FOREST AND STREAM 
[July 23, 1910. 
Chinook Salmon in Sunapee Lake. 
Tuxedo Park, N. Y., July 15 .—Editor Forest 
and Stream: Lake Sunapee, N. H., always 
unique among American lakes as the home of 
the aureolus or golden trout, has additional 
claims to distinction in that it is the first fresh 
-water lake to produce results from attempts to 
'Sandlock the Pacific chinook salmon. In the 
■crystal depth of this beautiful sheet of water, 
gorging themselves on the schools of smelts, 
■these salmon have apparently found an environ¬ 
ment ideal in every particular, with the possible 
■exception of reproduction. 
Certainly no chinook salmon ever came out of 
its native waters in more splendid condition than 
those that are being taken now from Lake Suna¬ 
pee. 
I have just returned from a two weeks’ fish¬ 
ing trip there, and I had ample opportunities to 
examine many beautiful specimens running from 
four to ten pounds. The heaviest yet reported 
was I believe twelve and a half pounds. This 
fish, I was told, fought for over an hour and 
towed the angler considerably more than a mile. 
From the breaking up of the ice until the last 
week in June these salmon are taken mostly by 
trolling with a silver soldier, a spoon baited with 
smelt or a spinner, but as the surface water be¬ 
comes warmer they resort to the cooler water 
near the bottom of the lake and are taken to¬ 
gether with the golden trout by still-fishing over 
baited localities. 
About one-third of these chinook taken this 
season have well developed spawn, and the com¬ 
ing fall should show whether or not they will 
reproduce in fresh water without dying, as is 
claimed all do on the Pacific coast. 
The deep water fishing for golden trout or 
Sunapee saibling has been unusually good this 
season. Many fine catches of these, locally called 
“white trout,” are brought in, running from one 
to six pounds. 
The train service from either New York or 
Boston is particularly good; no change of cars 
necessary, and the hotel accommodation at Suna¬ 
pee is both reasonable and satisfactory. Last 
season an association was formed by local and 
visiting anglers for the purpose of protecting 
and improving the fishing in these waters, and 
they have already this season turned out into 
protected streams running into the lake many 
thousands of fingerling salmon. 
The accompanying photograph shows the won¬ 
derful condition of these Sunapee Chinooks, al¬ 
though this particular photograph was taken after 
the fish had been out of the water for several 
hours. W. M. Keil.
