Book Description

Excerpt from The Oregon Sportsman, Vol. 6: January, 1918; Published Quarterly by Authority of the Oregon Fish and Game Commission HE sun was trying to shine through some thick clouds as we left the station last Saturday morning on one of our weekly winter fishing trips. We were all there with our baggage, and tools of the 'craft, as reports had come in that the conditions were ideal. We had swallowed this sort of bait before many times with indifferent success, but we were just as hopeful this time as we had been before. A fisherman must always be hopeful and wear the badge of optimism; that is part of his religion. The start was clearly propitious; the sun was shining; the weather man stated Fair today and tomorrow, and the reports we carried in our pockets - Conditions fine, now's the time for the steelheads.
