Chances are fish feel the same way. Fishing is generally good on most waters during spring, The Cobbles remains as a monument to the Lewises, a gracious couple, who helped pick up the stones personally and individually as far as 20 miles away, and arranged them in harmonizing shades. This, with the peerless lawns and shrubbery and the striking elevation and setting in Rock Ridge, makes the Cobbles a real beauty spot. In building their home they gave themselves, not just their money, and the residence was erected with greatest care. Indeed, the home is as picturesque inside as it is outside. It has glass crystal teardrop chandaliers like in the but it often slows down in summer as fish seek cool water deep in lakes and reservoirs. Anglers should change their tactics to match the change of fish habits. out by hand. The Cobbles is heated with steam heat from recessed panels, and the floors are of hardwood -- - quarter-sawe- d which cant be purchased oak any more.

There is a giant, full basement - a long hall, and many rooms: a TV room, bedrooms, refrigerator room, living room, furnace room, bathroom, laundry room and a fruit room and a utility room, and a storage room to keep hunting and fishing equipment. There are plenty of rooms, upstairs, a large dining room, three living rooms, kitchen, bathroom, 3 bedrooms, the east sung room and the west connected with french doors, a veranda and patio.

When Mr. Lewis died and Mrs. Lewis still came to see us, one day I asked her what she was going to do with the Cobbles some day. She answered, why Im going to sell it to you, Ed. And that is exactly what the family did when they were settling the estate. Mr. widely Greenwell, known as a pioneer cafe man and popular tenor and entertainer, knows as much as anyone about the wonders of Ogden Canyon and its mountainous majesty and the Lewis family who helped transorm Rock Ridge into a beauty spot.

In 1869 the Lewis family bought three yoke of oxen and two wagons, took their belongings and began a trek for one of the successful mining camps of Nevada. The oxen averaged 15 miles per day. News of mine failures led the Lewis family to locate in Corinne, Utah, which was then a prosperous junction of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific, the Golden site. Spike In 1870, points out Mr. Greenwell, the Lewis family moved to Ogden and founded the J.S. Lewis & Company jewelry firm. He was a good craftsman, businessman, home builder and helpful citizen. He handled pearls and rubies in his jewelry store, stressing quality, and in Ogden Canyon his home-jewwas a natural outgrowth of the trade and craft which he folel lowed. In 1887, his son, John S.

Fishing near inlets where cooler, aerated water from streams enters is often productive. Trolling deep or fishing on the bottom with bait will help get the fishhook where the fish are. This usually requires a boat except on lakes with deep water near the shore. Fishing early and late will find fish feeding in shallower water near the shore. Flies are especially effective during these times of the day. i E j ONE OF the largest moose ever taken from the area was taken by Riley Bushman from the Ogden River area.
