Is that BraT.l and Daly, two of 'the heavi

TROUT FISHING.
Reports from Many Points Indicate flic
Season a Good Ono-Watcr
Is Subsiding.
Within ten miles of this city the
trout fishing Is not yet at its best.
This Is due to the fact that in the
vicinity of Scranton tho streams find
their outlets and are high with water.
Back In the mountains, however, along
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern and Krle and Wyoming roads the
water has lowered and the present
oughit to be tho best time of the year
In the smaller streams. Within two
weclis or three- the ciigler who chosos
to sport the fly and live bait can got
the large speckled fellows In the Le
high and larger bodies of water.
About Stroud3burg tho brooks are
nol4o high nnd they are falling some
each day, nnd it is only a question of
a few clays before perfect streams will
be the Joy of the many who are un
easy to begin operations. Cherry
Creek and Brodheads are at the pres
ent time iw better condition thnn any
other in the county. Cherry creek In
particular will afford lcoal anglers

Is reported from Marshall's creek.
The streams near Hazleton were well
whipped during the past week. The
Quakake creek is thw favorilo stamp
ing ground nt present, and some excel
lent catches have been made. Albert
BIttenbender is an angler who has done
considerable to excite Interest In this
sport. He is credited with the largest
catch ever made In this region, having
eighty-seven trout to his credit in two
hours. On Thursday ho caught five
trout, each of which measured 14 Inches.
Oley creek Is now being visited by largo
crowds. On Tuesday the anglers tum
bled over each other in their efforts to
secure the speckled beauties. Lizard
creek, Soybortvillo and Cntawlssa
streams are crowded dally by enthusi
asts, though, as far as can be learned,
no extraordinary catches have been
made. Theodore Bartlett has n record
of 122 speckled beauties. This catch
was made In the Brandonvllle stream,
which Is something extraordinary for
this season. The fish rire biting vic
iously at present, and the ordinary lly
bait Is being used with good effecL
