AR Frank Rcssi went out with hook and line yesterday and brought back a nice mess of cutthroat from Auk Take. They measured from 12 to 14 inches but the successful fisher- man did not say just what he used to get them on the hook. Bill Saurders, clerk at the Gas- tineau Hotel wha will fish for any- thing that swims, went out today in his boat. Undoubtedly he's gone after kings, but no one will be sur- prised if he brings back a creel full of br-ok trout. What will be sur- prising is if he tells where he got them, Hopping into a cab this morning hound for Peterson Creek, Art Beau- din and Cliff Nordenson are out for a try at the steelhead.
