MASHEER FISHING IN THE DOON. 
In March last year I visited Dehra Doon, via 
Saharanpur, for a week’s pleasuring. Having 
secured a suitable room, I made preparation to 
go fishing the following morning. I had a 17- 
foot rod made by myself, the butt and second 
lengths being of selected hollow bamboo, and 
the third and fourth length of seasoned lance 
wood. The joints were brass ferrules, six 
inches long, and although pliable enough for 
fly-fishing, the rod was more suitable for 
trolling. On the afternoon of my arrival I had 
arranged for a coolie to accompany me. He 
was on hand by 5 a. m., and we started for a 
favorable stretch of water some miles distant, 
a favorite haunt of masheer, I had been told. 
Arrived at the river I chose the left bank as 
being free from trees, bushes and similar im¬ 
pediments. The water on that side was run¬ 
ning clear and not very rapidly, while on the 
opposite side it was broken by sunken rocks 
and boulders into swirls and eddies starting off 
to the left side. There was a good breeze from 
the south, causing a fine ripple on the water, 
and I put on a cast with a couple of flies, black 
hackle as tail, and red hackle as dropper. I 
had a large reel, fifty yards of good silk line, 
a three feet trace of twisted and a six feet cast 
of single gut. 
Commencing work I fished upward, but it 
was some time before the fish began to feed. 
My first capture was a two pounder, and from 
the way it leaped and dodged, I was satisfied 
the fish were lively, and would give good sport. 
My tackle was strong, and I soon had the fish 
on the bank and into my creel, which the 
coolie was carrying. Not long afterward I 
hooked another about the same size, and 
landed it, but the third was bigger, between 5 
and 6 pounds, and gave me half an hour’s really 
good sport. It, when hooked, breached clear 
out of the water and after running out about 
thirty yards of line, it again leaped and con¬ 
tinued this game half a dozen times, until I got 
reeled up and had it on a short line. It then 
made an attempt to run right across among 
the boulders, but keeping a tight strain on the 
line, I prevented its getting there. It then 
turned head down stream, and I kept it going 
in that direction until it sickened and came to 
the top and the edge. I don’t use a gaff but a 
cleek, and I had the fish out of the water 
quickly. 
I had by this time got to the head of the 
stretch of good water and uninterrupted bank, 
had some tiffin, and made preparations to work

THE GAME BOOK 
Standard Big Game Measurements 
Every man wants to compare his trophy with those of other big-game 
hunters. But comparisons are useless unless there is a fixed standard. 
The game book of the Boone and Crockett Club, the foremost organi¬ 
zation of hunters of American big game, supplies this. Compiled by J. H. 
Kidder, it provides directions for standard measurements of the large game 
animals of America, with spaces carefully arranged for complete data re¬ 
garding the kill, locality, time, conditions, etc. 
It is handsomely and durably bound, pocket size. It is an invaluable 
record for every man who goes into the wild for sport with the rifle, a 
handy book, a camp companion, and a library reminder of days afield.
