Show FISH LAKE AKE GREAT MOUNTAIN RESORT reaper man spends delightful outing at resort accomma lations unexcelled the reaper man swiped four days between issues this week and accompanied attorney E E hoffmann and son floyd on a fishing trip to fish lake and the only regrettable feature of the outing was that it was necessary to quit and come home it is one of the most delightful trips that can be taken from any point in the state for one who eif 4 joys fishing splendid scenery congenial society recreation ideal climate and the yh undred other things to make the summer vacation pleasant and worth while the roads are in good condition considering si the climb of nearly five thousand feet from this city to the resort going up the trip was made in less than five hours easily without accident or fatigue while the return trip was made in less than four hours which included two or three unnecessary stops that took up several minutes the writer has enjoyed two trips to the yellow stone national park and has been fortunate enough to visit many celebrated beauty spots throughout the country but if permitted to take his choice of resorts for a months outing at this time the verdict would unhesitatingly be in favor of fish lake while the fish fishing ingis is not as good at this time as it will be later on in the season it is not bad and those who are disposed to mix a little gray matter with plenty of elbow grease are experiencing but little difficulty in catching of fish and it should be bourne in mind by our readers that there is no better eating fish than a fifish lake trout an important feature of this splendid resort we found to be that of accommodations the fish lake hotel and camp service is the equal t anything of the kind in the world this popular hostelry is all that is re quiren to make the place complete in every detail as an ideal pleasure and fishing resort the bill of fare at the hotel is as you like it prepared by hands that understand the culinary art and served be waiters fair and courteous from the very minute the excursionist strikes the resort tired and hungry until tie he is ready to take his departure there is a congenial and attend ent ever ivady to make each minute of the visit one of real pleasure if the visitor prefers to live a little closer to nature he may secure a durable tent nicely floored and walled with lumber and furnished with stove and beds just as comfortable and sanitary as can be found in any good hotel the service atso also includes plenty of good fishing boats and gasoline launches there is a store at which a pretty fair line of staple groceries and provisions are ca carried aried as well as a good a assortment sort of fishing tackle best adapted to local use dr W L easton and wife are also the proprietors of a service similar to the above mentioned and while it is not as extensive at this time it is said that the service is excellent and deiy satisfactory to their guests one aning is certain if the people of utah only knew and appreciated this pleasure and fibbing resort as its merits justly warrant charley and doe easton could not possibly even think of accommodating a very small proportion of the people who would visit the place it is to be hoped that these men will get together and pull together to the end that the state the forest department and the citizens of tile the surrounding towns will lend the nece necessary financial aid to shorten and improve the roads and to further perfect fishlike fishlake fish lake as a resort and game center the countey adjacent adja ceritto the lake is also admirably adapted to big game it is not uncommon for tourists t see elk and deer browsing only a short distance away and the act that they are so very tame proves that the wardens are constantly on the job for instance on one beautiful aft moon while attorney hoffman and the writer were enjoying fishing jaunt a in a very pleasant short distance below mr guards hotel we caught a fish and it in accordance with our established custom had pulled out to the shore to take a smoke when to our agree able surprise four beautiful deer walked down to the water within a few feet of us and began to drink they were so very close that it would have been possible for an expert rope artist to have lassoed one of them A wagon was driven within a short distance of them from the other side but they apparently took no notice of the surroundings and walked off like so many sheep the big state fish hatchery situated on twin creeks about one fourth of a mile mie from the lake and only a short distance from the resort sort attracts the attention of all visitors and is one of the most important institutions of its kind in the state more than a million young trout will be taken from this hatchery during the season and plan the various streams the hatchery is under the supervision of county game warden charley hansen of the city |
