Our party consisted of N. ern, H. Forsythe and Jas. McGee. he latter goes fishing every Wed- nesday during the season and has a tending arrangement with a guide or a motor -boat. When we arriv- d _at the lake a drizzly rain was allieg and an east wind was blow - ng off the water. The wise ones old us it was not much use going I ut as we were not likely to get our mit, eight ten inches or over being llowed each person. However the ain cleared and we started off for he grounds, a distance of about fight miles. At the first spot we nchored there seemed to be plenty f fish but most of them were under zee and had to be thrown back. uring -the day about as many fish ere thrown back as were kept. he bass were gamy and put up a ood scrap and many failed to be nded. Mr. Beer caught, the larg- st fish during the day but Bill ays it wasn't nearly as large as ne that got away on him. There ere two hooks on a line and eleven mes during the day two fish were aught at a time... The party had heir limit about four in the after- oon and started for home. A rizzling rain had started again in he afternoon and the party were a orry looking bunch, but what was he rain when the fish were biting. bountiful lunch was eaten or oard.
