WITH THE BASS OF LEECH LAKE. 
(Continued from page 807.) 
ous; but the rock bass seem to be rather scarce, 
and there are not many places where the fishing 
for them is specially good. 
On Thursday there were not enough fishermen 
on the lake to warrant getting up a party to go 
any great distance from Walker, consequently a 
sportsman named Dr. Hart and I went with Si 
in his skiff due east across the lake to a short 
canal leading to the Indian settlement named on 
the map “Onigum,” and then north to a very 
small thoroughfare leading to the lower end of 
the bay that lies between Pine Point and Stoney 
Point. On the way we caught a few “snakes” 
(small pickerel or great northern pike), and 
after we left the thoroughfare we made a good 
catch of pike as we rowed toward Pine Point, 
where we fished a while and then retraced our 
route, stopping to fish two or three times over 
any ground where we had good strikes. If I 
remember rightly, our catch that day was 43, 
and there were a few good ones in the bunch. 
The weather was warm and fine, but there was 
not enough wind for truly good sport. 
On Friday we joined a small party and got a 
tow from Alec’s motor boat, as he had business 
at the east end of the lake. He stopped on his 
way back and took us into town. We made a 
large catch of good fish, a number of them 
j weighing as high as eight or ten pounds each. 
On Saturday Si and I negotiated for a tow 
by Swansson to the Narrows, marked on the 
map “Squaw Point,” and thence we fished along 
the shore for some four miles with fair results, 
then crossed to Goose Island, which is a favor¬ 
ably known fishing ground. We picked up a 
few fish there, but it was nearly dead calm, hence 
we soon gave it up and returned to the main¬ 
land and fished over the same ground as in the 
forenoon. Towards evening a thunderstorm with 
heavy wind and rain overtook us, and forced us 
to flee for safety to the Indian landing at Squaw 
Point, where we ran the skiff ashore and turned 
it up for a shelter. In that way and by wearing 
our slickers we escaped a bad wetting. Swans¬ 
son had agreed for a consideration to call for 
us near Squaw Point about 6:15 P. M. so as to 
tow us to Walker, but the wind discouraged him. 
Fortunately for us, Alec came along and took 
us in, thus saving Si a heavy pull. I have for¬ 
gotten the number of fish we took that day, but 
think it was not far short of forty. 
On Sunday nobody but myself cared to go fish¬ 
ing ; and as I wanted to experiment on the parch 
with my six-ounce Leonard fly rod (in my opin¬ 
ion the best all-around fly-fishing rod ever made) , 
Si took me over to his house, which is located 
on the south shore of the arm of the lake that 
lies due east of the town and some three miles 
distant. Using his net, we secured a good sup¬ 
ply of minnows, and with them I caught a dozen 
perch and a few small pickerel; but there was 
no wind at all, and the sunshine made it uncom¬ 
fortably hot. Si and I both wished to hook a 
big fish on the Leonard rod—he in the expecta¬ 
tion of seeing me break it, and I so as to show 
him that I could land a large one without doing 
so. In times past it has caught some good fish, 
among others a five and one-half pound rain¬ 
bow trout, a five pound lake trout, and a four 
and three-quarter pound Dolly Varden. The 
best I could do was to land a three pounder,

About noon we went to the house, where I 
taught Si how to cook “picked-up fish,” using 
most of the perch for the purpose. We had an 
excellent lunch, after which we trolled along the 
east shore as far as the railroad trestle, then 
north to town. The catch that day was 26, half 
perch and half snakes. 
On Monday, Russell, Mr. Avery of Kansas City, 
and I took Swansson’s power boat and Si’s skiff 
and went to the south end of Minnesota Island, 
due north of Walker. We fished with poor success 
along the east shore of Steamboat Bay, then 
went back by power past Squaw Point and 
through the Narrows and fished the ground that 
I had tried a few days before, catching only a 
few. Next we went by power to Goose Island 
for luncheon; and while it was being prepared 
by the boatmen Avery rowed me around the is¬ 
land to try the fishing, which was only fair. 
After luncheon, though, there sprang up a 'ight 
breeze, and we managed to make a good catch, 
leaving rather early for Pine Point, from which 
we trolled along the shore to the Narrows and 
then went home under power. The total catch 
that day for the three rods was between 80 and 
90, and we secured a number of large-size, great 
northern pike. 
On Tuesday the same three sportsmen went 
directly to Otter Tail Point in the same manner, 
and fished there till five o’clock, making a big 
catch in spite of the fact that there was not 
enough breeze. We found the best fishing to be 
at the point itself and along the west shore for 
a mile or two. At times, though, the sport is 
good on the east side of Otter Tail Island. By 
the way, the map shows Otter Tail to be a pen¬ 
insula, which is not the case, as there is a little 
lake with short thoroughfares some two miles 
to the north of the point. I tried the fishing in 
this lake on one occasion by casting in the weed 
beds, but had no luck worth mentioning. How¬ 
ever, it was not a fair test, as there was not a 
breath of air stirring, and the water was 'ike 
glass. My son, Everett, some two or three years 
ago had fair sport in this small lake, which is 
really a portion of the large one.
