FOREST AND STREAM

THE PARADISE OF 
ALL FISHERMEN 
(continued from page 411 ) 
of us to pull quickly And, yes, for once a 
famous trout stream actually held trout! 
In came a beautiful, gray speckled beauty 
with the seal of Pecos trout in its pound 
and a quarter weight. 
After landing several, we crept to new 
pastures. Here I ran amuck the worst old 
scout in the brook. The greedy thing swal¬ 
lowed my fly with one gulp and then tried 
to make off with my pole. It took me un¬ 
awares and nearly succeeded in catching me. 
We cut a notched stick and impaled 
thereon our speckled beauties. As we stole 
farther down the stream we ran across ad¬ 
venture (for us), and mishap (for the 
others). On the far bank the white of a 
canvas tent gleamed suddenly. Beyond it 
was a silent touring car. 
“What an ideal spot for a camp” we 
thought. But this thought was interrupted 
by the appearance of a woman who waved 
a white flag from the doorway of her tent. 
We wondered whether it was a signal for 
help or a warning to stay away. “Safety 
first” seemed the wiser course, since she 
did not seem to be in any acute distress. 
When we returned to the ranch we learned 
that this isolated camp held a virulent case 
of typhoid fever. And this was the accus¬ 
tomed New Mexican mode for quarantining 
the unfortunate traveler. 
Further up the stream I encountered 
Heap Big Chief, Number Two. This old 
settler dwelt under an overhanging bank. I 
liked the appearance of the deep water near 
it, and so cast in, this time warily propped. 
A big U of a mouth shot at my fly. Through 
the transparent water the frequency of its 
speckles shone up. Heap Big Chief started 
up stream, but this time no snag intervened. 
I gave a quick jerk and stalled its hasty 
retreat. Then I pulled again, and with a 
quick swish of the lithe pole landed it on 
terra firma. I can not swear to its 
exact dimensions. I only know that it was 
the largest and handsomest of the bunch. 
Now hunger assailed us, and we went 
back to the roadster and dug out from its 
capacious hold the necessary implements for 
preparing a feast. Heap Big Chief was 
dressed first, and rolled in meal with half 
a dozen other relatives who quickly fol¬ 
lowed. Our camping grate was impaled in 
the lea of a bank and soon the blazing wood 
was replaced by glowing coals. The grate 
held troughs in which the dabs of butter 
coasted down merrily while the trout roast¬ 
ed quickly and a delicious aroma penetrated 
the air. Shortly the delectable morsels were 
transferred to enamel plates and with bread 
and butter supplementing a tin cup of cof¬ 
fee hot from the bottle, made quite the 
most memorable feast of a memorable 
ourney. 
So when you “See America First” and 
your route into old New Mexico comes 
within a hundred miles of old Santa Fe, 
fither beg, borrow or—hire any means of 
ransportation whatsoever (auto preferred) 
ind strike off the beaten paths into that 
■pot along the Upper Pecos, where the 
■Vest is nowhere wilder and where a meal 
ies abashing and awaiting for the mere 
asting of bait. Truly, this is the Paradise 
f all trout fishermen.

A Country of Fish and Game 
A Paradise for the Camper and Angler 
Ideal Canoe Trips 
The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Company’s system is exceedingly rich in all 
kinds of Fish and Game. All along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their Salmon
