The very evident lack of practice and the ad¬ 
verse weather conditions resulted in most of 
the scores being poor. The light was very de¬ 
ceiving and the contestants seemed to have great 
trouble in locating the weights in the air. Only 
three contestants took part in the accuracy fly 
event, Messrs. Campbell and Jamison, of The 
Anglers’ Club and L. E. DeGarmo, of The 
Illinois Casting Club. 
The following are the scores:

Fishing at Sunapee Lake. 
Springfield, Mass., May 16 .—Editor Forest and 
Stream: The fishing in Lake Sunapee, New 
Hampshire, this season is better than it has 
been for a number of years. The chinook sal¬ 
mon that have recently been planted in the lake 
by the State and United States commissions are 
showing up well and several fine fish have been 
taken during the past three weeks. In one day 
last week ten of these fish were taken trolling 
near Blodgett’s Landing that weighed from five 
to nine pounds each. 
The golden or Sunapee trout are also show¬ 
ing up well this ‘year and a large number of 
these fish have recently been taken. Among 
those who have taken good sized fish are: Mr. 
Darling, of Derry, N. H.; William Mathews, of 
New York; E. C. Lear, of Newbury, N. H.; 
William E. Gilbert, Harry Willard and Cooley 
Graham, of Springfield, Mass., and W. H. Proc¬ 
tor, of Springfield, Vt. George H. Graham. 
Cincinnati Casting Club. 
On May 14 six of the members met for an 
afternoon’s sport over the Groesbeck lawn tar¬ 
get. The weather was cold and the strong wind 
blowing in the faces of the casters prevented 
any extra good work, especially with the light 
weight. The regular club contests will begin on 
May 21. The scores:

Trout in the Adirondacks. 
Number Four, N. Y., May 5.— Editor Forest 
and Stream: Fishing is fairly good. The sea¬ 
son opened on the first. Glenn M. Parker, Dr. 
Kirby, Mr. Webber and Mr. Rogers, all of Low- 
ville, eighteen miles away, drove in one evening, 
fished a day and a half, having Oren Fenton 
and Henry Edwards with them to row, and 
caught 146 fish, the largest weighing i l / 2 pounds. 
This, with three other large ones, were taken on 
fly. What are called eel flies are coming to the 
surface of the water now and a few trout are 
jumping. Mr. Waters and son fished two days, 
caught thirty-nine, the largest weighing a pound. 
The ice was out before the 1st of April, three 
or four weeks ahead of the regular time. There 
has not been much rain and fishing is unusually 
early. C. L. P. 
Carp Not Wanted. 
The work of removing the carp from Canan¬ 
daigua Lake will soon be actively under way; 
two motor boats and twelve men will handle the 
nets. Two fyke nets, each capable of holding 
five tons of carp, will be set immediately, and 
one pound net a mile and a quarter in length 
and another three-quarters of a mile long, be¬ 
sides a sixty-rod seine and thirty large fyke 
nets, will be in operation by May 1. When the 
carp are captured they will be transferred to a 
small body of water properly screened and will 
then be sent to the New York market as re¬ 
quired. The Rochester Post says this is exactly 
what ought to be done in Irondequoit Bay. It 
would be very gratifying to local anglers if 
Commissioner Whipple would allow this work 
to be done at once. 
All the fish laws of the United States and 
Canada, revised to date and now in force, are 
given in the Game Laws in Brief. See adv.
