the streams are quite clear. In the large streams 
the use of bait is sometimes necessary to secure 
limit catches, but fly-fishing is steadily improv¬ 
ing. From the early catches that have been made 
in the sierras it would seem that large fish are 
to be found in greater numbers than ever, this 
being particularly true in the Truckee River. In 
former years the large fish were taken on the 
Nevada side before fishing was permitted in Cali¬ 
fornia, but the law's of the two States have been 
arranged so that the season opens at the same 
date on both sides of the boundary line. Re¬ 
ports from the Big Meadows country indicate 
that fishing in that section will be very fine this 
season, and there will be quite an influx of 
anglers from San Francisco and vicinity into 
that region now that improved transportation has 
been afforded into Plumas county. 
Quite a party of local anglers made a trip 
to the McCloud River recently, but met with 
rather indifferent success, owing to the high 
w'ater and cold weather. Insect life has scarcely 
commenced to appear there, and but little cou'd 
be done with a fly. 
Madame Sarah Bernhardt recently made the 
first catch of a fish in her life in the Truckee 
River near Reno. For some time she has pos¬ 
sessed a fine fishing outfit and has attempted to 
fish before, but this is the first time she has ever 
been successful. The trout taken was about 
seven inches in length and Mme. Bernhardt 
expressed her intention of preserving it as a

PLAYING A PACIFIC SALMON. 
boatman with his gaff all suggest tuna fishing, 
but the San Francisco Examiner, from which the 
picture is reproduced, says it was made while 
Mr, Holden was playing a large salmon. These 
fish come into Monterey Bay in numbers in the 
spring. They are trolled for with handlines and 
rods, and are taken at a considerable depth.

Chicago, Ill., May 21.— Editor Forest and 
Stream: Considering the weather conditions 
these scores are remarkably good. Wind varia¬ 
ble and gusty, sky overclouded, and threatening 
rain combined with a background of trees made 
it very difficult to locate weights when casting.
