Fishing in California. 
San Francisco, Aug. 24. — Editor Forest and 
Si ream: Now that novelty of the hunting sea¬ 
son has worn off, more attention is being paid to 
angling and some fine sport has been enjoyed of 
late. Salmon are commencing to run in the bay 
and a few fish have been taken, although these 
are but the advance guard of what are to come. 
Many fishermen are out after this fine fish, but 
most of them have been forced to return home 
empty handed. However, in the line of steelhead 
fishing there is but little disappointment to be 
experienced, and those who have gone after this 
fish have met with exceptionally good fortune. 
A big run is on at Pescadero, and several five- 
pounders have been taken in the lagoon. In 
San Lorenzo Creek the run is also in evidence, 
and this place will be the rendezvous for steel- 
head fishermen for some time. 
Striped bass are commencing to show them-

selves and some very fine catches have been made 
during the past two weeks. Some of the fish 
landed have been of large size, several having 
been secured in San Antonio slough weighing 
over thirteen pounds. However, these seem like 
small fish as compared with some recently 
landed by J. G. White near San Joaquin City. 
After being cleaned, this fish weighed 3^ pounds 
and must haye weighed almost 40 pounds when 
hooked, as it had a 3-pound shad inside it when 
cleaned. The big fish was landed with a cane 
pole after a struggle that lasted fifteen minutes. 
\\ hite was a member of a party of three, and 
during the day they toolc nine fish, the smallest of 
which weighed 14 pounds. 
1 he Striped Bass Club, of San Francisco, held 
it annual outing at Tocaloma early in the month. 
At the present time many of the streams in 
the sierras are commencing to feel the effects of 
the light snowfall last winter and are getting 
too low for successful fishing. However, this is 
not interfering with the sport of the anglers, who 
understand the situation, for with the waning of 
the streams, lake fishing is getting much better. 
Fishing in Lake Tahoe has been very poor this 
season to date, but is now improving and is ex¬ 
pected to be at its best during September. Gen¬ 
erally speaking, the fishing season in the sierras 
has been more satisfactory this season than in 
many years past. A. P. B.

Newark Bait- and Fly-Casting Club. 
Newark, N. J., Aug. 23 .— Editor Forest and 
Stream: On Sept. 10, the third interstate tour¬ 
nament will be held at Weequahic Park Lake, 
this city, under the auspices of the Newark Bait- 
and Fly-Casting Club. 
It is the aim of the club to make this tourna¬ 
ment second in importance only to the interna¬ 
tional tournament of the National Association, 
held at Chicago, on Aug. 18-20. 
It is expected that this year's tournament will 
have a larger attendance and be even a greater 
success than the one held last year, owing to the 
fact that so-called professionalism will be elimi¬ 
nated, and all the events are open to amateurs 
and professionals alike. 
Besides trophy cups and medals, we are arrang¬ 
ing to distribute a numb'er of merchandise prizes 
to the successful contestants. 
The events will be as follows: Half-ounce
