water abreast of the boat, where I had 
a good opportunity to measure the height 
of their leap against the side of a bank, 
and I think I am safe in saying that in 
a number of instances I saw at least 
two and possibly two and a half feet 
between the fish and the surface of the 
water. In three separate cases the fish 
turned a complete somersault in the air. 
It took me thirty minutes to land the 
largest fish, weighing seven and three- 
quarter pounds, and I estimate that it 
required about four minutes for each 
pound in weight to land each salmon. 
The fish seemed very hungry and rose 
freely to floating leaves and other small 
objects. In two instances, they took the 
shrimp as it struck the water, and so I 
infer that they may rise to a fly.” 
Salmon fishing has begun in the pond at 
Plymouth, Mass., and so far four chinook 
salmon have been taken, one of 7^4 lbs. 
These are not less than three years from 
the egg. 
The Chinook salmon has been introduced 
into other waters, including the Merrimack 
River, by Commissioner Graham, whose 
enamourment leads him to believe that it is 
the coming game fish of our Eastern lakes 
and streams, and whose show pond at 
Palmer is richly worth a visit, especially at 
feeding time when hundreds of five pound 
Chinooks literally wrestle with one another 
for the chopped delicatessen. 
Vermont is following the trail of Massa¬ 
chusetts and New Hampshire in experi¬ 
ments with this noble food fish and the sil¬ 
ver salmon (1912), and Maine is close on 
her heels. 
Silver salmon, planted in 1913 are running 
in Penobscot waters; and 25,000,000 fry and 
fingerlings of the humpback salmon, dis¬ 
tributed in 1914, 1915, 1916, and 1917, have 
appeared in various Maine rivers by the 
thousand—so reported by the Superintend¬ 
ent of the U. S. Fisheries Station. The 
total catch of this humpback on the Pacific 
coast averages 150,000,000 pounds, valued 
at $847,000. 
In closing, I may remind you that the 
chinook salmon is held in such esteem as 
a food and game fish by our English 
cousins, that it has been carried to the an¬ 
tipodes and is maintaining its reputation for 
fight and flavor in the rivers of New Zea¬ 
land.

crotches. Crosswise of the poles other 
small poles or sections of sapling, or split 
slabs if available, may be laid. The fish 
arc to be spread on the rack, at first meat 
side up, but should be turned from time 
to time and protected from moisture. At 
night they should be put under cover. It 
is, however, practically impossible to dry 
fish when the atmospheric humidity is high, 
and fish which have satisfactorily dried will 
absorb moisture, and possibly become 1 
mouldy or otherwise deteriorate, when 
subjected to humidity. 
In the drying process, whether within the 
bounds of civilization or the wilderness, 
animals have to be reckoned with. To 
protect the fish from mammals or birds 
the angler will need to rely upon his own
