Fishing Around San Francisco. 
San Francisco, Cal., June 4 .—EdJor Forest 
and Stream: The fishing season is now at its 
height and devotees of the sport are undecided 
which branch offers the most attractions, salt or 
fresh water fishing. 
Salmon are not yet running in any numbers 
in the bay, but in the bay of Monterey they are 
very plentiful and trolley have landed some very 
fine specimens during the past two weeks. On 
one day fully 1,000 fine salmon were taken, some 
of them being of unusually large size. 
Striped bass fishing is rapidly getting better, 
although to get the best returns it has been 
found that one must get away from the bay. In 
Prospect and Cache sloughs, near Rio Vista on 
the Sacramento River, great sport is being ex¬ 
perienced and there a number of San Francisco 
anglers are spending their spare time. At the 
mouth of the American River hundreds of fish 
have been taken, and it is to be noted that the 
large fish are to be found in the river district 
at the present time. However, no very large 
fish have been landed anywhere this season, the 
largest being in the neighborhood of thirty 
pounds, but before the end of the season it is 
anticipated that a fifty or a sixty-pounder will 
be landed b3^ someone. One of the largest bass 
taken in the vicinity of Rio Vista this season 
was landed by a woman, Mrs. J. Isham, this 
weighing about twenty pounds. 
It is not unlikely that the term ham slinger 
will now be app'ied to the striped bass fisherman 
instead of clam slinger, as he is now known. 
Someone has discovered that the bass have a 
liking for boiled ham, and this is now an im¬ 
portant item in the bait box with many anglers. 
On June 1 the close season on black bass 
expired, and on the streams where this fish 
could be taken there has been considerable ac¬ 
tivity during the past few days. This fish is 
very plentiful in the Sacramento, San Joaquin 
and tributary streams and promises to become 
one of our prominent game fishes. 
Salt water fishermen, who occasionally fish 
outside the heads, have remarked that but very 
few kingfish and sea bass have been taken dur¬ 
ing the past year. This is declared to be caused 
by the fact that the city of Oakland is having 
lier garbage hauled out to sea and dumped, and 
that the tugboat owners disregard the limit from 
shore distance when getting rid of their cargoes. 
Anchovies are also very scarce, but all are found 
in large numbers in Monterey BajL A. P. B.

At the last meeting of tlie Phoenixville Fish 
and Game Protective Association, of Phoenix¬ 
ville, Pa., the following officers were elected to 
■serve during the year: President, Win. M. 
Miller; Secretary, J. Warren Baer; Treasurer, 
Irvin M. Buckwalter; Executive Committee, Dr. 
H. H. Dancy, Joseph A. Pennypacker, Dr. Earle 
Nelson and E. L. Buckwalter. Stream pollution 
is receiving the attention of members, who are 
also interested in forest, fish and game protec¬ 
tion. 
The Tredegar Fishing Club of Jacksonville, 
Ala., has just taken possession of its new club 
house on Nesbits Lake, near Jacksonville, and 
the membership is increasing with the additional 
advantages now to be enjoyed. The roll com¬ 
prises over fifty names, with J. C. Sproull as 
president and J. W. Comer, secretary-treasurer. 
The Anglers’ Club of Massachusetts has elect¬ 
ed the following officers: President, George B. 
Clark; Vice-President, Charles W. Cheeney;

J. McCarthy; Club Captain, H. B. Lawrence; 
Committee on Admission, Dr. George H. Payne, 
Harry G. Whittridge; Committee on Standard

has erected a permanent fly- and bait-casting

the junction of Westland avenue and Hemenway

Attention is called to the scores of Ball and 
Hartley of 99.5 per cent, each in the regular 
event which equal the previous record score 
made by J. E. Amman in our club contest of 
last year. In the salmon fly Mr. Ball exceeded 
our record of last year and Mr. DeGarmo’s cast 
of 126 feet establishes a new club record. Atten¬ 
tion is also callecj (with apologies for the over¬ 
sight) to N. C. Heston’s magnificent score of 
99 S/i 5 per cent, (made on May 21) in the light 
tackle accuracy dry fly event, held by our club 
for the first time, which establishes a club record 
and which we believe is the national record in 
this event to date. 
The next regular contest is to be held on June 
18, the events being quarter-ounce accuracy, quar¬ 
ter-ounce distance, delicacy fly and light tackle 
accuracy dry fly, the fly events to be cast as usual 
on the day following. Members are urged to 
cast their accuracy bait event, together with re¬ 
entries, on the above date, as this event will 
conclude the quarter-ounce bait events for the 
first half of the season, which will assist in the 
selection of the team to play our first inter club 
contest of the season with the Chicago Fly-Cast¬ 
ing Club. A. D. Whitby, Sec’y.
