Practising Fly-Casting. 
The Springfield, Ill., city council received a 
petition from the Springfield Bait-Casting Club, 
asking permission to practice fly- and bait-casting 
in the lake of Reservoir Park, one of the public 
resorts of the city. Ihe lake is well stocked with 
fish, but no one has been permitted to seek the 
finny tribe. After considerable discussion, it was 
finally decided to grant permission to the club 
in accordance with the petition, but in order to 
avoid any accusation of partiality, the freedom 
of the lake will be given to all persons on each 
Saturday. The casting club wished the exclusive 
privilege in order that they would not be dis¬ 
turbed by others. It is likely that the club will 
seek some other lake in which to practice the 
casting art. 
Illinois Casting Club. 
Chicago, Ill., May 21.—Editor Forest and 
Stream: The opening contests of the season 
were held on the i8th inst, as scheduled, under 
rather adverse weather conditions. 
A number of the members present did not 
cast their scores, as they declared their inten¬ 
tions to join the class which will cast on the 
day following regular contest days. Owing to 
the 19th being the date set for the invitation 
tournament, the members of this class will take 
re-entries for these events at a later date. 
Weather: During the accuracy bait, wind 
S. W. and puffy, during distance bait, wind S. 
W., velocity approximately eight miles per 
hour; during accuracy fly, sky cloudy, calm.

Attention is called to the excellent scores 
made in the accuracy fly; W. H. Ball’s fine 
score of 99 12-15 establishes a new club record. 
The distance fly event was postponed. 
It is gratifying to note Brother Humphrey’s 
high score of 99 per cent. 
It is with pleasure that we announce the 
official notification that the N. A. S. A. C. tour¬ 
nament for igi2 will be held at our lagoon in 
Washington Park on Aug. 15, 16 and 17. This 
will probably be one of the largest meets in 
the history of the national organization, and in 
planning vacations, it will be well to bear these 
dates in mind. 
A number of ladies graced the occasion by 
their presence during the major portion of the 
day. A. F. Swisher, Secretary.

Illinois Rod and Gun Club. 
What is asserted to be the finest club house 
for sportsmen in Illinois, is that of the Illinois 
Rod and Gun Club near Astoria. This club was 
organized a year ago and has been incorporated 
under the laws of Illinois. The’ officers com¬ 
prise the following: President, H. A. Jansen, 
Moline; Vice-President, D. R. Lane, Daven¬ 
port; Secretary-Treasurer, W. A. Schaeffer, 
Rock Island. The new club house is a model, 
and its large size and comfortable furnishing 
has attracted much admiring attention from 
sportsmen of the Middle West. The member¬ 
ship of the club is closely censored, and only 
those are invited to join who are acceptable to 
the entire membership. As the attitude of 
farmers in Illinois is such that shooting con¬ 
ditions are rapidly approaching those of Europe, 
where it is necessary to own or lease preserves 
in order to secure game or fish, the sportsmen 
are providing for private hunting and fishing 
resorts. The Illinois club has unexcelled pre¬ 
serves and offer the finest possible opportuni¬ 
ties for enjoying rod and gun sport. 
Dixon (Ill.) Fishing Club. 
The Dixon Fishing Club, of Dixon, Ill., was 
organized with fifty-seven charter members at 
, a meeting held recently. Officers were elected 
as follows: President, H. O. Wheeler; Secre¬ 
tary, J. W. Staples; Treasurer, A. B. Whitcombe. 
Any person willing to aid in the enforcement of 
the State laws protecting fish is eligible to mem¬ 
bership. The club will look after the stocking 
of the Rock River with game fish and otherwise 
look after the fishing interests of that stream. 
It is likely that the membership will rapidly in¬ 
crease as the object of the organization becomes 
known. 
San Francisco Fly-Casting Club.

Salmon Fishing Good at Lake Sunapee. 
There is better salmon fishing at Lake Sunapee 
this year than ever before, and the fishermen are 
having excellent sport. Most of the fish so far 
have been taken trolling with live smelt, and 
range from two to nine and one-half pounds. 
Over 300 fish have been taken, and the troll¬ 
ing should hold good until the first of June. 
After, that the fish can still be taken still-fishing. 
Ten thousand large rainbow trout were planted 
last fall and it is expected that some excellent 
fly-fishing for them will soon" result. 
A few of the hotels have opened and others 
will open about June i.
