Davidson River can be most economically 
reached by taking the train to Pisgah Forest 
station, forty miles from Asheville on the 
Toxaway branch of the Southern Railway; 
or Brevard, two miles further on, where 
cars or carriages can be obtained. The fish¬ 
ing begins two miles from Pisgah Forest 
station, and the river road extends a dozen 
miles further, but is not available for ve¬ 
hicles beyond four miles from Pisgah sta¬ 
tion because the bridges are down. The 
river is fordable, however, and the road en¬ 
tirely practicable for saddle horses. Look¬ 
ing Glass creek, eight miles from Pisgah 
station, can be reached only by horseback, 
unless one secures a permit to ride on the 
log trains of the Carr Lumber Company’s 
railway, which extends from Pisgah station 
up Looking Glass to the Pink Beds. 
To obtain a permit the applicant should 
first buy a postoffice money order for the 
sum which will represent the number of 
fishing days desired (the limit is four days), 
payable to the Commercial National Bank, 
Washington, D. C. The order should be 
delivered to the Forest Supervisor at Ashe¬ 
ville or one of the four forest ranger sta¬ 
tions, who will furnish transmittal form and 
issue permit. If application be by mail a 
letter should be sent the Forest Supervisor 
stating the number of days desired. The 
supervisor will send a transmittal form to 
be sent with the money-order to the bank 
and the applicant must notify the supervisor 
that he has sent the form and money-order. 
While the regulations do not so specify, it 
is suggested that the applicant state whether 
he wishes to fish before or after July I. 
Camping privileges in the forest are open 
to the public, including fishermen who want 
to camp by the stream, no charge being 
made for a two weeks’ permit covering six 
persons and three tents or less. After two 
weeks a charge of one dollar a week is 
made. Permanent camp sites cost from 
five dollars to fifteen dollars a year, de¬ 
pending on the cost of the house to be 
built and similar circumstances. 
THE SPORTSWOMAN’S CLOTHING 
ON HER OUTINGS SHE SHOULD BE AS APPRO¬ 
PRIATELY GARBED AS IN HER DRAWING ROOM 
HERE is a 
distinct dif¬ 
ference be¬ 
tween “sport 
clothes” and 
sporting clothes 
— clothes cor¬ 
rectly fashioned 
for the field or 
the stream, the 
camp or the 
trail, with every 
spirit of the 
sport for which 
they are intended built into them. The 
latter are within the special province of 
American sportswomen. 
Whether they are for aviation, motor¬ 
ing, golf or tennis, summer camping or a 
genuine roughing-it trip through moun¬ 
tains or woods, a standard for them has 
been established by sportswomen who do 
things. And it is not right that sport 
clothes—so called—should be exploited 
and caricatured by those who only use 
them on the boardwalk or cabaret floor. 
Sportswomen’s clothes are sporting clothes 
pure and simple, with that dash of open- 
air smartness which bespeaks thorough fa¬ 
miliarity with the sport itself, and are far 
different from sport garments designed for 
appearance only. 
The American sportswoman’s place as 
the boon companion of her brother the 
sportsman—whether at the traps, in the 
stubble field, on the trail of big game, or 
standing knee-deep in a rushing mountain 
stream fly-casting—is so well recognized 
that Forest and Stream has determined to 
present to her, authoritative information 
on what to wear afield. This department 
will be glad to furnish information and 
make suggestions in reply to inquiries con¬ 
cerning correct sportswomen’s clothing for 
all sports. For those contemplating trips 
in the woods—fishing, hunting, or camping 
—complete information will be gladly fur¬ 
nished, both as to suitable material and 
practical design so that her clothing, which 
does so much toward assuring comfort and 
complete enjoyment on any outing, may be 
readily selected. 
Outdoor America will come into its own 
this summer. For the doors of the rest of 
the world are closed, and sportswomen 
are fast realizing how much life in the 
open means to them, how much enjoyment 
is ready at hand, out where the glow and 
tan of the summer winds bring health and 
genuine pleasure. 
And now through the haze of the earth’s 
warm spring breath, rising where the snow 
blanket has slipped away, comes the whis¬ 
pered invitation—the smell of the apple 
blossom, the blue birds’ and the robins’ 
cheery whistle—signs of Spring, and of 
fishing days! 
What woman would resist if she could? 
Who would miss the opportunity to meet 
Nature in her finest mood of all the year— 
when the heart of the Forest calls to Na¬ 
ture’s heart ? 
Milady must seek these delights becom¬ 
ingly and appropriately clad, so here are 
illustrated garments in which she can sally 
forth to the lakes and streams and feel 
convinced that her costume is perfectly 
adapted to the sport of the month. If you 
would feel a harmonious, comfortable part 
of the Great Outdoors, you must enter it 
in real sports clohting of this kind. 
Garments you will need for the trout 
stream, for instance, include besides the 
indispensable boots and an appropriate hat, 
knickerbockers and the “fishing skirt.” The 
latter is designed so that, when you are 
wading, the skirt tucks readily into your 
boot-tops. 
You recall motoring over your favorite 
highway—in the last week or so perhaps— 
and how you felt a little thrill as the car 
sped along for awhile beside a brook, a 
brook just released from its winter fetters, 
noisily rushing along to the sea? 
There must be trout in those pools on 
the other bank, where the trees overhang. 
Why not try them? 
Properly equipped, you can stand side by 
side with your brother fishermen and en¬ 
joy to the fill the sport you may have been 
thinking was entirely theirs. 
Such a motoring-fishing trip will relieve 
the sameness of ordinary outings. Try it!
