From all the big streams come the most favorable reports as to| their well stocked condition. This holds good in all directions, both in the high Sierras and in the coast streams. The usual number of anglers whipped | the Paper Mill last Sunday and took many trout from this prolific stream. C. A. Reed the Fish and Game War- den at Santa Cruz, reports the angling in that county as improving steadily. He | saw a dozen trout ranging in length from 12 to 24 inches taken near Boulder Creek last Sunday. The best fishing is in the San Lorenzo River below tunnel No. 6. A 14-year-old boy from Watsonville land- | ed eighteen trout, six of which exceeded 22 inches in length. Nobody left the river with an empty creel. The deep pools be- low the tunnel are full of trout. The striped bass are being taken in numbers in Waddell lagoon. They take a Wilson spoon readily, but prefer small live trout, which is the favorite bait. Dams are being repaired on Soquel and Scotts creeks, making these streams too muddy to afford any sport. When they clear they should be good, as scarcely a line has been wet in them this year. . ! Archille Roos, Mr. Lacoste and Sam Heller left last night for Lamoine, on the Sacramento.
