages have been made with the 3 and 4-ounce 
weights, which are employed by the Asbury Park 
Fishing Club in its annual contests. 
When the British Sea Anglers’ Society he'd 
its fourth annual casting tournament at the 
Crystal Palace grounds in London recently, 
there were events for 2B2, 4, 6 and 8- ounce 
weights. Percy Wadham won the 2p2-ounce 
event with casts of 219 feet 3 inches, 204 feet 
4 inches and 192 feet. A. P. Scott cast the 4- 
ounce weight 206. 231 and 224 feet. A. Hay¬ 
ward cast a 6-ounce weight 161 feet 7 inches, 
173 feet 2 inches and 160 feet 10 inches, while 
the best cast of A. P. Scott, who was disqualified 
because his line broke in one cast, was 209 feet 
8 inches. Mr. Scott cast an 8-ounce weight 198 
feet 11 inches. 
Contrasted to these figures are those made by 
Mr. Scott in exhibition with the 2p2-ounce 
weight. They follow: 311 feet, 291 feet, 319 
feet 6 inches and 336 feet, respectively. These 
were made with the customary lever-brake reel 
referred to in a former issue.
