lie seduced by a large night-walker worm 
if it is properly played any time after 
sundown, or at early morning. The best 
way to do it is to fish for them with 
the rig illustrated, letting the current take 
the worm where it wills, leaving it to run 
round and round by the force of the water 
till the fish strikes. For this method the 
stiff bait rod is the best tool. 
Worming in clear water of 
rivers, in June and July — 
I have purposely left till the last this, 
the finest art of worm fishing, equal to the 
best methods in dry fly fishing. After the 
abundunt glut of early summer insects, 
trout are gorged, lying close under boulders 
in shade from the glaring sun of hot sum¬ 
mer days. They do not rise to insects 
during the day. The expert can, at times, 
entice the wary fat trout with a small, 
bright clean lively worm, impaled on Num- 
mer 12 hook at the end of a long and very 
fine leader, the entire rig being that used 
in dry fly fishing. 
Cast the worm as a dry fly, and play it as 
such. This can only be done with properly 
scoured small pink worms. For this meth¬ 
od you wade down the middle of - the 
stream, when the water is very low and 
clear. You are likely to succeed during 
the daytime, but certain to get fish after 
the sun has set. Let out your line as far 
as possible, and let the worm be taken by 
the action of the rod to every part of the 
stream, first on one side, then the other 
It is essential that the line be tapered, and 
that the gut be tapered so fine and the 
Look so small as to be almost invisible. 
The worm alone' should be seen moving and 
■kicking by the fish. But the angler must 
endeavor to be always out of sight. At 
-such times and in such places, trout are 
unusually wary.

its almost daily appearance at the camp

D ISCARD the ancient custom of fry¬ 
ing trout in bacon grease. Drop 
them, well seasoned and rolled in 
white cornmeal, into the Dutch oven, par¬ 
tially filled with boiling olive oil. The 
same oil may be used for many messes. 
Lift them out when thoroughly cooked to 
a rich golden brown. This is the last 
word in the cook book of ichthyologists. 
There is no greater delicacy. 
The season for Golden Trout opens on 
'the first day of August and remains open 
for one month. The daily limit is twenty 
fish, over eight inches in length. As the 
limit is no catch at all, you will find ample 
time to visit neighboring streams and 
near-by glacial lakes, where the more com¬ 
mon varieties of trout abound. The Kern 
River country, rich in fish and game, is 
but a day’s trip away. 
Although little known, at present, this 
•abundant wilderness is destined to be¬ 
come a great plavground for those who 
love the open. Those who have within 
them still a smouldering spark of primi¬ 
tive manhood, will find this wondrous high 
country surpassing even anticipations this 
description of it may have raised.
