SAN FRANCISCO FLY CASTING CLUB. 
San Francisco Fly-Casting Club members re¬ 
sumed the season’s medal contest at Stow Lake 
on August 29 and 30, after the mid¬ 
summer six weeks’ intermission. The schedule 
of events embraced: Quarter ounce lure cast¬ 
ing, accuracy percentage (event 5); quarter ounce 
lure casting, distance (event 6) ; quarter ounce 
lure casting, long distance (event 7) ; heavy 
tackle long distance fly-casting (event 8) ; light 
tackle, distance fly-casting (event 9) ; and sal¬ 
mon tackle distance fly-casting (event 10). 
Stanley Forbes’ two casts of 155 and 130 feet 
in event No. 7 were the top scores in that event. 
H. B. Sperry’s no feet and Sam Wells’ 108 feet 
with the heavy salmon rods, led in that contest. 
T. W. Brotherton made his reappearance on the 
casting platform, after an absence in the East 
of over ten years and made the creditable score 
of 108 feet with the heavy tackle rod, the best 
score in that class for the two days. The gen¬ 
eral average of scores was good.

SHORE BIRD SEASON OPENS. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I am glad to report that the “crop” oi shore 
birds, yellow legs and plover 'this season was a 
good one. Mr. A. J. Toussaint of Jersey City 
spent last week at Currituck, making an average 
of fifty birds per day. There is a flock of S°° 
or 600 black ducks which raised here this sum¬ 
mer, about double the number of last season. 
Sprigs and blue winged teal are just beginning 
to come in. Our crop of duck food is excellent 
this season and we are expecting a good season 
for duck and ge/ese.

ORCHARD LAKE CLUB. 
September 2, 1914. 
The register started with one trout— 12V2 feet 
in length. A good many fish have been taken 
with fly ranging between that size and 13% feet. 
Mr. A. G. Boesel, of the New York Times, has 
the record for the largest trout caught to date, 
measuring 13% feet. Very few trout in that 
lake grow beyond this size, as it is rather a 
shallow lake. The trout are the genuine moun¬ 
tain brook variety.
