Show IN LOGAN CANYON what gallic knows about C tat cli ing trout EDITOR HERALD HERAM having obtained fishing rod line and fly hooks looks we bargained with a fishmonger that we would let him have what trout we wanted to spare at 20 acts per pound he agreed to take po pounds ands at that price and THEN WE STARTED up logan Cany canyon oil this grand gorge in in the mountains is penetrated by means of a toh toll road of very fair width and iu in good condition at each tollgate tolls gate 20 acts is collected for every wagon and team we passed four of them in twenty y five miles we camped at ricks spring one odthe of the most delightful fountains of water in the mountains clear cold and costless costim natures choicest gift to the thirsty humanity hov how I 1 love to slake my parching thirst at that shining stream as it bubbles out from the huge basin basia on the and ripples down dowa sweetly into THE LOGAN RIVER I 1 cast east in ray my hook just abobo this point and after two hours artistic angling came canic to the conclusion that the elih had gone below at all events they were evidently not here at least I 1 eee aee any your correspondent returned to camp minus two hooks lost in the brush and announced the fact that the fish had gone down dowil the river A snug nights rest under a tent and I 1 was was found at 6 a ni fishing at another point with similar success to that which crowned my piscatorial efforts of the preceding day with witt the exception of an all appetite I 1 returned with nothing bu but t A HOOK an empty line and a rod that itself looked thin enough to die of disa disappointment the camp was well 1 nigh starvation as far us trout was concerned when lol lo 10 iu in came the captain of the company with a mesa that would have caused isaak waltons soul to swell with emotion he had been below just as I 1 said those trout had emigrated it was quite reasonable that they should seeing that one of our pa party ty won would id persist in fishing with an umbrella up big enough for a tent while his white duster full five feet iu in diameter fluttered in the canyon breeze like the national flag on a mormon eclida holiday y now perhaps your readers know something about trout when they see them in a or get them corralee corr aled on oil a china dish NICELY BREADED but ill bet seventy two and a half cents that very few of them know much concerning the popular ha 1 bits the cunning waye ways and curious motions of these arist aristocratic cratic representatives senta tives of the finny finny tribes while they are floating in their native waters you hang liang a dead worm or a piece bece of meat ineat in a holc hole and clances cE ten tell chances ances to one some sucker will nibble away at once and if you let him will sl swallow hook and ald all but if you want trout you must make your bait look alive whether it is or not let a minny hang liang in a hole for an hour and no trout will ever smell at it but sink your bit bait to alie bottom and then fetch her up suddenly like a fish darting from its hiding place and mr trout catches it before you can call pull it half way to the surface but THE DAISY THING to catch trout with is a fly hook this is simply constructed a f few ew silken threads attached so as to partially r hide bide the hok and resemble a long tailed fly as much as ps possible ible is just as fascinating to a droutas trout is a six dollar hat to a country maiden but you mu sant let your fly idle away his time he ile must be thrown gracefully in si sight glit and ind then kept traveling in imitation of the genuine article ait icle another thing trout dont come out and feed out of your hand or nibble bait from tile cud end of an ox aft whip if they see or hear a any human liua aman or conceive that thal t human ag agency ency I 1 manipulates anani palates the tile bait no matter how f fascinating a fly you fiali fish with CATCH NO TROUT TROU T you have to keep quiet hide bide behind a bush or willow aud and not let your our line disturb the still waters have it long enough to admit of the fly being thrown pretty well across the stream stream then seek a good deep hole and dout dont wait till you see the tile trout floating like gold old fidi fi di in in a it globe before you yoli fish for for them thein trout aliide liide away where mortal eye fails to find them but when they see what they want they bound even out of lire the water to catch it and then ia is the golden opportunity in A experience EXPERIENC 11 but trout are tire sadly lacking in good sense after all as is shown by the tile eagerness cager nesa with which they bite at an all artificial clr fly while a real live bait is left severe severely y alone here was a friend of mine fetching out beautiful mountain trout with a gaudy silk fly of his own manufacturer manufacture hile I 1 angled for an hour with real aliye grasshoppers larr and never got a bite except what came cam from efrom the mountain M mosquitoes 0 bui which I 1 must con confess fess a added d 4 e to the liveliness five liness of the exercises how ever we caught all the trout we wanted to cat and enjoyed the ride down the canyon after atter two nights in the region of the bears and the fishes the immense undertaking of a company in logan to make a canal on the tile mountain side from a boint point on the logan biver river to the fields elds
