CLEARWATER CAMPS should be investigated.

the little village of Allen's Mills, five miles from Farm¬

the shire town of Franklin County, Maine.

PACIFIC SALMON IN 
ATLANTIC WATERS 
(continued from page 407) 
that all varieties of the “Oncorhynchus” 
die at less than six years from the time 
they are hatched. I had great hopes at 
one time of being able to upset many of 
the statements made in regard to the 
dying of this species, and especially so 
with the landlocked variety; but while 
my own experimenting with this fish in 
fresh-water has shown me that not all 
males die immediately after reproducing, 
I think that it has been clearly demon¬ 
strated that all females do, and the 
males within a brief period.” 
With this view I most emphatically agree. 
The successful stocking of Eastern 
waters with this desirable food and game 
fish will not depend then on its acclimatiza¬ 
tion and reproduction in a new habitat. The 
instincts of a million years can not change 
through a decade or two of novel and al¬ 
luring environments. In all experiments 
that have been made here and abroad, the 
chinook salmon have never been cajoled to 
forget the laws of their nature. The days 
of the years of their short lives are num¬ 
bered during the season of their first sex¬ 
ual excitement. If we fall in love with 
them as a game fish, the stock will have to 
be replenished annually—and this is in 
every way practicable—not by planting help¬ 
less fry as has been the brainless practice 
for so many years—but fingerlings 4 or 5 
inches in length, able to evade a miscellany 
of enemies. 
T HE chinook salmon puts up a good 
fight if not handicapped with too 
much avoirdupois. A friend recently 
recounted to me his struggle off the mouth 
of the Columbia River with a 60 pound fish 
that repeatedly leaped from the sea, fought 
wickedly, and tried his nerve to the utmost, 
while a 90 pound salmon was reeled in by 
sheer force against dead weight. Do not 
imagine, however, that the king salmon is 
ever going to attain such proportions in the 
East. The life of the fish is too short to 
turn into pounds beyond twenty the com¬ 
paratively scanty food supply. Most of the 
specimens captured at Sunapee during the 
past six years varied from 3 to 5 pounds inij 
weight. The fish is not a fly-taker, but re¬ 
sponds to the troll during the spring, in our" 
waters as in the Western inlets,—there a, 
single hook is used baited with a common 
sardine, here with a fresh water smelt 
Throughout the summer, they are fished for 
with live bait in the deep waters of out 
lakes. At the height of their run at Suna-, 
pee, 4,000 to 5,000 salmon were taken during 
several seasons aggregating from seven tc 
ten tons per season. 
The sport, of course, does not compart 
with fly fishing for the silver Salar of the 
Maine and Canadian streams that Isaai 
Walton tells us “grows so big in the sea” 
or the “unsalted salmon of the foaming 
floods,” the princely ouananiche, character 
ized by Dr. Van Dyke as “the cleanes 
feeder, the merriest liver, the loftiest leaper 1 1 
and the bravest warrior of all creature 
that swim.” 
Whereas the Pacific salmon do not tak 
a fly in their native waters, sanguine an 
glers entertain the hope that they wil 
change their nature in this respect in thei
